I was just idly looking at the casualty numbers the other day, and I noticed that there was something badly wrong with them. This will take a little time and a few stats, but it’s worth staying with it.

Eight years ago, on my first day living in Latsia, I lost my credit card!I didn’t know I’d lost it – I’d been scoping my local kiosk, dropped it outside, and driven off in total ignorance. Not five minutes later, as I was pulling into my driveway, I got a call.

I hauled open the car door and breathed a sigh of relief once inside. I was surrounded by millions of flies, amid the most incredible migration event I have ever seen. The migration cameras my team and I use to monitor these insects counted nearly 6,000 flies per metre per minute.

An odd coincidence took place last week. First came the controversy around a government bill on the right to protest – the proposed ‘Public Gatherings and Parades Law of 2025’, essentially seeking to turn protests into a completely regulated activity. The proposed bill provides that organisers must inform the police of any protest or gathering involving more than 20 people at least seven days in advance, giving a start and end time, a precise route, the purpose of the protest, and so on.

However, as 2025 approaches, a new challenger, MUTM stands as a platform that is rapidly capturing attention among top XRP holders and it creates anxiety in this group.
