Trump SPEAKS at Closing Args; Fani COLLUDED with J6 Committee; Hunter ARRAIGNED in CaliforniaPresident Trump seemingly overruled Judge Engoron and spoke during closing arguments despite the Court's prior order that he was precluded from doing so. Trump took the opportunity to slam the court and the judge before being cut off by Engoron.A new report provides more evidence that Fani Willis did in fact collude with Liz Cheney's January 6th Committee prior to indicting Trump. Add this to the White House Visitor's logs and Nathan Wade's billing records, the question becomes who was really running this case?Hunter Biden appeared in California for his criminal arraignment on tax charges immediately after the Oversight Committee passed a resolution to go to the Floor to hold him in Contempt. Hunter's surprise Committee Hearing seems to have galvanized Republicans into voting for contempt, and Rep. Comer responds.

Trump was prohibited from participating in his own closing arguments in his civil fraud trial because he did not agree to personally recite Judge Engoron's disclaimer in open court prior to speaking.Fani Willis got subpoenaed to testify in her "Special" Prosecutor's divorce proceedings, specifically, regarding Nathan Wade's "improper" relationship with the D.A. And why did these two meet with the White House three times before indicting Trump?Hunter Biden brazenly violated his still pending Congressional subpoena (again), this time appearing in Congress and storming out when Marjorie Taylor-Green started speaking. Was Hunter on crack? Journalists demand answers.

Fani's collusion with the January 6th Select Committee is on display in a new letter released by Congress. Prior to charging Trump, Fani sought additional records from Bennie Thompson and the J6'ers as part of her investigation into the Georgia RICO allegations.The DOJ objected to Hunter Biden's request for a Trump subpoena in a new filing in the Delaware criminal prosecution. Prosecutor Leo Wise writes for the government, arguing Hunter's request are over broad and that he hasn't provide evidence to support his claims of vindictive prosecution.America's Ballot Removal "Test Case" hits the Colorado Supreme Court for oral arguments where the Justices ask questions before deciding the future of Trump's place on the ballot.

Welcome to episode #880 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast - Episode #880. In a world where games are no longer just a source of entertainment, we find ourselves in a precarious situation. Warehouse workers are pitted against each other in virtual dragon races, their jobs hanging in the balance. Exhausted Uber drivers are baited with challenges to keep them on the road. Citizens in China are scored to ensure good behavior, and games with in-app purchases cleverly use achievements to drain your finances. In his lastest book, You've Been Played, game designer Adrian Hon exposes the insidious use of games and gamification as tools of exploitation by corporations, schools, and governments. These aren't optional games, but ones we're compelled to play, where losing carries severe consequences. Adrian's work is a powerful critique of a tech-centric world that attempts to mask misery as fun. It's a rallying cry for those who wish to retain their dignity and autonomy in a world increasingly dominated by coercive gamification. As the CEO and founder of Six to Start, he has co-created the world's most successful smartphone fitness game, Zombies, Run! His innovative approach to game design has led to other award-winning games such as We Tell Stories, which has been recognized at SXSW and showcased at prestigious venues like MOMA and the Design Museum. His previous book, A New History of the Future in 100 Objects, was published in 2020. Adrian also shares his insights on games through a monthly column for EDGE magazine. His journey in the gaming industry began at Mind Candy, where he served as Director of Play from 2004 to 2007. During his tenure, he designed and produced the Perplex City alternate reality game. His fascination with ARGs started in 2001 when he moderated the Cloudmakers community for The Beast, an ARG for Steven Spielberg's A.I. His academic background is as diverse as his professional one. He studied Natural Sciences at Cambridge, with a focus on experimental psychology and neuroscience. He even started a neuroscience degree at Oxford in 2003, but his passion for gaming led him to leave after a year to join Mind Candy. His journey is a testament to his belief in the power of games and their potential to shape our future (in both good and terrible ways). Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 49:49.

