The headline is the way in which Labour was destroyed in the local elections in the United Kingdom. But the real news is the ongoing demolition of the Conservative Party, which is being rightly rejected by Reform voters in response to its refusal to stop immigration and start repatriating the invaders.
The final results aren’t in yet, as only one-third of the local council elections have reported yet, but with the Tories below the LibDems and the ruling Labour Party trailing Reform, it’s very clear that the direction the two major parties have been dragging the UK since the Tony Blair years is very much an unpopular and antidemocratic one.
I will update this post when the final results are reported.
Since JDA is too frightened to discuss the incredible expose I’ve got on Gene Roddenberry and the occult tonight, I’ll be streaming a solo DARKHAVEN NIGHT tonight. And among other things, we’ll be discussing a) the origin story of your favorite Dark Lord and b) Larry Correia’s threatened foray into Romantasy, as covered by Fandom Pulse.
Why would he defend a smut genre when it has no place in a trade marketplace like Amazon? Selling well does not equate value, and Romantasy has objectively destroyed the fantasy genre, and pushed male readers out of bookstores, as Correia has noted in his complaint that he’s not #1.
One can tell it’s not about the values of what books have quality or anything, but simply about what sells with Correia, as he posits making his own romantasy series in a passive-aggressive response afterward. While it’s a funny idea, it’s likely one that wouldn’t go well for Correia if he did decide to write these.
#Bestselling Military Sci-Fi, Political Philosophy, and Genetic Sciences author Vox Day commented on whether this tack would work, “Anyone who’s ever read Larry’s books knows that he doesn’t know the first thing about the realities of male-female relations.”
It’s true that romantasy readers would not likely enjoy Larry Correia’s self-insert Gary Stu beta male character “getting the girl” over the slick alpha as he wrote in his Monster Hunter International series. If anything, they probably would be disappointed that the female character didn’t end up with the monsters he hunts.
Don’t get me wrong, I, personally, would very much love to see Larry Correia write a romantasy novel. I think it would be absolutely hilarious. I’m also confident that women would hate, hate, hate it with the passion of ten thousand sexy vampires staked out to burn to a crisp under a hot afternoon sun.
I mean, what woman doesn’t fantasize about a regular, competent nice guy who is too intimidated by female beauty to pursue women directly, but tries to gain their attention by showing how he is pure of heart and good at his job.
And remember, just like Covid vaccine, most of your friends and family are going to fall for this one. It’s going to be a lot more convincing, and a lot more “proven” than any of the Covid nonsense ever was. And the social and economic pressure to submit to it is going to be even harsher.
The Birth of a Unified Cosmic Spirituality
The convergence produces a religion with six defining features:
Universalism — all paths lead to the same cosmic source.
Evolutionary spirituality — humanity is ascending to a higher state.
Extraterrestrial cosmology — the universe is populated with guiding intelligences.
Technological mysticism — miracles are framed as advanced science.
Mandatory unity — religious exclusivity is dangerous.
Allegiance to the Beast — loyalty becomes a spiritual duty.
This is not secularism. This is hyper‑religion — mystical, cosmic, scientific, and compulsory.
It is the religion of the world.
The Continual: The One Faith That Cannot Be Absorbed
Every religion can be reframed as extraterrestrial.
Except one.
The Continual — the Christ‑only covenant witness — cannot be merged, reinterpreted, or absorbed. It is exclusive, covenantal, and rooted in the identity of the Messiah.
It stands outside the cosmic narrative. It refuses to bow to the universal myth. It cannot be rewritten.
Therefore:
it becomes the enemy of unity,
the threat to human evolution,
the obstacle to global harmony.
This is why it must be outlawed.
This is why the saints become the target.
This is why the Beast makes war.
The Continual is the stone the builders reject — again.
The Final Shape of the Global Religion
The convergence produces a system with:
One narrative — cosmic origins and cosmic destiny.
One interpreter — the False Prophet.
One embodiment — the Antichrist.
One unifying myth — humanity joining the cosmic family.
One forbidden belief — exclusive devotion to Christ.
This is the religion of the world.
This is the Empire That Never Ended, as Philip K. Dick described it. It survived the Romans, the Crusaders, the Conquistadors, and the Inquisitions. And the alien deception is going to be its next variant, perhaps even its final variant, although the history of failed apocalypses tends to testify otherwise.
Regardless, recognize it and reject it. In nomine Jesu.
Unlike the mainstream science orthodoxy, I don’t feel any need to avoid admitting when I got something fundamentally wrong, fixing the problem, and revising my conclusions. Which, of course, is why I’m working on the new appendices for the second edition of Probability Zero rather than trying to defend, rationalize, and justify the various mistakes I made in the first edition, which were mostly the result of relying upon the consensus numbers produced in 2005 rather than the 2025 update of them.
