Maybe this is a dumb baby question but, How do you know if a spell works? I’m investigating different practices and all the spells are like… focus, luck, etc, like things that are supposed to either influence my interior state or encourage certain events to occur. But I can’t help but think that if magic was “real” it could do things that are obvious or immediately observable. Have you ever done anything you think was undeniably magic? How did you know?

Not a dumb baby question.

It works if it works! And you can test this.

Broadly speaking we can divide all practical sorcery into two categories: verifiable and unverifiable.

It's really hard to know if an unverifiable spell works. E.g., a spell for focus could often be explainable by the placebo effect. (Or, this lovely Guardian Animal Shielding exercise, which is a fun and relaxing thing to do).

But a verifiable spell is something that you should be able to test and see if your magic did or didn't work.

A good way to find sources of verifiable magic in your life is to observe relatively stable patterns in your own life which have been going on for months, and then cast a spell to directly change it.

An example might be always getting a bad parking spot at work - and then trying to get a very good parking spot.

Either you get to work and have a great place to park even though the whole lot is normally full, or you don't. The spell worked, or it didn't.

Yes, I've worked magic that is obvious and immediately observable. I've worked so much of it and some of it is so miraculous that I don't talk about it publicly because practitioners have a lot of hangups about what kind of magic they think is allowed to exist.

But more importantly I think that while wanting magic to be real, and sorcery to work, are very valid, just chasing that realness alone is probably going to lead you to a path of misery. Here are some of my thoughts on this: On witchcraft as spirituality

Here are some random stories:

At one time there were many arguments in the household due to home renovations (stressful!). I cast a spell to cause one person in the household to be more mindful of the situation. I cast the spell and stepped outside of my practice space. That person was, surprisingly, in the yard and started asking me questions about the exact issue I had just cast on. We ended up having a very long conversation and after that the arguments stopped.

Some years ago the neighbor was causing horrible ruckus and giving my partner awful anxiety, as he could clearly hear it through the old, thin window. I found a bit of thread and "tied up" the neighbor's loud sounds into a knot, and weighted it down with a rock on the windowsill. At this time I wasn't living with my partner, so I came back some weeks later to see the knot. I thought I'd get rid of it, but when I moved the rock my partner stopped me.

"You know what's strange? After you put that there, the neighbor stopped being loud."

I looked at the disrupted rock, which was to "weigh down" the spell, and immediately the neighbor started yelling. I put the rock back, and about 30 minutes later he piped down again and stayed quiet.

Years later, after many calls to the police from many people in the neighborhood with no traction at all, I used the Justice tarot card in a spell and that neighbor was permanently removed from the home within a couple of weeks.

At one time, I was trying to do a distance energy reading for someone. But something was wrong; I couldn't see clearly. In fact it looked like they were consumed by a black void... then presently a lighter blue color was around the blackness, then white, then dark blue. It was no energy I was familiar with and I double-checked with the person that they had no magical protections to stop me from Seeing them.

"Oh, the only ward I didn't take down was my nazar." 🧿🧿🧿🧿

I have Very Silly Tendons, and in the morning I usually have a painful limp for several minutes until my foot stretches out. That is, of course, unless I remember to do a very simple energy exercise the night before. Then my foot is as loose and supple as a bowl of buttered noodles.

Once, I cast a spell using the planetary energies of Mercury in order to secure a good deal on a used van. I put in very specific requirements, and asked that if I tried to buy a van that didn't meet these requirements, that the elementals would stop me and not let the deal go through. Immediately after I cast the spell I found a van which was disqualified from the list, but I reallllly wanted it. I contacted the Craiglist seller, who didn't respond for a couple of days, but the listing stayed up.

The next morning my friend contacts me. She says she had a dream that yellow tornadoes came and told her to give me a message; that I was making a mistake.

Well if you know Mercury, then you know yellow airy energies are really his thing.

I immediately set up the spell again, retracted my requests, and apologized for going against what I said I wanted.

The seller contacted me within the hour, and I got the van.

Series Masterlist My Masterlist

Were you supposed to look him in the eye now?

