Xipe Totec's JournalWhy I'm Obsessed with the "Worst Nun in History"
I am proud to consider myself her "paisana" and do think of her as the first feminist of the Americas. I have in my library her biography written by Octavio Paz. She is said to have corresponded with Isaac Newton, in Latin. Do seek to learn whatever you can find about this remarkable woman. She is my heroine.

This is a restatement of Dunning-Kruger, and the effect it has on the audience.

Widespread Supply Chain Compromise Impacting npm Ecosystem
Source: Cyber Security & Infrastructure Security Agency
Release DateSeptember 23, 2025
CISA is releasing this Alert to provide guidance in response to a widespread software supply chain compromise involving the world’s largest JavaScript registry, npmjs.com. A self-replicating worm—publicly known as “Shai-Hulud”—has compromised over 500 packages.
After gaining initial access, the malicious cyber actor deployed malware that scanned the environment for sensitive credentials. The cyber actor then targeted GitHub Personal Access Tokens (PATs) and application programming interface (API) keys for cloud services, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure.[ii]
The malware then:
Exfiltrated the harvested credentials to an endpoint controlled by the actor.
Uploaded the credentials to a public repository named Shai-Hulud via the GitHub/user/repos API.
Leveraged an automated process to rapidly spread by authenticating to the npm registry as the compromised developer, injecting code into other packages, and publishing compromised versions to the registry.[iii]

If this is the wrong forum I apologize but getting the message out quickly is important.

Psychedelics and Immortality Take Center Stage at MAHA Summit
Social-media influencers and anti-ageing entrepreneurs mingled with top US government officials, including the head of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), at an exclusive event steps from the White House this month. The meeting’s purpose was to discuss the future of health in the United States.
Organizers called it the MAHA Summit, referring to US health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s signature ‘Make America Healthy Again’ movement. Attendees included Kennedy, US vice-president JD Vance, NIH director Jayanta Bhattacharya, US Food and Drug Administration chief Marty Makary and the food activist Vani Hari, who blogs under the name Food Babe. Sessions at the summit, which Nature attended, covered a wide range of health-related topics, including psychedelics, brain implants and anti-ageing therapies. Academic researchers and clinicians were not among the speakers at the sessions, which were peppered by comments critical of the medical establishment.
Because science.
