📱📁 — Al Seckel, in an email to Jeffrey Epstein in November 2010, discusses hacking and changing Epstein's Wikipedia profile, like removing the label "sex offender" and blocking the editors who made previous changes to the profile:
They have all sorts of protection around your "mug shot" picture on wiki, and so, we are hacking wiki now to remove it and replace it with the photo that you sent, which will have the headline:
Jeffrey Epstein, businessman, philanthropist.
BTW, we also took out you in the sex offender category, and removed the headline in beginning sentence from wiki that also stated "sex offender." And, now it just reads businessman, philanthropist.
We recorded the ip addresses of the people who were going in and changing our edits back, and actually hacked the site to block them back in. That's why the site has been stable. ;-)
America’s bees and beekeepers are losing a valuable ally just when they need its help most.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture plans to soon close the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, a 6,500-acre agricultural research station in Maryland that is home to the nation’s premier bee research and disease diagnosis hub, the Beltsville Bee Research Lab.
The closure comes at a critical moment for bees. In winter 2025, many beekeepers lost over half their operations as pesticide-resistant varroa mites spread, bringing deadly viruses. The losses have led to low honey production, and soaring fuel costs have made shipping bees cross-country for agricultural pollination increasingly expensive, further stressing the industry.
