Gretchen Whitmer and Kathy Hochul and JB Pritzker are still the governors of their respective states, despite having turned their states into police states. None of it matters.

A massive black hole at the heart of a galaxy in the Virgo constellation is waking up, shooting out intense X-ray flares at regular intervals that have puzzled scientists, a study said Friday. Astronomers previously had little reason to pay any attention to galaxy SDSS1335+0728, which is 300 million light years from Earth. But in 2019, the galaxy suddenly started shining with a brightness that turned some telescopes its way. Then in February last year, Chilean astronomers started noticing regular bursts of X-rays coming from the galaxy. This was a sign that the galaxy's sleeping black hole was waking from its slumber, according to the study published in the journal Nature Astronomy. Most galaxies, including our home Milky Way, have a supermassive black hole squatting at their heart, like a spider in a web.

Humans are not thought to have been able to reach or inhabit these environments prior to the dawn of agriculture, and the technological shift that accompanied this transition. In a paper published in Nature this week, new evidence shows that hunter-gatherers were crossing at least 100 kilometers (km) of open water to reach the Mediterranean island of Malta 8,500 years ago, a thousand years before the arrival of the first farmers. This report documents the oldest true long-distance seafaring in the Mediterranean, before the invention of boats with sails - an astonishing feat for hunter-gatherers likely using simple dugout canoes.

🇮🇱 Trump's Iran talks can succeed if the administration embraces reality rather than myth

The talks between Iran and the U.S. set to begin today have a chance to succeed if the Trump administration grounds its policy in the realities of Iran's nuclear program, not fearmongering promoted by Israel and its allies. Iran and the United States are set to meet indirectly today in Oman, in the hopes of finding a way to resolve their confrontations over Iran's nuclear program without resorting to an "Israeli-led" attack on Iran. There are a lot of details to parse if these discussions are to bear fruit. It will be important to see whether each side — though most of the concern here really lays with the American side — is willing, at least in the context of these talks, to deal with realities over propaganda and pragmatism over sloganeering. These talks are different from earlier ones. High-level officials from Donald Trump's administration are leading these talks.

🏛️ McKinley or Lincoln? Tariffs vs. Greenbacks

President Trump has repeatedly expressed his admiration for Republican President William McKinley, highlighting his use of tariffs as a model for economic policy. But critics say Trump's tariffs, which are intended to protect U.S. interests, have instead fueled a stock market nosedive, provoked tit-for-tat tariffs from key partners, risk a broader trade withdrawal, and could increase the federal debt by reducing GDP and tax income. The federal debt has reached $36.2 trillion, the annual interest on it is $1.2 trillion, and the projected 2025 budget deficit is $1.9 trillion - meaning $1.9 trillion will be added to the debt this year. It's an unsustainable debt bubble doomed to pop on its present trajectory. The goal of Elon Musk's DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) is to reduce the deficit by reducing budget expenditures. But Musk now acknowledges that the DOGE team's efforts will probably cut expenses by only $1 trillion, not the $2 trillion originally projected. That will...

🌐 NATO needs Romania to launch WWIII - Georgescu

In an interview with US journalist Tucker Carlson, he said his staunch pro-peace stance was among the main reasons why he was barred from running for president. The right-wing politician, known as an outspoken critic of NATO, the EU, and Western support for Ukraine, scored a surprise win in the first round of November's presidential election, receiving 23% of the vote. However, the country's Constitutional Court swiftly moved in to annul the result over alleged "irregularities" in his campaign. Later, Georgescu was stripped of his right to run for office.

📰 SOTT FOCUS: NewsReal: What's Really Behind Trump's Tariffs-Trade War?

Turns out, out-competing China is the reason for Trump's "return to 19th-century tariffs." But as we've been seeing, Trump "flinched" when the US bond market spiked, something he apparently didn't expect to happen. And so now, just a couple of weeks after the introduction of tariffs, the US government is "pausing" the tariffs - and even exempting from tariffs the bulk of key imports the US depends on from China. Still, American rhetoric about "beating China" is picking up steam, and sounding increasingly aggressive. Separately, Trump has issued Iran with a 2-month ultimatum to "make a deal over nuclear power, or else!" Of course, Iran DID have such a deal, until Trump tore it up in 2017, but that glaring inconsistency aside, are the US "make a deal" ultimatums to these two countries, Iran and China, connected in some way? Worryingly, it appears that they are, and it's all to do with waning US influence on global energy markets... Running Time: 01:53:08 Download: MP3 — 104 MB

Sweden has seen massive demographic changes over the last 25 years, and this is not only reflected in the demographic composition, but also the religious composition of the country. While churches continue to close their doors, the country went from approximately seven mosques in 2000 to now 300 in 2025. The exact figures are difficult to ascertain, however, the 300 mosques refers to permanent prayer places built for Muslim worship, which often feature a minaret and a dome. If unofficial places of Muslim worship are factored in, such as converted shops or basements, the number would likely be far higher, according to Swedish newspaper Samnytt. "If by mosque you mean a Muslim place of worship, the number may be close to 300," said Frederic Brusi, the knowledge officer of the Swedish Agency for Support to Religious Communities.

🔥 25-foot dead whale washes up at Huntington Beach, California

A 25-foot grey whale was found dead near Huntington Beach Pier, prompting an investigation. The Pacific Marine Mammal Center is conducting a necropsy to determine the cause of death. The adult female whale, weighing 60,000 pounds, has been cordoned off.

🔥 Super bright meteor fireball spotted all over Italy on April 12

A very bright greenish bolide crossed the skies of all of Italy at around 9:00 pm today, April 12, 2025. We have received many reports of sightings (from north to south of Italy). Don't panic, because it is a so-called bolide, that is, blocks of rocky or ferrous material (a brighter meteor) or, in rare cases, the fragment (or fragments) of an object of anthropogenic origin. The color is given by the chemical composition (if it were confirmed to be green, today's would have a prevalence of magnesium). With reference to the rocky or ferrous material, a bolide is a meteor with a high brightness: it is a term commonly used but it is not scientific, since astronomers do not catalog meteors based on their brightness. Here is the video taken by our friends at AstroGargano : (Translated by Google)