The former dropped in 1994 while the later appeared in 1999. The Museum of Jurassic Technologies was founded in 1988, but it wasn't originally based in Culver City. Lawrence Weschler's acclaimed account of the museum, Mr. Wilson's Cabinet of Wonders, appeared in 1995. By the time Weschler began exploring the museum, it was based out of Culver. An early display recounting a genus of fungus dubbed Tomentellawas alleged to leave West African ants known as Megaloponera foetens dead with spores protruding from their bodies. Death came after the fungus consumed the ant's brain and nervous system, leaving only a spike-like protrusion out of the creature's head. "Firewalker" most closely resembles this exhibit and the timeframe seems to allow for the X-Files writing staff to explore the museum during this era. After first musical break (4: 10): an epic rundown of the influences behind immersive art and ARGs: Rosicrucianism, the Whitechapel Club, Suicide Clubs, the Fortean Society, Discordianism, Operation Mindfuck, the Cacophony Society.

Dimitri and Khalid talk with music producer/researcher @KhristKoopa about the career of German scientist Franz Anton Mesmer and his theories of “animal magnetism” that took late 18th century France by storm, including: Mesmerism as precursor to Spiritualism, the ain't nuttin' new overlaps between Serious Science and metaphysics throughout history, Mesmer's confirmed membership in the Bavarian Illuminati, discovering a field of “invisible fire” more subtle than ether, Mesmer's remarkable rizz, running group “seances” in Paris, curing the blindness of piano prodigy Maria Theresia von Paradis, hanging out with Mozart, Jesuits lurking on the periphery, the Illuminati's passion for tactical PR and ARGs, early theories of the subconscious, yet another Ben Franklin deboonking saga, noting the real phenomenon of hypnosis operating within Mesmer's “magnetic” therapy, tracing the legacy of magnetism through Freud up to modern mind control, and how the under-examined sex magick teachings of African-American occultist Pascal Beverly Randolph and his Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor/Light influenced Helena Blavatsky and Aleister Crowley.

Eternal Darkness is a revolving door in time, carefully designed to bring all the most significant aspects of horror together in one neatly wrapped - and damn-near-perfect - package of terror. Even its name was chosen to encompass what we all - consciously or subconsciously - fear most: The Eternal Darkness… Think about that; we have a primal fear of the dark– of the unknown - from birth, and it never truly fades. We learn to live with it, but from the earliest days of our ancestors, we - as a species - have strived to defeat it - to push it far away with fire and our ever-evolving command of electricity… But it's always there.  Autumny Ivy (Host) - https://twitter.com/xXAutumnIvyXx Swamp Dweller (Executive-Producer) - https://twitter.com/iSwampDweller Joey Sourlis (Sound production) - https://twitter.com/JoeySourlisVo TDN (Graphics) - https://twitter.com/TDNArtist

As humanity evolves and grows, so does our range of abilities to tell stories. From our ancestors huddled around the campfire telling terrifying experiences to scare impressionable young children away from the darkness. A place where powerful predators lay in wait, to cautionary tales of what happens when we stray from the right path.  As time passed, our stories went from purely verbal to written in influential novels, performed on the stage, heard on the radio waves, experienced on the big screen, and, eventually, into our homes where we surf the web and play our video games. That is the purpose of this new show, to showcase some of the darker stories within the gaming community, the mythos behind our favorite games, and the links to real-world horrors so many of them inhabit.  My name is Chelsea Rebecca; I am the co-host of the Dead Meat Podcast, a horror fan, and a gaming lover. I'm fascinated by the how and why behind all horror media, and tonight, I invite you to get comfy, stay alert and prepare to embark on a journey into The Dark Side Of Gaming.

