A study of sixty-two mammalian species found that animals around the world have shifted into more nocturnal lives. “Humans are now this ubiquitous, terrifying force on the planet,” said lead author Kaitlyn Gaynor, “and we are driving all the other mammals back into the night-time.” The Southeast Asian sun bear, formerly diurnal, now spends as much as 70 percent more time awake at night to avoid humans.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 425 & BENKYO RADIO 425.

Well, Christmas is upon us! Here’s my Present for all of you. As you may remember, in the video game GTA III (which has now been remastered), there was a radio station that had Drum & Bass, entitled “MSX FM.” I loved that radio station. Unfortunately, it only had about 25 minutes of Drum & Bass. Well, guess what, GT RADIO, my Drum & Bass podcast, is now at episode 267. With the super playlist, it has over 5000 songs or about 400 hours of Drum & Bass. Now you can go and enjoy some D&B wherever you go. Please remember to drive safely.

Here’s my usual PSA for Holidays, and that includes Christmas. Please drive safely. Please always wear a seatbelt. Please drink a 0.0% alcoholic beer if you’re a designated driver.

A Merry Christmas to all of you around the world that are celebrating, especially those in the Palestinian Territories, who have been victimized and oppressed for over 73 years by Israel. Will the United Nations finally sanction Israel? Well, “nearly two-thirds of The Washington Post recent survey group think the Israeli-Palestinian situation is akin to apartheid.” We can be hopeful that Netanyahu finally faces jail time for his corruption and war crimes. At the very least, he is no longer Prime Minister, even though his successor is quite worse.
