I am so sick of so-called conservatives saying that perhaps we should just deport the “worst of the worst.”

During the World Economic Forum in Davos last week, Elon Musk called human aging a “very solvable” problem.
“When we figure out what causes aging, I think we’ll find it’s incredibly obvious,” the billionaire claimed during a conversation with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink. “It’s not a subtle thing.”
For many years now, youth-obsessed billionaires have been forking out immense sums to try experimental techniques that could turn back the clock on their aging bodies.

Minneapolis protests swell after fatal shootings and arrest of a journalist
Thousands of protesters rallied in Minneapolis on Friday in the latest show of anger over US President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, as a prominent journalist was charged over his coverage of protests in the northern city.
Crowds marched with signs blasting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the agency leading Trump's mass deportation drive, in response to a call for a "national shutdown" across the United States.

An evolutionary development is raising alarms among scientists: Two of the world's most destructive crop pests have begun interbreeding — creating destructive hybrids that could threaten food supplies.
According to New Scientist, researchers discovered that two notorious agricultural pests — the cotton bollworm and the corn earworm — have successfully interbred in Brazil, exchanging genes that make them more resistant to pesticides in genetically modified crops.
Both insects are moth species whose caterpillars feed on crops. The corn earworm is native to the Americas and attacks corn, tomato

Luigi Mangione will not face the death penalty, judge rules
Luigi Mangione, charged in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel in December 2024, will not face the death penalty, a federal judge has ruled.
U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett issued her ruling on a defense motion to waive the death penalty in court at a hearing on Friday morning. The Justice Department had sought the death penalty in the case.
"No one could seriously question that this is violent criminal conduct,” Garnett said in a written opinion.

Winter storm snarls airport traffic for second day
The massive winter storm that has impacted much of the U.S. is wreaking havoc on the airline industry for the second consecutive day.
As of 10 a.m. ET, more than 4,500 flights had been canceled on Monday, with another 12,000 delayed, according to FlightAware. That follows a record-setting number of cancellations on Sunday, which saw 12,595 flights canceled and 22,092 delayed.
That was the highest number since the pandemic — and a big jump from Saturday's 4,104 cancellations.

Several US-based Bitcoin (BTC) mining pools have curtailed operations in response to extreme winter weather that strained electricity grids across the country.
The reductions came as an Arctic cold snap brought subfreezing temperatures across large parts of the United States.
According to TheMinerMag, 2 major Bitcoin mining pools serving North America collectively cut over 110 exahashes per second (EH/s) of hashrate in late January 2026.
Foundry USA, the world’s largest Bitcoin mining pool, saw a sharp drop in hashrate. It fell from nearly 340 EH/s to around 242 EH/s late last week.

At what point do "you" end and the outside world begins?
It might feel like a weird question with an obvious answer, but your brain has to work surprisingly hard to judge that boundary. Now, scientists have linked a specific set of brain waves in a certain part of the brain to a sense of body ownership.
In a series of new experiments, researchers from Sweden and France put 106 participants through what's called the rubber hand illusion, monitoring and stimulating their brain activity to see what effect it had.

MicroStrategy executive Michael Saylor warns that the greatest risk to Bitcoin is ambitious opportunists advocating protocol changes.
The remark comes just as Coinbase and the Ethereum network make moves to address one of Bitcoin’s most existential long-term threats: quantum computing.
The MicroStrategy co-founder framed protocol ossification as Bitcoin’s primary defense. According to Michael Saylor, internal attempts to “improve” the network pose a greater danger than external technological threats.

The deaths may mark the start of a heavier-handed response by Iran's theocracy over the demonstrations, which have slowed in the capital, Tehran, but expanded elsewhere. The fatalities, one on Wednesday and five on Thursday, occurred in three cities predominantly home to Iran's Lur ethnic group.

After a volatile 2025, BTC has stalled near the $88,000 mark, and key metrics show a market lacking a clear directional bias.
Selling pressure, while present, is not indicative of panic. The Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR), a key on-chain indicator, hovers just below neutral at 0.994. This suggests that coins being sold are moving, on average, close to their original purchase price, ruling out a fear-driv

At least six people have been killed in widening protests against Iran's worsening economy, authorities said on Thursday, as demonstrations spread outside major cities into rural provinces.
The protests have become the biggest in Iran since 2022, when the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody triggered nationwide demonstrations.
However, the demonstrations have yet to be countrywide and have not been as intense as those surrounding the death of Amini, who was detained over allegedly wearing her hijab incorrectly.
The most-intense violence appeared to strike Azna, a city in Iran