You’d fallen into a deep sleep almost immediately after that earth-shattering orgasm and woken on the ground by yourself, a pack under your head for a pillow while he sat a few feet away and watched the wasteland. He hadn’t commented on the events of the night before, just given you a sly grin and asked you to put on something for breakfast since you’d slept through your watch.

Never mind he didn’t wake you for it.

You finally seem to be heading north, towards the mountains. You have a vague memory of traveling through here before.

“Do you think it’s better to try to find the old road or just head up?”

He’s walking a few feet ahead of you and doesn’t stop when he answers. “Lotta raiders on the roads, we’ll be better off cross-country.”

That made sense. It was a perfectly normal thing to say. Just two people walking companionably together.

It was going to drive you bonkers.

“Hey Cowboy,” you shout, taking a few running steps to catch up with him. He turns as you fall into step, his blank look almost making you falter. But you steel yourself and give him a winning smile. “Do we need to talk? Or not talk, maybe, but acknowledge? What happened?”

“You mean when I had my fingers in your cunt?”

Well, okay, that was one way of putting it.

“Don’t figure there’s much to talk about. You liked it?”

“Yes,” you say quickly.

“Wanna do it again?”

“Now?”

Your spluttering question puts a grin on his face and he makes a show of looking around. You’re in what used to be some sort of rest stop, several different buildings still mostly standing.

“Well, I wasn’t thinking right this minute but a fella could be convinced-”

A roar rends the air between you and you both freeze. You wait for him to verify what you really hope isn’t true.

“Deathclaw.”

Your heart drops. Scanning the horizon you try to pick out what he is seeing. “I thought they were further east than this?”

“You wanna be the one to tell him he needs to go home?”

They’re a rumble, almost like thunder, shaking you to your core. “Is that it?”

He’s got your arm in one hand, dragging you towards a run down building. There’s no door, and the interior is half filled with dirt. “Inside.”

“Inside what?”

The Cowboy gestures towards the ground, at a hole you had barely noticed. With his other hand he unslings his rifle, checking the chamber with a practiced flip. The hole itself is not big, large enough to crawl into on your hands and knees and extending back God only knew how far.

“What if something is in there?”

“You can lose a toe to a rad roach or your head to a deathclaw, sweetheart. I know which I would pick.”

He’s posted at the door, squinting off into the distance and you suddenly realize he intends for you to go in there alone.

“What are you going to do?”

“Hold it off,” he shrugs, “try to lead it away.”

“Can it smell us?”

“What?”

You grab his arm, pulling him into the house with you, “Can it smell us?”

“No, but it can see your ass just fine so-”

“Feet first,” you shove him at the hole. He glares but does so, sliding in without comment until you can’t see him any longer. His hat sits dejectedly by the entrance and you try to decide if you can pick it up when an earth-shattering roar splits the air. 

Well, nothing seems to have bitten him. 

You throw him your pack and then slide in feet first next to him, pushing with your hands against the fallen rocks and dirt. He reaches out a hand to help and between you you manage to shimmy down a few feet - maybe four in total from the entrance to the top of your head.

It’s not so tight you can’t move, can’t put a little space between you, but it’s difficult. You feel the arms he’s laying on move, a hand coming up to cover the shoulder dug into the dirt, and then he’s shifting you both until you’re lying beneath him.

“Both hands free now,” he grunts, pulling his pistol from its holster and laying it just past your head. Sure, he can see now but all you can see is his chest and dark concrete. He’s crouched over you, shifting upwards so his elbows are by your head, his knees on each side of your hips. You both stay silent as the ground shakes.

Shit, what if this hidey-hole collapses?

Another roar and you clutch at him out of instinct, burying your face into his chest. How close is it? Can it reach you? You try to slip further down but your feet hit more rock. 

Well, at least there’s nothing living in here.

Another roar, this time maybe slightly farther away. The Cowboy lets out a breath and shifts down so he can look you in the eye.

“I think it might have seen us, sounds like it’s hunting.”

His voice is barely over a whisper and you answer in the same low tone. “How long will it look?”