ARG é um estilo diferente de apresentar uma narrativa, permitindo que o criador use as respostas do público participante para moldar o que acontece ou usar métodos criativos como legendas, descrições e tags para dar dicas. Essa narrativa vai de simples resoluções de desafios temáticos até histórias com temas do horror e terror. No entanto, ainda existe um grande debate em torno das características pelas quais o termo "jogo de realidade alternativa" deve ser definido.  Vários outros especialistas, no entanto, apontam para o uso de várias mídias de transmissão como o atributo definidor dos ARGs. Ou seja, a principal coisa sobre um ARG é a maneira como ele salta de todas essas plataformas. É um jogo social e chega até você através de todas as diferentes maneiras que você se conecta ao mundo ao seu redor. Um ARG que se tornou muito famoso foi o Cicada 3301 (MFC 68). A origem do nome vem de uma espécie de cigarra localizada nas ilhas gregas e literalmente significando “inseto barulhento da noite”, dando uma visão ampla dos pensamentos e opiniões daqueles no grupo. No episódio de hoje, nossos investigadores Andrei Fernandes, Lucas Balaminut, Jey, Gabi Larocca e Hell comentam sobre Args que também não estão restritos apenas a uma plataforma, e sim a várias, como o YouTube e até mesmo o Twitter.

The future is now people! This week, Angie introduces us to a whole new way of LARP gaming & Molly brings us a whole new body part to change the way our brains think.

