Why Congress Is Seriously Investigating UFOs > Recent observations of exoplanet K2-18b have revealed compelling evidence for potential life beyond Earth. This discovery raises profound questions: Are there intelligent beings elsewhere in the cosmos? Could they have already visited our planet? In this video, we’re digging into the evidence, examining UFO (or UAP) sightings and investigating whether the Pentagon is concealing evidence from the public. I thought this was a pretty good breakdown from an openminded mainstream channel.

The Continental Bait-and-Switch https://mises.org/mises-wire/continental-bait-and-switch By Joshua Mawhorter > The Continentals and other paper monies only temporarily retained some value largely because of an initial promise of future redemption in gold and silver—a monetary “bait-and-switch.”

TGIF: "Due Process" under Anarcho-Capitalism | The Libertarian Institute > Libertarian advocates of minimal government, such as the late Robert Nozick (Anarchy, State, and Utopia, 1974), have feared that individuals in a stateless libertarian society would face corrupt or careless protection firms that used “risky” rights-enforcement procedures to determine guilt or liability. Innocent people might be held responsible for offenses they did not commit, while guilty individuals avoid paying restitution to their victims. Obviously, that would be undesirable. > Without a minimal monopoly state to prohibit such abuse and protect “procedural rights,” how could innocent people pursue their happiness securely? Nozick speculated that in an anarcho-capitalist society, a protection agency using reliable procedures would emerge as dominant, preempt risky competitors (while compensating them for putting them out of business), and eventually become a monopoly minimal government. All this would happen through a nonaggressive invisible-hand process. Nozick’s innovative theory drew critiques from the biggest names in the libertarian anarchist world, especially Murray Rothbard, Roy A. Childs Jr., and Randy Barnett. (See the Journal of Libertarian Studies 1, No. 1, Winter 1977).

Stacker Sports Pod • Episode 64: NFL Home Stretch and NBA Player Power Rankings https://www.fountain.fm/episode/PfguJyT90JIPG0MD689o I love all-time player rankings. Where do you all think King Henry or CMC rank amongst the great RBs? Where does Jokic rank amongst the best basketball players?

Every NFL Team’s WORST Mistake! (Last Five Years) I'm very curious how he'll narrow it down for some of us. I'll be taking notes as I watch, so I can share some select franchises' mistakes. **Cardinals**: Extending Kingsbury and Keim **Bills**: Von Miller @ $120M for 6 **Cowboys**: Parsons trade **Texans**: Trading Hopkins for a 2nd rounder **Raiders**: Josh McDaniels **Chargers**: $82.5M for J.C. Jackson (or just hiring Staley in the first place) **Rams**: WR Allen Robinson (not much to choose from) **Vikings**: Entire '22 draft **Giants**: Danny Dimes contract extension **Jets**: Drafting Zach Wilson **49ers**: Trading three 1st round picks for Trey Lance

The NBA is letting offenses do whatever they want From Thinking Basketball > Why are offenses more efficient than ever? This video is about the 2026 NBA officiating style, and how offenses are pushing the boundaries of the rules further than ever, handicapping defenses in the process. Is a balance between offensive and defensive rules even important? Ben continues doing the lord's work documenting the disgusting state of modern officiating. More than any of the previous videos, this one hits on my main pet-peeves. I still can't, for the life of me, understand why this garbage is allowed. Everyone seems to hate it and it's extremely obvious.

Why Are Houses So Expensive? It's Deliberate Government Policy https://mises.org/mises-wire/why-are-houses-so-expensive-its-deliberate-government-policy By Ryan McMaken > High prices are not the “unintended consequence” of good intentions. ![](https://m.stacker.news/123477) ![](https://m.stacker.news/123478) I wonder if homeowners will get rugged once Boomers have less political power than the Zoomers. I'm guessing not, because localities also count on high property values for tax revenue, so the pressure will always be upwards.

We Just Found All the Ingredients for Life on this Asteroid... From Celestium > A capsule returns ancient asteroid dust to Earth, revealing water, carbon, and DNA building blocks. Bennu’s secrets suggest life’s ingredients arrived from space, rewriting humanity’s cosmic origin story forever changed. Pretty surprising discovery. This isn't the normal finding of methane and other simple organic molecules like that. They found full blown amino acids and nucleotides.

How good will OKC's best draft pick be? OKC has a ludicrous trove of draft capital in this upcoming draft.
