Loopholes were small slits in castle walls that let archers fire arrows, and the modern use of the term reflects the apparent contradiction between the intent of an impenetrable wall and having small holes in it that allow defenders to gain an advantage.

The ‘Age of Piracy’ only lasted around 80 years. It started in 1648 after the Treaty of Westphalia pushed European powers to hire privateers, and declined between 1714 and 1723 when the War of Spanish succession ended, Nassau was retaken, and every famous pirate had been killed or captured.

Let’s talk about the Pontifical Swiss Guard—the world’s most stylish (and lethal) holy bouncers.
The OG Holy Bodyguards
- Founded January 22, 1506, when Pope Julius II hired 150 Swiss mercenaries because, let’s be real, Italian Renaissance politics were messy.
-Why Swiss? Back then, Swiss soldiers were the Navy SEALs of Europe—brutally disciplined, fiercely loyal, and very hard to bribe.
The Ultimate Flex: 500 Years of Service
- The Swiss Guard is the oldest continuously active military unit in the world (even older than the British Royal Marines!).
-Their Michelangelo-meets-clown-college uniforms? Designed in 1914—because if you’re gonna protect God’s CEO on Earth, you must look iconic.
Not Just Fancy Hats—They’re Deadly
-1527: The Sack of Rome → 147 Swiss Guards died fighting so Pope Clement VII could escape through a secret tunnel. Only 42 survived Absolute ride-or-die energy.
-Today, they’re fully trained modern soldiers—SWAT tactics, counterterrorism, & yes, still carrying halberds.
Joining the Holy Squad = Extreme Vetting
✅ Single Catholic Swiss men only
✅ Swiss military training completed
✅ Minimum 2-year vow
Why This Matters Geopolitically?
-The Vatican is the smallest sovereign state but with its own army, intelligence, and global influence.
-The Swiss Guard symbolizes Church power—spiritual & temporal.
The Pope doesn’t just have bodyguards… he has a 500-year-old death squad in clown costumes.

We know penguins as adorable, but these creatures have depraved traits that even scientists are trying to hide because of how disturbing they are.
1. Penguins are necrophiliacs, that is, they have s€x with dead penguins. This act is specific to the Adelie penguins found in Antarctica.
2. When female emperor penguins have a miscarriage, they will scour their community for lost or abandoned chicks; when they can’t find any, they will kidnÆp another mother's chick.
3. The Adelie penguins form gangs and then go around committing despicable acts such as th£ft, murd£r, and gang råpê. They can even commit these acts against baby Adelie penguins, to achieve supremacy.
4. The Humboldt penguins mate in poop. That is, they have s!x in sh*t.
5. Adélie penguins need stones to build their nests, but if a penguin couple lacks stones, the female penguin will sneak off and have sëx with a male that has a surplus of stones. That's right: adélie penguins do sèx trafficking and pr*stitution.

🚨 The Harsh Truth Most Men Won’t Face 🚨
Most men today:
• Are clueless about global events, finance, or culture
• Can’t build real connections (networking or relationships)
• Operate with zero self-confidence
• Stay broke, blaming the system instead of improving
• Have no charisma, no presence, no game
• Mumble through conversations like background noise
• Give weak handshakes, avoid eye contact, and radiate insecurity
• Can’t even perform in the bedroom
Here’s the good news: The bar is LOW.
We’re living in an era where just a little effort puts you in the top 10%.
- Train your body → You’re ahead.
- Sharpen your mind → You’re ahead.
- Master discipline → You’re unstoppable.
The competition? Nonexistent.
The world isn’t "hard"—it’s waiting for those willing to dominate.
Donald Trump has imposed a 10% tariff on the uninhabited Heard and McDonald Islands. The population is 0. But there are huge populations of penguins there.
The most remote landmasses in the world are in the southern Indian Ocean and consist of two main islands, Heard Island and McDonald Island. They are external territories of Australia.

Imagination, Paginated
Today is International Children’s Book Day, marking the 1805 birthday of Hans Christian Andersen, whose beloved fairy tales include “The Little Mermaid,” “The Ugly Duckling,” “The Princess and the Pea,” and “Thumbelina.” Although children’s literature is relatively young itself, arising as a distinct genre in the 18th century, it’s making up for lost time.

In 1914, Emiliano Zapata, a Mexican revolutionary, led a peasant uprising in central Mexico against wealthy landowners who controlled land and water for sugar cane production, supported by dictator Porfirio Díaz.
Despite Mexico banning slavery, poor peasants were trapped in indentured servitude, forced to buy goods on credit at high prices, keeping them in debt and bound to work.
Zapata’s rebel army fought to reclaim stolen land for peasants, uniquely allowing women to serve as combatants and officers. Though they never took over the central government, they supported the poor in their territory.
In 1916, at 39, Zapata was betrayed, ambushed, and killed by government forces. His famous quote was, “I’d rather die standing than live on my knees.”

The "affluenza" case refers to Ethan Couch, a Texas teenager who, in 2013 at age 16, killed four people and injured several others in a drunk-driving crash. His defense argued that his wealthy upbringing caused "affluenza," a condition implying he couldn’t understand consequences due to privilege. A judge sentenced him to 10 years of probation instead of prison, sparking widespread outrage over perceived leniency and inequality in the justice system. Couch later violated probation, fled to Mexico with his mother in 2015, and was eventually jailed for nearly two years, released in 2018.