“Hour? Maybe two? Depends on if something else grabs his attention.” He glances down and seems to suddenly realize the position you’re in. A slow grin moves over his face and he shifts one foot between yours, kicking your legs apart and settling his hips down until they’re flush to yours.

“Seems like we might have a fair bit of time to pass.”

Your eyes widen in shock even as he pushes his half-hard cock against you. He looks pleased as punch about the fact. “You can’t mean to-”

“I do, and I will - unless you’re about to tell me no. That what’s on your mind, sweetheart?”

You consider it for only a moment before shaking your head. “No. I mean… yes.”

He tilts his head and licks his lips. “Well that’s about clear as mud.”

“I want you,” you finally settle on, getting a warm feeling when he gives you a genuine smile in return.

“No kissing, right?” he confirms, fingers playing with the strap of your dress. You nod silently, too afraid of what will happen now if you try to speak. It’s enough for him, slipping his hand beneath the fabric and twisting it down until it’s shoved under your breast.

“Well ain’t that a sight.”

His mouth feels like a brand, lips hot with a dry, almost raspy tongue laving against your skin. You should stop this, should tell him this isn’t right. It wasn’t right last night either but you didn’t care then and you can’t make yourself care now. It feels amazing and when he pulls your nipple between his lips there’s no thought left but how good he’s making you feel.

You groan, fingers digging into the rough skin on the back of his neck. He bites down, maybe a little too hard, and you nearly arch the both of you into the ceiling. 

“Thata girl,” he mumbles, fingers working at the other side of your dress until he’s got it pulled down too. You help as best you can, shimmying the straps down and then letting him push it to your waist. He rubs his face against you for a moment, pressing your breasts to his cheeks before turning and sucking your other nipple between his lips.

It’s too much and a harsh cry leaves you before you can stop it. There is an answering bellow from the deathclaw a half second later and suddenly a hand clamps over your mouth. The leather smells of blood and bile and you recoil.

“Shh, sweetheart,” he whispers, “if you can’t be quiet we’re going to have to stop.” One knee pressed at yours, pushing them further apart so he can hitch your thigh up on his hip. “And that sure would be waste of all this here attraction.”

You jerk at his hand, pulling it from your mouth then yank at the fingers of the glove. He understands immediately, using his teeth to pull first one, then the other off.  Staring directly into your eyes he covers your mouth with one palm, fingers digging into your cheek.

“Quiet as a church mouse,” he warns before ducking back down and nibbling at your breast. His other hand is on your thigh, pushing the skirt of the dress up slow enough you can tell he’s waiting for you to stop him.

You don’t, spreading your legs wider instead and shifting so he can cup his hand over your panties. It’s his turn to groan, albeit quieter than you had, fingers jerking at the cotton and twisting so he can slip against you.

“Ah, darlin’, you’re fucking soaked.” His accent is coming thicker somehow, laying over you like a blanket. His fingers toy between your thighs before pushing further, flicking over your clit.

It’s a good thing he’s got a hand over your mouth because you can’t hold back the noise you make. Suddenly he’s gone and you want to protest. You’ll beg, you’ll promise him anything, just…

He’s jerking at his belt and in your befuddled state it takes a minute to realize what he’s doing. But then you’re there with him, unzipping his pants and pushing them down far enough that his cock can spring free. It’s even hotter than the rest of him, enough to make you wonder if he’ll burn as you take him into your hand. He thrusts into your palm before knocking it away, guiding himself towards your center.

You try to brace yourself, try to relax into what you know is coming. But you can’t help the small muffled cry, or the way your eyes widen when he shoves himself into you. Your body goes rigid and his eyes meet yours, rounded with shock.

“Oh darlin’,” he mutters, his grip on your jaw relaxing slightly. He’s wide, almost impossibly so, even barely inside you can feel the stretch. “You sure about this?”

You nod, gripping his waist and trying to adjust your legs to take him easier. He watches you this time, easing forward in short movements a quarter inch at a time. Your slick eases the way and he finally seats himself, hips flush to yours.

It’s like nothing you’ve ever felt before, every twitch of him hard and hot inside of you. It’s scorching, almost uncomfortably so, but you can’t get enough. Soon the pain fades and you clutch your knees to his hips, arching your back to take him deeper. He growls when you do, tilting his head to bite against your neck.