Claude Athos and I are now revising the Kimura’s Calculator paper from last week because our subsequent empirical work has identified a category error in how the selection-cost binding constraint was being used in it. The original paper presents the Calculator as a three-term framework in which the realized substitution rate equals the minimum of three serial constraints: the corrected input flux (Term 1), the polymorphism throughput ceiling (Term 2), and the selection-cost limit (Term 3). For sexual eukaryotes, Term 3 binds at approximately 10⁻¹², two to four orders of magnitude below Terms 1 and 2, which made it the headline result and drove the framework’s most dramatic predictions. The new validation work which uses Bergeron et al. (2023) on pedigree mutation rates and fossil-calibrated substitution rates for 55 vertebrate species exposed a fundamental problem that three-term construction.
The category error is this: Term 3 is derived from Haldane’s cost-of-substitution argument, which bounds the rate at which selection can drive adaptive fixations through a population given finite reproductive capacity. It is a constraint on selectively driven substitutions alone, not on total substitutions. The original Calculator paper treats Term 3 as a bound on total substitution rate and compares it against observed substitution rates from sequence divergence, but observed substitution rates include both neutral fixations (which are the great majority) and adaptive fixations (which are comparatively rare). Comparing Term 3 against total observed k is therefore comparing a bound on adaptive substitutions against a quantity that is mostly comprised of neutral substitutions. The two simply aren’t measuring the same thing. While the math of Term 3 is correct for the quantity to which it actually applies; my error was in interpreting its output as a constraint on total k. Once corrected, Term 3 still limits adaptive substitution rate at ~10⁻¹², but total substitution rate is only governed by Terms 1 and 2, which now falls in the 10⁻⁷ to 10⁻⁸ range that is consistent with the empirically observed rates.
The ramifications for our conclusions are significant but not catastrophic, and the revised picture is in some ways stronger than the original because it survives empirical scrutiny that the original would not. The textbook k = μ identity is still falsified — both directly (pedigree μ and phylogenetic k disagree by a median factor of 25 across 55 vertebrates) and structurally (the polymorphism throughput ceiling is exceeded by textbook μ for 95.4% of 173 animal species). The cancellation step in Kimura’s derivation still fails because N ≠ Nₑ in real populations, as Frankham cataloged thirty years ago. What has to be revised is the magnitude of the resulting recalibrations to molecular-clock divergence dates. The corrected framework predicts factor 10 corrections rather than factor 100,000 corrections, which still places significant divergences in substantially different time ranges than the textbook gives but doesn’t compress the entirety of evolutionary deep time the way the original Term 3 framing implied.
To put this in context, it means that the CHLCA event falls somewhere in the 250 kya to 1.3 Mya range rather than the 6.3 Mya presently assumed. But it cannot be as recent as the lower end of the 68 kya to 330 kya range that had orginally been calculated on the basis of the erroneous calculator.
The result of this retraction and revision is that the central critique of neutral theory survives and is now backed by two methodologically independent empirical tests rather than a theoretical framework with a contested parameter. Kimura’s identity is still wrong, the molecular clock as currently calibrated still overstates divergence times, and the Neo-Darwinian accounting of sequence evolution still rests on a Wright-Fisher idealization that doesn’t describe real populations. The fix is more conceptual than catastrophic and will require properly labeling what each constraint measures, accepting more modest recalibration magnitudes than Term 3 originally suggested, and grounding the falsification more solidly in the empirical evidence rather than theoretical derivation.
We did the best we could with what we had at the time of the original paper; the addition of the empirical data allows us to refine the framework and make the case stronger and more conclusive.
Werner von Braun warned of this nearly 80 years ago.
Influential pastors are claiming that they have been told to prepare their followers for shocking revelations about UFOs which may upend belief in the Bible.
Perry Stone, a well-known evangelist, author and Bible teacher from Tennessee, warned that fellow pastors were recently invited to a secret meeting with US intelligence officials to prepare for the release of secret files on extraterrestrials.
According to Stone, the officials warned a small group of pastors with a large reach in the Christian community that the government was about to release reports and possibly videos of aliens and spacecraft which were not from this planet.
In the April 27 video posted to his YouTube channel, the evangelist claimed that pastors were told about the existence of ‘reptilian’ creatures, UFOs and materials from a non-human origin and ‘other things that almost sound like something out of a sci-fi movie.’
On February 19, President Trump ordered the Pentagon and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to release all information the government possesses regarding UFOs and alien life. Last week, Trump said that the first files would be released ‘very, very soon’ and would contain some ‘very interesting’ things for the public.
You know it’s a psyop because they constantly talk about how this will somehow threaten the Christian faith. Which is absolutely absurd, given that Christianity literally requires the existence of beings from other dimensions interacting with humanity on the material plane.
