The Hodge Conjecture Rumor: OpenAI, a Viral Tweet, and the Math World’s Quiet Fury
Around September 9, 2026, a post on X began to be shared repeatedly. The user synthwavedd wrote that the Hodge conjecture “is very close to being verified by OpenAI,” and said that either OpenAI or Anthropic was also close to solving the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. He added that the intensity of the behind-the-scenes race for “the next one” was unlike anything he had ever heard described.

Memory Is a Mirage: The Past You Remember Is a Story Your Present Rewrites
At 3 a.m. I searched "Mandela effect." The phone screen lit the half-empty packet of stomach medicine on my desk. I remembered Mandela dying in prison. A television news report. Black and white. Someone crying. Then I found out he became president of South Africa in 1994 and died in 2013. I typed "parallel universe" into the search bar. Then I deleted it.

Pareidolia or a serpent hidden in plain sight?
In the first part of this investigation into the ominous hints of an impending takeover by a New World Order manifested in the unusual imagery at the United Nations’ Security Council Chamber, Denver Airport, on a Google-esque wallpaper download as well as inside the Hall of the Pontifical Audiences, I pointed out the serpentine symbolism in architect Pier Luigi Nervi’s Vatican auditorium... but the question many readers will probably be wondering is: “So what?”

Freaky frescos from the Vatican to demonic Denver Airport
Okay so I’ve used the term “fresco” a little loosely in the headline above when I’m really referring to “artwork” which would probably have served just as well... guess I’m just a sucker for alliteration though.

The Prism Effect
Most of us, upon learning that the skies and oceans are blue, hear the myth that “one is blue because it reflects the other.” This is simply not true.

From Baghdad to return of the Gilgamesh Dream Tablet
Widely considered as the worst acts of cultural vandalism since World War II, the looting following the United States’ incursions into Iraq beginning in the 1990s has seen the disappearance of thousands of priceless artefacts from the National Museum in Baghdad... many have since found their way back to the Iraqi capital but far more have been lost to a lucrative black market in historical relics where provenance is a particularly dirty word.

A giant conundrum that crosses the continents
The previous part of this investigation into the tall tales buried by the Smithsonian concluded with accounts of pilgrims travelling from the orient to pay homage to the “Child Of The Sun” in a cave in the Grand Canyon where G E Kinkaid had allegedly discovered an underground citadel in 1909, where giant mummies and ancient relics were found during a dig paid for by the institution and shipped back to Washington for study.

Kinkaid and the great Grand Canyon cover-up
Just 10 years after G E Kinkaid’s discovery of a huge complex cut out of the Grand Canyon rock in a cave located about 42 miles up the Colorado River from El Tovar Crystal Canyon, United States President Woodrow Wilson officially designated the area a national park, restricting access to vast areas of the geological wonder that would become one of continent's most popular tourist attractions.

How “Soft Gambling” Is Reaching Every Age Group
Gambling used to have a fairly obvious image: casinos, betting shops, poker tables and lottery tickets. Today, it can look very different. A spin of a digital wheel, a mystery prize in a video game, a sports-betting promotion during a match, or an app notification promising a “boost” can all introduce gambling-like experiences without looking like traditional gambling.