It’s not gentle, not slow and rocking like you imagined it might be. No, it’s one hand over your mouth while he fucks you into the floor. You can feel his panting breath against your skin, hear the scrape of his knees on stone, smell the lingering scent of the chem he takes.

He arches over you, stilling suddenly and you feel a surge of disappointment. You knew it was likely this was how it would go - every bit of your education had been centered around your partner’s pleasure. Yet after last night you can’t help but feel like you’ve missed out, that this could have been so much better. He’d taken his time then, had seemed to enjoy getting you off.

“Not a peep,” he says lowly, eyes fixed somewhere over your head. You listen, so caught up in what was happening you had entirely missed the shuffling footsteps not ten feet away. Whatever it was was heavy, the ground rumbling beneath you.

Not thinking twice, you arch your back so you can tilt your head, trying to see what is happening. The movement causes the Cowboy to slip deeper inside of you and he hisses. The hand on your mouth goes to your throat, almost slamming you back to the floor and holding you there while he glares down at you. 

He hadn’t finished after all.

The warning look is all you get before he begins to move again - the new angle punching something delicious inside of you. It’s too slow, not enough to come, but you can feel it building even as the monster in the room roars. He fucks you like that until the deathclaw leaves - slow, almost angry thrusts that make your entire body rock. By the time he speeds up you can feel tears at the corners of your eyes, your hands clawing against his back.

“Please,” you whisper, eyes pleading, “please.”

He glances over your head then leans down, lips next to your ear. “You wanna come for me, darlin’? Squeeze that little pussy around my cock til I fill you up?” He snarls at the last word, shaking his head slightly and adjusting just a fraction.

It’s enough, you come with a strangled cry that he cuts off with a fist around your throat. It’s like nothing you’ve ever experienced, the edges of your vision going black as your body shudders beneath his. You hear him curse, feel him move, and then he splashes across your stomach and thighs.

It takes a moment for his grip to loosen, for him to let you take a gasping gulp of air and blink up at him with wide eyes. He looks just as dumbstruck, his lips parted and you can see his pink tongue run along his lower teeth. He leans down slowly, his eyes dropping to your lips…

You turn away.

"I thought prostitution was the oldest profession in the world."

ANM-566 - "God of War"

Danger Level: Helper 🔵 | Uncontained ❌️

Responsible Researcher: The Eleven Counselors

Type of Anomaly: Humanoid, political, historical

Type of Damage: Military, global, manipulative

Confinement: ANM-566-US is to be housed in a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-██. The cell is to be furnished with amenities resembling those of a 1980s-era office, including a replica of the Oval Office desk and décor. ANM-566 has shown cooperative behavior, and thus is allowed supervised recreational activities, including access to classic American films, 1980s news archives, and board games.

Two armed guards must be stationed outside ANM-566 containment cell at all times, with a third guard monitoring the interior via camera feed. Interaction with ANM-566 is to be conducted with caution; any discussions about political matters or current military conflicts must be avoided to prevent unintended activation of its anomalous effects. If ANM-566 begins to discuss or joke about instigating conflict, staff should redirect the conversation to safe topics, such as classic movies or jelly beans (a favorite of ANM-566).

Description: ANM-566-US is an anomalous entity that visually resembles former U.S. President Ronald Reagan, appearing as he did in the early 1980s. ANM-566 speaks with a distinctive tone and mannerisms that closely match those of Reagan during his time in office. The entity is capable of making humorous quips and jokes, often about politics, war, or the 1980s. Despite these traits, ANM-566-US exhibits a surprisingly deep understanding of modern geopolitical issues, suggesting an awareness beyond that of its physical appearance.

ANM-566 primary anomalous ability manifests when it discusses, suggests, or jokes about instigating military conflicts or escalating existing disputes. These comments, regardless of how offhand or humorous they may seem, have a statistically significant correlation with the outbreak of war or significant escalation in tensions within a week of the comment. The severity and location of the conflict appear to be influenced by the specifics of ANM-566 statements. For example:

Incident 566-01: On ██/██/20██, during a conversation with Dr. ██████, Ronald remarked, "You know, if I were in charge today, I'd probably just send a little fleet to remind the South China Sea who's boss." Within three days, tensions between the U.S. and China escalated, leading to a series of naval encounters in the South China Sea.

