The evidence for biosignatures on K2-18b is flimsy, at best
Absolutely terrible article. Snarky, seemingly deliberately misrepresentative in places. I think there are interesting points about statistical tests to be made here, but honestly would it have hurt to be a little modest or respectful (or frankly accurate)?
Some say that high jinks is used within the United States, while hijinks is found outside.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Solzhenitsyn also believed that absolute monarchies were good, Putin was good, and the Holodomor was a "loopy fable". He won the Noble prize for literature, not history. Perhaps pick a better source. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2008/aug/04/solzhenitsyn.russia

Some stats would help here. Would the author also argue that they should be stripped of their lands, the profits for which currently go to the government. If so, would they argue the same for all billionaires. Perhaps a good idea, but I don't see why the royals should be singled out.
The monarchy rests on a lie, the UK needs an elected head of state
A slightly odd article for Declassified, being an opinion rather than fact piece.
This breaks your secure encrypted connection to their onion address, enabling your identification.

From Yes Minister:
James Hacker: [reads memo] This file contains the complete set of papers, except for a number of secret documents, a few others which are part of still active files, some correspondence lost in the floods of 1967...
James Hacker: Was 1967 a particularly bad winter?
Sir Humphrey Appleby: No, a marvellous winter. We lost no end of embarrassing files.
