Mainstream Media Insights
Note: It is essential to remain critical of what you read in mainstream media because it presents a filtered reality that reflects the vision of the anointed - those who claim to have the solutions to society's problems. By questioning and verifying information, readers can cut through the spin and gain a more accurate understanding of the world, rather than relying on a one-sided narrative.

I got to see the Bird Buddy's new pollinator cam in person.
Every year at the Consumer Electronics Show, there are scores of new gadgets introduced. Many of the products never make it to market. They're only proof of concept or prototypes that could be used to make a product. Bird Buddy's new $129 Petal smart nature camera is a very good one. The Petal and its Wonder Blocks system went up for pre-order on April 29 and became an instant hit. A company representative said the campaign raised more than a million dollars in 24 hours, crushing its $100,000 goal. At the time of writing, it had raised over $1.8 million from 6,300 backers. Why is there so much hype?...

It almost works.
It comes by its surprise. Yelena Belova feels adrift, unfulfilled, and bored in the latest iteration of the superhero saga. The light inside her has gone out. It looks like ennui has turned into depression. As the film explores what more than one character calls "the void," Yelena's numbness gives way to an openness, a kind of calm curiosity. This emptiness is what follows a lifetime of disappointment as well as specific traumas that haunt Yelena, her ragtag crew of anti-heroes. There are references to unforgivable betrayals, mental illness, domestic violence, parental neglect and death. The void is survivable with human connection, that's the message that Thunderbolts is trying to leave the viewer with....

Thousands of Medicare Advantage members get to leave when hospitals ditch their plans.
For several years, Fred Neary had been seeing five doctors at the Baylor Scott & White Health system, whose 52 hospitals serve central and northern Texas, including Neary's home in Dallas. In October, his Humana Medicare Advantage plan warned that he and the insurer were fighting over a new contract. He would have to find new doctors or health insurance if they couldn't reach an agreement. Neary, who retired from a career in financial services, said that his medical information is with the company. His doctors are close to his house. After so many years, starting over with a new doctor relationship didn't feel like an option, and Neary was forced to choose between the two. He was able to pick a new Advantage plan because his Humana plan ended a day before the new year. Advantage members who lose providers are not as lucky....

The artificial intelligence patrols the streets with a live camera.
The future of law enforcement is wearing a robotic face. Police forces around the globe are using artificial intelligence to improve public safety. Thailand has emerged as a key player in this shift, using its first artificial intelligence police robot during the chaotic Songkran festival, which raises critical questions about safety, privacy and the role of technology in society.

Critics question the practicality of the Royal Thai Police's claim that the robot is a "force multiplier that never tires"....

Scientists think they know what cracked the giant bone.
Near the center of the Milky Way, there is a huge amount of radio energy that sometimes looks like bones, and one in particular has astronomer playing ortho paedists. The new picture at the top of the story reminds you of an X-ray. Scientists used a space telescope to look at a broken bone. The images from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, along with data from the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa and the National Science Foundation's Very Large Array, have revealed what likely caused it to crack. A fast-spinning neutron star, known as a pulsar, could be the culprit. Scientists think that the object slammed through the bone and kept going as it whizzed through the galaxy. The bone's magnetic field was distorted by the collision. NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory helped scientists study The Snake, a source of radio energy near the center of the Milky Way....

The largest attendance for a live sporting event in America is for Race 12 at Churchill Downs on May 3. Horse racing stirs something deep in us.

The horses were bred more successfully in human care. People planted crops, settled the far corners of the world and carved out epic moments of human history with horses.

Note: As we venture into the realm of alternative media reporting, it is essential to acknowledge that not all sources are created equal. While some outlets offer crucial counter-narratives and insights, others pose a significant risk of misinformation, perpetuating controlled opposition or serving as wolves in sheep's clothing, intent on misleading their audience with agendas designed to confuse rather than inform.

A Swedish mother was convicted of harassment for cracking an egg on her daughter.
A mother from Sweden says that following every bizarre trend on TikTok without thinking first is not recommended. She thought cracking an egg on her five-year-old daughter's forehead would be funny, but the district court disagreed and convicted her of harassment. The young mother started a livestream on her social media while she and her daughter were sitting at the kitchen table baking apple pie. Suddenly, the mother picked up an egg and cracked it against her daughter's forehead, causing the yolk to run down her face. The daughter asked her mother to stop laughing. The clip gained around 100,000 views when the account was public. The woman's actions were found to be illegal by the district court after an anonymous tip. I thought when I watched the video that you don't do that to a child....
