The TLDR on the "Hitler DNA" story, as with most new Hitler stories, is that we don't really have any new or earth shattering information about the guy. He definitely had Parkinsons. He may have had an undescended testicle. none that changes what we know about the guy.
Right. Hitler's DNA. Brace yourselves for a deluge of misinformation and bad science.
I'm in Australia, so do get in touch if you want some expert debunking.

The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act.
The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.

Honestly I love a good illustrated, pre-rendered background, particularly from old '90s CRPGs. They give a certain magic to their worlds that modern games struggle to convey.

What’s happened here is: these horrible people deliberately fucked over every man, woman and child in these islands, entirely to benefit their own worthless careers. Now, they are going to go down in history as maybe Britain’s most reviled government. And you have to say, they have 100% earned it.

The definition of “woke” is extremely pliable, and today seems to mean “objects to Nazi tattoos”.
Establishment Democrats spent a full year complaining the Left forced them to be “woke.”
But then a left populist, Graham Platner, threatened to win in Maine, so they went right back to trying to cancel someone over old internet posts.

University education empowers and refines people's critical thinking skills. So its natural that reactionary opinion & reactionary power centres despise universities and are highly motivated to turn the public against them. Can't have large numbers of people thinking critically about the status quo!
'YouGov asked voters for their views after prime minister Keir Starmer recently scrapped the 50 per cent higher education participation target, saying it was not “right for our times”, in favour of a new target encompassing apprenticeships as well.' 1/3

Explain to me why “conversion therapy” is banned in 28 countries and ABA is not, when they have the same creator (O. Ivar Lovaas) and utilize similar if not identical principles, techniques, and goals (forced assimilation).
Autism $peaks is the largest and most popular Autism organization (among allistics), who continues to be 100% in support of ABA. They have lobbyists who push ABA as the “gold standard Autism treatment.” It utilizes same practices as “conversion therapy,” which is currently banned in 28 countries.
ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) is the “gold standard” of “treatment” for Autism, and was created by the person as “Conversion therapy” (see Lovaas) with similar techniques and goals. It’s torture that continues to have widespread support and acceptance.