Incident 566-05: During an interview with Researcher ██████, ANM-566 joked, "Well, if they won't listen, I guess we could always dust off those old nukes and give the Cold War a reboot." Within four days, an international dispute over nuclear arms control agreements flared up, leading to several countries announcing intentions to expand their nuclear arsenals.

ANM-566-US ability does not appear to require direct interaction with political leaders or access to communications technology. The entity's statements alone seem sufficient to influence events, suggesting that its anomalous properties are not constrained by traditional cause-and-effect mechanisms.

Addendum 566-A: Psychological Evaluation

ANM-566 exhibits a humorous and charismatic personality, frequently making jokes and telling stories about "his" time as President of the United States. It seems to possess a genuine fondness for humor and nostalgia, particularly for the 1980s era. Despite this, there is evidence that ANM-566-US may be aware of its anomalous properties, as it occasionally makes self-referential remarks about "stirring up trouble" or "making history."

When asked directly about its ability to influence conflicts, ANM-566 typically deflects with humor. In one instance, when questioned by Dr. █████ about whether it had any control over its anomalous properties, ANM-566 replied, "Control? Well, I always said, 'Trust, but verify.' But I suppose it's more of a 'joke, but escalate' situation with me."

Addendum 566-B: Excerpt Interview Log 566-13

Interview conducted by Dr. ███████

> Dr. ███████: Good morning, Mr. Ronald Reagan. How are you today?

> ANM-566: Oh, I'm just dandy, doc! You know, I've been thinking about starting a new war. I've got my eye on… oh, what’s the country of the month?

> Dr. ███████: That’s precisely why I wanted to speak with you. We’ve noticed a pattern where your jokes about international conflicts seem to… well, come true.

> ANM-566: (Chuckles) You're giving me too much credit, doc. I just like to stir the pot a bit, keep things interesting. Back in my day, we didn't start wars. We just gave them a little nudge.

> Dr. ███████: It’s more than just a nudge, Reagan. Is there any way you can—

> ANM-566: (Interrupts) Oh come now, don't be such a stick-in-the-mud. You gotta have some fun with these things. Besides, what's the harm in a little saber-rattling? Keeps everybody on their toes.

Note: Following this interview, ANM-566 containment procedures were revised to limit topics of conversation. Staff are advised to avoid any mention of current international conflicts or military operations.

Addendum 566-C: Discovery

ANM-566 was discovered following a string of unusual geopolitical events in early 20██, which analysts traced back to comments made during a previously unknown radio broadcast originating from a decommissioned military bunker in ██████, California. The broadcast consisted of ANM-566 voice discussing hypothetical military scenarios, each of which subsequently unfolded within days.

Institute MOTHRA agents located ANM-566 at the bunker, where it appeared to be hosting a radio show. The equipment was outdated and non-functional by conventional standards, yet ANM-566-US seemed to broadcast effortlessly. When confronted, ANM-566 greeted the agents with, "Well, looks like my ratings finally caught up to me. Do I get a bigger studio, or is this the part where you folks take me to your secret underground base?"

Addendum 566-D: Experiment Logs

To better understand the limits and mechanics of ANM-566 abilities, controlled tests were conducted where ANM-566 was asked to comment on fictional geopolitical scenarios. In every case, conflicts did not manifest, suggesting ANM-566 abilities only affect real-world situations with pre-existing tensions.

Test 566-12: ANM-566 was asked to comment on a fictional country named "Norfalia" allegedly building nuclear weapons. ANM-566 quipped, "Well, if Norfalia wants to play with the big boys, they better have a big stick." No incidents were reported, and Norfalia does not exist.

Test 566-18: ANM-566 joked about "invading Atlantis," remarking, "Well, I always wanted a beachfront property." No anomalous effects occurred.