Diets high in fiber associated with less antibiotic resistance in gut bacteria United States Department of Agriculture, May 10, 2022 Healthy adults who eat a diverse diet with at least 8-10 grams of soluble fiber a day have fewer antibiotic-resistant microbes in their guts, according to a study published by Agricultural Research Service scientists and their colleagues in mBio. Microbes that have resistance to various commonly used antibiotics such as tetracycline and aminoglycoside are a significant source of risk for people worldwide, with the widely held expectation that the problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR)—the term that refers to bacteria, viruses, and fungi that are resistant to antibiotics—is likely to worsen throughout the coming decades.  In this study, the researchers were looking for specific associations of the levels of antibiotic resistance genes in the microbes of the human gut with both fiber and animal protein in adult diets. The researchers found regularly eating a diet with higher levels of fiber and lower levels of protein, especially from beef and pork, was significantly correlated with lower levels of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG) among their gut microbes. Those with the lowest levels of ARG in their gut microbiomes also had a greater abundance of strict anaerobic microbes, which are bacteria that do not thrive when oxygen is present and are a hallmark of a healthy gut with low inflammation. Bacterial species in the family Clostridiaceae were the most numerous anaerobes found. The strongest evidence was for the association of higher amounts of soluble fiber in the diet with lower levels of ARGs. Soluble fiber, as its name suggests, dissolves in water and is the main type of fiber found in grains like barley and oats; legumes like beans, lentils and peas, seeds (like chia seeds) and nuts; and some fruits and vegetables like carrots, berries, artichokes, broccoli and winter squash. Probiotics stop menopause-like bone loss in mice Emory and Georgia State universities, May 6, 2022 Probiotic supplements protected female mice from the loss of bone density that occurs after having their ovaries removed, researchers at Emory University School of Medicine and Georgia State University have shown  The findings suggest that probiotic bacteria may have potential as an inexpensive treatment for post-menopausal osteoporosis. However, clinical evidence that probiotics can have a lasting effect on the mix of bacteria in the body is limited. Emory and Georgia State researchers found that in mice, the loss of estrogen increases gut permeability, which allows bacterial products to activate immune cells in the intestine. In turn, immune cells release signals that break down bone. Probiotics both tighten up the permeability of the gut and dampen inflammatory signals that drive the immune cells, the team found. Researchers led by Pacifici treated female mice twice a week with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG), a type of bacteria found in some yogurts, or with a commercially available mix of eight strains of bacteria known as VSL#3. Good nutrition positively affects social development, research shows University of Pennsylvania, May 6, 2022  Proper nutrition during childhood can positively affect a child's social behaviors and development. It's a unique take on a field that often focuses on how poor diet negatively influences early childhood development. For this study, the scientists analyzed a sample of 1,795 3-year-old children from Mauritius, an island off the eastern coast of Africa with a population of about 1.3 million people. They focused on four aspects of physical health related to nutrition and four indicators of social development. Physical health factors included anemia expressed by low hemoglobin levels, reflecting iron deficiency; angular stomatitis revealed by cracked lips and a lack of vitamin B2 and niacin; and insufficient protein intake indicated by thin or sparse hair and hair discoloration.  The researchers considered a child with just one of the quartet as “suffering from nutritional deficits.” However, children with more malnutrition indicators showed more impaired social behavior. Social interactions studied included friendliness, extent of verbalization, active social play and exploratory behavior.  Examining the relationship between these components after the fact, they teased out a neurocognitive link between nutrition and comprehensive social behavior. It's a connection undiscovered to this point. “The bigger message is give children good nutrition early on,” Liu said. “Not only will it enhance cognitive function but, importantly, promote good social behavior,” which is essential to brain development and intelligence. “In the same study,” Raine said, “we've shown that children with positive social behavior, eight years later, they have higher IQs.” Diabetes almost doubles risk of death from COVID University of Aberdeen, May 10, 2022 People with diabetes were almost twice as likely to die with COVID and almost three times as likely to be critically or severely ill compared to those without diabetes. However, the study conducted by researchers from the University of Aberdeen, which reviewed data from hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world, also found that good management of the condition can mitigate against the risks.  Specifically, the collaboration with King's College, London, found that while diabetes presents a significant risk of severe illness and death with COVID, good control of blood sugar in these patients can significantly reduce this risk.  The researchers reviewed findings from 158 studies that included more that 270,000 participants from all over the world to determine how COVID affects people living with diabetes.  Eating nuts linked to lower risk of colon cancer Seoul National University College of Medicine (Korea), May 6, 2022 Eating nuts has been linked to a number of health benefits, such as a reduced risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Now, new findings from South Korea suggest that a nut-rich diet may also reduce a person's risk of colon cancer.  The researchers found a reduction in this risk for both men and women. Eating a serving of nuts three or more times a week appeared to have a big effect on risk. In the study, a serving of nuts was considered to be 15 grams (0.5 ounces). That's a smaller amount than what's considered a serving in the United States (A serving in the U.S. is 28 g, or 1 oz.) Although the researchers included many types of nuts in their analysis, peanuts were the most widely consumed nuts among people in the study. This may be due to the availability of peanuts in South Korea, the researchers said. The researchers found that men who reported eating three or more servings of nuts a week had a 69 percent lower risk of colon cancer than those who reported eating no nuts. Women who ate three or more servings had an 81 percent lower risk than those who ate no nuts, according to the study. Nicotinamide riboside repairs features of Alzheimer's disease NIH's National Institute on Aging, May 6, 2022 Researchers have found that an NAD+ precursor helped mice with features of Alzheimer's disease perform better on learning and memory tests… The brain's usual DNA repair activity is impaired in Alzheimer's disease, leading to inflammation and dysfunction. A compound that the brain needs to regulate DNA repair and other key signalling pathways is known as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Because NAD+ declines with age, scientists have wondered whether boosting the level of NAD+ could help ageing brain cells (neurons) to function better. One way to increase the cellular level is by giving an NAD+ precursor compound, such as nicotinamide riboside (NR). NR is a form of vitamin B3. The team found that the NR-treated mice had less DNA damage, lower levels of neuron damage and death, increased production of new neurons, and lower brain inflammation than control mice. Mice who received NR had reduced tau in their brains, too, but amyloid-beta levels were unchanged. The NR-treated mice performed better than control mice on many learning and memory tests, such as a water maze. In addition, NR-treated mice had better muscle strength and endurance than controls. The research team also tested human cells from people with and without Alzheimer's disease. As in the mouse studies, NR decreased DNA damage in the cells from people with Alzheimer's.
