Russian company claims it has put computer chips in cows’ brains to make them produce more milk
Not The Bee | June 19, 2026 | Harambe Harambe

Although much of the technology remains speculative, the Russian company Neiry claims to have directly implanted neural devices in the brains of dairy cows…

The company said in its announcement that the cows that received the initial neurostimulation devices ‘remained conscious, felt well, experienced no discomfort, and have already returned to their normal production cycles on the farm.’ It did not detail how the devices were implanted, what research went into designing them or what animal welfare precautions were taken.

More interesting still is just how such a device would affect cows in the first place.

A web site that depends on 100% voluntary donations [or no donations at all] has much more flexibility than a web site that requires a mandatory payment.

Such a site has very limited legal liability.

If a monthly subscription is required, the site is instantly vulnerable to:
copyright lawsuits [because they’re making money off others’ work]
libel lawsuits, and
hate speech lawsuits that result in injury or damage.

Lawyers. God love ’em.

New Pentagon release details “potato” UAP over Colorado Springs

The latest batch of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) reports from the Department of War includes an incident in 2022 in which five members of the U.S. Army reportedly saw an object shaped like a potato hovering over Cheyenne Mountain. …

“The object was ‘potato’ shaped with distinct edges and appeared to look painted in a creamy/whitish opalescent color. It was somewhat translucent with a slight shimmer”…

Feds Offer Up To $15 Million For Tips On Top MS-13 Leaders ‘Porky’ And ‘Cuervo’
Tampa Free Press | June 18, 2026 | Jack Kaminsky

The U.S. government is significantly ramping up its efforts to capture two high-ranking leaders of the MS-13 gang, offering a combined reward of up to $15 million for information leading to their arrest or conviction. …

Specifically, authorities increased the reward to up to $10 million for Yulan Adonay Archaga Carías, a fugitive widely known by the alias “Porky.” A separate reward of up to $5 million is being offered for Víctor Eduardo Morales Zelaya, who goes by the street name “Cuervo.”

Continue reading ‘Friday Night Open Thread: Was Lincoln a Genius?’ »]]> All humans agree that slavery is an abomination. (The grey area of wage slavery, we won’t go into at this time.)

Was it a mark of genius on Lincoln’s part to place one thing even higher on the scale of morality, instead of taking the easy route, and simply condemning slavery?

It was the Constitution that he was sworn to protect. It was the union, the notion that the government of the people, etc., should not perish from the earth.

Lincoln’s statement may be equivalent to saying that murderers, stranglers, and wife-beaters must be punished, but only by the system of jury trial — which above all must be preserved.

Executive Mansion
Washington, August 22, 1862.

Hon. Horace Greeley:
Dear Sir.

I have just read yours of the 19th. addressed to myself through the New-York Tribune. If there be in it any statements, or assumptions of fact, which I may know to be erroneous, I do not, now and here, controvert them. If there be in it any inferences which I may believe to be falsely drawn, I do not now and here, argue against them. If there be perceptable in it an impatient and dictatorial tone, I waive it in deference to an old friend, whose heart I have always supposed to be right.

As to the policy I “seem to be pursuing” as you say, I have not meant to leave any one in doubt.

I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be “the Union as it was.” If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.

I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men every where could be free.

Yours,
A. Lincoln.

In just over five months he issued the Emancipation Proclamation.

Largest Known Wild Chimpanzee Community Breaks Apart After Decades of Unity

SciTech Daily | June 2, 2026 |  University of Texas at Austin

Wild chimpanzees in Uganda split into two separate communities and later engaged in deadly attacks against each other.

.

For the first 20 years of research, the chimpanzee community remained united. Individuals regularly moved among flexible subgroups, known as “clusters,” while maintaining social bonds across the larger group. This fission-fusion social structure is common in chimpanzees, with members temporarily separating and later rejoining.

That pattern began to change in 2015, when researchers noticed growing division between the Western and Central clusters, which increasingly avoided one another.