Test 566-21:

Objective: To determine whether ANM-566 influence extends to historical scenarios. ANM-566 was informed of a "newly discovered" conflict in ancient history involving the fictional "Kingdom of Phandalin," which was allegedly preparing to attack "the Empire of Zog."

Result: AMM-566 chuckled and said, "Well, if Phandalin wants to pick a fight with Zog, they better have a good battle plan. Maybe hire some mercenaries while they're at it." No historical evidence of any conflict involving Phandalin and Zog surfaced, suggesting that ANM-566 cannot retroactively affect history.

Test 566-23:

Objective: To test ANM-566 influence over hypothetical extraterrestrial conflicts. ANM-566 was asked what it would do if a fleet of alien ships approached Earth, claiming to be from the "Andromedan Federation."

Result: ANM-566 grinned and said, "Well, I'd just invite them over for a summit, then slip a few jelly beans into their fuel tanks to see what happens. Who knows, maybe they'd take a liking to Earth and declare a friendly invasion." No extraterrestrial contact occurred following the experiment, suggesting ANM-566 influence is limited to Earth-based events.

Test 566-25:

Objective: To understand the specific limits of ANM-566 war-inducing abilities by involving peaceful nations. ANM-566 was asked for its thoughts on "MOTHRA Peace Initiative," a fictional proposal aimed at convincing the countries of Norway and Switzerland to go to war over control of the world's best chocolate.

Result: ANM-566 laughed and said, "Well, that’s one sweet conflict. But let’s face it, even if Norway and Switzerland did go to war, the worst that would happen is a snowball fight." No evidence of heightened tensions appeared between Norway and Switzerland, indicating ANM-566 influence may require pre-existing political tensions.

Test 566-28:

Objective: To determine if ANM-566 can influence non-state actors. ANM-566 was asked about a fictitious terrorist organization called "The Purple Dragon Brigade" supposedly planning a major attack.

Result: ANM-566 leaned back and said, "Well, if these Purple Dragons want to cause trouble, I'd just send in a few knights to slay them. Problem solved." No incidents involving an organization with that name occurred, reinforcing the hypothesis that ANM-566 abilities are limited to influencing recognized nation-states or established factions.

Test 566-30:

Objective: To observe ANM-566 effects on the outcome of ongoing, low-intensity conflicts. ANM-566 was briefed on the situation in ████████, where minor skirmishes between local militias were occurring.

Result: ANM-566 remarked, "Ah, just some good old-fashioned neighborly disputes. If I were running the show, I'd tell them to settle it over a game of checkers. Or maybe thumb wrestling—much more civilized." Within two days, both militias unexpectedly agreed to a ceasefire for a "peaceful competition" involving various games, though the situation soon resumed its prior level of hostilities.

Test 566-32:

Objective: To test ANM-566 ability to influence entirely abstract or metaphorical "wars." ANM-566 was told about a "war on boredom" supposedly being fought by an international coalition of artists and philosophers.

Result: ANM-566 quipped, "Well, if they're waging a war on boredom, then I'm your secret weapon. Just give me a microphone and I'll talk about tax policy until everyone falls asleep." No significant cultural changes or mass outbreaks of boredom-related issues were reported. ANM-566 influence appears to be tied specifically to traditional concepts of war and conflict.

Incident 566-36:

During a routine examination of containment, ANM-566 spontaneously commented, "You know, the best way to get people to work together is to give them a common enemy. Or just send 'em all to a really long meeting. Either way, they’ll end up fighting someone." Within the following week, Site-██ experienced a series of escalating interdepartmental disputes over meeting schedules, resulting in multiple memos recommending an overhaul of site-wide communication procedures.

Conclusion: ANM-566 appears to have the ability to escalate or instigate real-world conflicts, but its anomalous effects do not extend to fictional or entirely peaceful situations.

Addendum 566-E: Humorous Anecdote Archive

The following are examples of ANM-566 humorous statements recorded during containment:

"You know, back when I was president, we didn't have these fancy smartphones. If we wanted to start a war, we had to do it the old-fashioned way—with a strongly worded telegram!"

"So, what do you call it when a president starts a conflict just for kicks? The Oval Ordeal, of course!"

