"Lebensraum"™ 1901 geographer Ratzel:
➛states as organisms need space to thrive
(~social Darwinism flavor genocide omen)
➛nazis later added conquest massacres of East subhuman Untermenschen
weaponized distortions kill;
think before 💩 invades 🧠

UN enemy state clauses:
Art.53(1)
allows regional organisations to take enforcement measures against an enemy state,
without prior Security Council authorisation,
if these measures were provided for under Art.107 or aimed at preventing a renewal of that State’s aggressive policy

...
Article 53(2)
defines an enemy State as any State that was an enemy of any signatory of the UN Charter during World War II.
This covered, in particular,
Germany, Italy, Japan, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Finland and probably Thailand.

...
Article 107
says that nothing in the Charter invalidates or prevents any action in relation to an enemy state that was taken or authorised as a result of World War II by the governments responsible for such action.
Those governments could also delegate such action to others.

"People who think they're free in this world just haven't come to the end of their leash yet.
You will have no sensation of a leash around your neck if you sit by the peg.
It is only when you stray that you feel the restraining tug."

A former 25 year career federal agent whose entire job was dealing with gun incidents involving federal agents details all the ways Ross messed up on CBS.
It didn’t air on the actual show tonight.
CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already

⚠️ The Y chromosome (the genetic linchpin of male biological sex) may be falling apart.
Over the past 300 million years, the Y chromosome has shed nearly 97% of its ancestral genes, raising questions about its future.
Some scientists, like evolutionary biologist Jenny Graves, suggest this trend could lead to the Y chromosome's eventual disappearance in a few million years. However, this wouldn't necessarily spell the end of maleness. Several species, including mole voles and spiny rats, have already evolved entirely new systems for determining sex after losing their Y chromosomes, offering a glimpse of what could be in store for humans.
Yet the scientific community is split. Researchers like MIT’s Jenn Hughes argue that the Y chromosome has stabilized, citing the preservation of vital Y-linked genes for over 25 million years, particularly in primates. Graves, however, maintains that genetic conservation doesn't guarantee permanence, especially under evolutionary pressures. Intriguingly, there may already be human populations operating with undetected Y-less sex determination systems, hidden from routine genomic scans. As the debate continues, scientists are closely watching the Y chromosome—wondering if it’s on the brink of extinction or simply adapting in silence.