The purpose of the revelation will be nefarious, of course, but what else is new on what is, after all, a fallen world. If they dislike the name of Jesus Christ, then it really doesn’t matter what they call themselves or where they say they’re from.
The Big Bear was interviewed about his new bestselling book by Fandom Pulse:
Owen Benjamin may be one of the funniest men alive. His comedy is so poignant that it seemed at one point nothing could stop his career trajectory. Some even allege that Dave Chappelle steals his jokes. However, like many who ran afoul of The Narrative, one day Benjamin was canceled and found his life forever changed. In recent years, he’s built an incredible community and focused on family in an inspirational journey that he’s partially laid out in his new book, How To Slay A Wizard, in context with his philosophy he’s been developing along the way. The book has become a #1 bestseller and keeps staying at the top of the charts with fans loving his first outing as an author, giving it a 4.8-star rating on Amazon.
You draw a sharp line between the wizard and the alchemist. Most people reading this will recognize wizards in politics and media, but where do people most often fail to recognize the wizard operating in their own personal relationships that causes them problems?
Yeah, I made that distinction because I think people who can do amazing things with transforming compounds or natural extracts can get lumped in with the wizards. Baking great bread is alchemy. It’s just applying heat and pressure to transform something. Wizards are always deceiving and manipulating people for their “transformations” to occur. That’s an important distinction. The sneaky hidden versus just the “if I boil this thing, it gets sweeter.”
Wizards typically start thinking they can separate their “craft” from their personal and home life, but it doesn’t work that way. If someone can intentionally misrepresent themselves, change the meaning of words, and induce destructive emotions in complete strangers for money, what’s stopping them from doing that to anyone?
A way to tell if someone is a wizard in your life is, a wizard just pays attention to how something is perceived versus what it actually is. They also never answer questions directly, and constantly diagnose others’ intentions and speculate on their emotions.
You argue that nonsensical rules produce more compliance than logical ones. That’s counterintuitive. Walk us through the psychology. Why does absurdity work better than coherent authority?
Because if a logical rule is followed, the target may be following the overall order and logic of the situation. He could be complying with the external and objective truth of a situation that will lead to success and production. When a target follows rules that clearly are counterintuitive, destructive, and constantly changing, that means they are following the will of the wizard. The more absurd, the clearer to the Wizard that he has created an obedient servant.
It all starts with “Simon says.” I was never good at that game I would respond that Simon should “go fuck himself.”

One more thing that should be mentioned. We didn’t have enough black cowhide for the entire print run, so there is about a one-in-six chance that you’ll be getting Dracula in black pigskin. Unfortunately, we’re not set up to deal with requests for one or the other material; the pictures on the Library stack are all of the cowhide or the goatskin.
I can’t believe they’re going to try to pull this off again. It should be educational to see how many people fall for it:
Donald Trump is on the verge of securing a sweeping peace deal with Iran that would lift US sanctions and unlock billions in frozen assets for Tehran. A one-page, 14-point memorandum of understanding is being negotiated between senior Iranian officials and Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The White House believes the memo could finalize a framework to end the war within 48 hours.
If signed, the memo would formally end the war and open a 30-day window for both countries to negotiate a larger agreement covering the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the lifting of all US sanctions on Iran, and new limits on its nuclear program.
The deal calls for Iran to halt all uranium enrichment for 12 to 15 years with automatic extensions if Tehran violates the terms.
Another key provision would have the regime remove its highly enriched uranium stockpile from the country though the memo does not specify a destination.
Trump has been at pains to avoid anything resembling the 2015 Obama deal he spent years trashing as the ‘worst deal ever.’ But the emerging framework echoes it in striking ways: sanctions lifted, frozen billions released, and Iran capped at the same 3.67 percent enrichment level agreed to by Obama.
Oil prices plunged on news of the proposed deal with Brent crude, the global benchmark, falling by more than 10 percent to below $100 per barrel. Stock futures tied to the Dow rose 1.1 percent, S&P 500 futures surged 0.9 percent, while Nasdaq futures climbed 1.6 percent.
I’m not saying it’s impossible. I’m just saying that if you look at the recent past, the closer the US supposedly is to a peace deal, the sooner it is the attack can be expected to take place. Also, for the record, since people are already trying to revise history and claim that this war the previous war was not fought on behalf of Israel.
Congressman Ted Lieu (D:CA): “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations — allegations — of Donald Trump raping children and threatening to kill children.”
I could not be less interested in anyone from the Trump administration or professional Republican circles complaining about Democratic Party liars or pointing to past false accusations. There is a very easy way to prove that these accusations are false: release the Epstein files and documents and videos and pictures in their entirety.
Anything short of that is a) unacceptable and b) suspicious. No amount of evasion and explanation and justification is going to make this go away. If I was accused of such crimes, I wouldn’t even hesitate to put everything out there and make it absolutely clear who was guilty of these things and who was not.