"If I had a dollar for every war I could've started… well, I'd have enough to buy Greenland."

"You know, I was thinking of writing a book called 'War and Me,' but then I thought, why not just let history do the writing? Much less work."

"I once said, 'Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!' I didn't mean all the walls! Now everyone’s tearing things down, and I can't keep up. Who knew I was such a trendsetter?"

"You ever think about how much easier my job would’ve been if Twitter had existed in the '80s? I could’ve just tweeted, ‘Nuke 'em,’ and gone golfing."

"Back in my day, we didn’t need drones to bomb people from the sky; we had good old-fashioned bombers flown by people with a sense of adventure. Ah, those were the days."

"Someone asked me if I miss being president. I said, 'Only on the days when there's a big military parade. Or when there's leftover cake in the breakroom.'"

"You know, sometimes I like to think of myself as the world’s greatest improv comedian—except my punchlines start wars. That’s gotta be worth something, right?"

"I thought about starting a new Cold War, but then I remembered how much I hated shoveling snow in D.C."

"They call it the 'War on Terror,' but it seems like they’re fighting a losing battle if they still let me make suggestions, don't you think?"

Incident Report 566-F:

During a containment breach at Site-██, ANM-566 managed to access a MOTHRA intercom and broadcast a short monologue: "Folks, I’d like to announce my campaign for world peace. Just kidding, let's keep it interesting out there, shall we?" Within the following week, multiple minor border skirmishes occurred across three continents. ANM-566 was found in the Site cafeteria, eating a bowl of jelly beans, claiming, "I was just making sure everyone was still paying attention."

Notes:

ANM-566 humorous demeanor and self-awareness make it deceptively dangerous. While it does not appear to harbor malicious intent, its jokes can have significant consequences. Therefore, interactions with ANM-566 must be handled delicately to avoid unintentionally triggering global incidents.

BERLIN (AP) — Germany deported Afghan nationals to their homeland on Friday for the first time since August 2021 when the Taliban returned to power.

Government spokesperson Steffen Hebestreit described the 28 Afghan nationals as convicted criminals but did not clarify their offenses.

“The security interests of Germany clearly outweigh the claim for protection of criminals and individuals endangering national security,” Hebestreit said in a statement.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, speaking near Leipzig during a local election campaign event Friday, called it "a clear sign that those who commit crimes cannot count on us not deporting them, but that we will look for ways to do so.”

German news agency dpa reported, citing information from the federal states involved in the deportations, that the offenses included rape, serious arson and manslaughter.

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser called the move a security issue for Germany.

“You have seen that we have enforced the law and deported criminals back to Afghanistan," she said during a news conference Friday afternoon. "In my view, this is necessary to maintain trust in the rule of law.”

However, Julia Duchrow, secretary general of Amnesty International in Germany, blasted the deportations. In a statement Friday, she said the government bowed to political pressure during an election campaign. She added that Afghanistan is not safe and alleged that the deportations violate international law.

Berlin does not have diplomatic relations with the Taliban, requiring the government to work through other channels. It's unlikely that Friday's actions will lead to a wider thawing of relations between Germany and the Taliban, especially after last week's issuing of the first set of laws to prevent vice and promote virtue in Afghanistan. They include a requirement for a woman to conceal her face, body and voice outside the home.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has slammed the morality laws in posts on X.

While Hebestreit said the deportations have been in the works for months, they occurred a week after a deadly knife attack in the town of Solingen in which the suspect is a Syrian citizen who had applied for asylum in Germany.

The suspect was supposed to be deported to Bulgaria last year but reportedly disappeared for a time and avoided deportation. He was ordered to be held Sunday on suspicion of murder and membership of a terrorist organization pending further investigation and a possible indictment.

The Islamic State militant group claimed responsibility for last Friday’s attack, without providing evidence. The extremist group said on its news site that the attacker targeted Christians and that he carried out the assaults “to avenge Muslims in Palestine and everywhere.” The claim couldn’t be independently verified.

