Piddington residents overwhelmingly backed a symbolic break from Britain after officials proposed housing up to 1,200 asylum seekers beside the tiny Oxfordshire village. Residents voted 285-26 for secession in the non-binding referendum, with results announced Wednesday. Breitbart reported that 312 ballots were cast and the vote carried no legal force. The government wants to turn a former Ministry of Defense base near Piddington into housing for male asylum seekers. The proposal would place up to 1,200 people beside a village with about 350 residents. The Oxfordshire village sits roughly half a mile from the former Bicester base and about 50 miles northwest of London. That makes the proposed center more than three times larger than…Open

An Ohio Sunoco did not charge $9.99 for regular gas; an employee said the unusual display appeared because the station’s tank was empty. Photos posted Saturday showed the Gibsonburg station advertising regular gasoline at $9.99 and diesel at $6.89, Newsweek reported . A station employee offered a simpler explanation Sunday. The regular-gas tank was empty, the employee said, so the displayed figure was not an actual sale price. The images spread quickly after Ohio lawyer and political commentator Tom Renz posted them on X. Radio host Alex Jones shared the pictures, and the original post topped 770,000 views by Sunday. The distinction matters because fuel costs were already rising. AAA listed the national average at $4.48 Sunday, while…Open

NPR reported that the team used mice missing most of their cerebral cortexes, then filled much of that space with human cortical neurons grown in a laboratory.

Stanford researchers placed millions of lab-grown human neurons into mice, creating a disease model that also raises hard questions about consciousness and animal rights. NPR reported that the team used mice missing most of their cerebral cortexes, then filled much of that space with human cortical neurons grown in a laboratory. The goal was to study neurodegenerative disease and other brain conditions. But the researchers stopped when the human cells reached roughly six months of development, before possible signs of consciousness might emerge. Sergiu Pașca, a Stanford professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, served as the senior author. The team published its findings in the journal Nature. Pașca said scientists have spent…Open

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said after a phone call with President Trump on Sunday that the two will meet this week on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.
