PG—What if one of the most basic comforts in your life, a bed, is actually one of the newest luxuries in human history? In this episode we dive into the brutal, bizarre, and shockingly recent history of sleep, from ancient mattresses and medieval rope beds to Victorian London’s terrifying “two penny hangover” and coffin beds. This is a dark journey through poverty, labor, survival, and the forgotten people who helped shape the modern world.

MW—We do know that Iran has downed multiple drones in recent days, and what we don’t know may be even more concerning—tracking of manned air platforms, the ones that deliver stand off munitions. Presumably at least some of Iran’s seemingly enhanced capabilities are also due to Russo-Chinese support. This makes complete sense. And even the Israelis recognize that Iran holds the real high cards.

TGZ—The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate discuss the Trump administration’s indictment of Raul Castro and explain how it serves as a bogus legal pretext for military invading Cuba and replacing its government.

GOTO—Every year, thousands of shipping containers disappear into the ocean. Most people assume they simply sink and vanish forever. But the truth is far more dangerous — and far more mysterious — than it seems. In this video, we explore what really happens when shipping containers fall overboard. From massive storms and collapsing stacks, to containers that float for months, drift across entire oceans, and even wash up on remote beaches. Some become artificial reefs deep below the surface. Others turn into invisible hazards, colliding with ships and threatening marine life.

And we say to the honorable Palestinian people: The time has come to reclaim your land. Our fire is at your service. The departure of settlers from the occupied territories may be a prelude to your return to it. Immediate evacuation order…