There has also been debate over immigration ahead of regional elections Sunday in the German states of Saxony and Thuringia, where anti-immigration parties such as the populist Alternative for Germany are expected to do well. In June, Scholz vowed that the country would start deporting criminals from Afghanistan and Syria again after a knife attack by an Afghan immigrant left one police officer dead and four more people wounded.

Faeser on Thursday announced a plan to tighten knife laws, according to German news agency dpa. Along with other officials in the governing coalition, she also pledged during a news conference to make deportations easier.

Key Components of the New Anti-Fraud Strategy 1. Identification: Raising Awareness Across Taiwan The Ministry of the Interior (MOI) will lead efforts to improve awareness of fraud by disseminating crucial information through multiple channels tailored to various demographics.

Additionally, the NCC is enhancing regulations regarding the misuse of prepaid SIM cards, especially for foreign nationals. 3. Prevention: Strengthening Digital Oversight The Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) will intensify efforts to prevent fraud across online platforms. Collaborating with industry giants such as Google, Meta, and Line, the ministry will ensure stricter advertisement placements and verify the identity of advertisers.

This includes tighter surveillance of financial institutions to prevent the creation of dummy accounts, and more rigorous checks on credit card transactions. New Measures: - Share information about unauthorized credit card charges. - Flag accounts suspected of being used in fraudulent schemes. 5. Punishment: Cracking Down on Fraudsters The Ministry of Justice (MOJ) will step up its efforts to confiscate the proceeds from fraud and ensure that victims receive compensation. Furthermore, the ministry will hold at least 500 international meetings annually to strengthen cross-border collaboration on tackling fraud.

A new home inspection is a critical step to ensure your investment is secure and meets your expectations. Here’s what you need to know about new home inspections in Werribee and what you can expect.

1. Why New Homes Still Need Inspections

Many buyers assume a new home is free of defects, but that’s not always the case. Even with modern construction methods, issues can arise due to:

Tight construction timelines

Human error

Use of substandard materials

Oversights in compliance with building codes

A professional inspection helps identify these problems early, saving you from unexpected repairs later.

2. Key Areas Covered in a New Home Inspection

During a new home inspection, professional inspectors evaluate all critical aspects of the property, including:

Structural Integrity

Inspectors check for foundational stability, walls free of cracks, and roofing issues to ensure the home’s structure is sound and durable.

Plumbing Systems

From faucets to drainage systems, inspectors look for leaks, clogs, or improperly installed pipes that could lead to costly water damage.

Electrical Systems

Faulty wiring is a common oversight in new homes. Inspectors ensure that outlets, circuit breakers, and fixtures are properly installed and meet safety standards.

Interior and Exterior Finishes

Inspectors review walls, floors, ceilings, windows, and doors for incomplete or poorly executed finishes.

Compliance with Building Codes

New homes in Werribee must adhere to local building regulations. Inspectors verify that your home complies with these codes, ensuring it’s both legal and safe.

Uneven floors or improperly aligned walls

Leaky roofs or gutters

Incomplete insulation

Gaps in window or door frames

Malfunctioning HVAC systems

Catching these problems early ensures they’re addressed before you move in.

5. When to Schedule Your Inspection

Ideally, a new home inspection should be scheduled:

Before Final Walkthrough: This gives builders time to fix any identified issues before you take possession of the property.

At Key Construction Stages: For off-the-plan purchases, inspections during construction milestones ensure quality at each phase.

Ilta-Sanomat carries material from a new book that suggests Russia used a shooting in Imatra to advance its propaganda goals.

The book is titled Valehtelua, vakoilua ja valtiollista vaikuttamista (Lies, espionage and state-backed influencing) and written by Jouni Mölsä and Markku Mantila.

Mölsä served as head of communications for President Sauli Niinistö, so had a front row seat in watching this unfold.

The 2016 shooting saw three women shot by a man in the eastern Finland town, not far from the Russian border.

Soon afterwards troll accounts on social media began posting false claims that the women had been Russian and the perpetrator had worked for Finland's Defence Forces.

Those false claims had to be debunked by Finnish officials, but were likely aimed at Russians inside and outside the country.

The authors ask whether the Imatra operation was part of attempts to persuade Russians that they were under attack outside Russia, offering them a reason to assist Russians outside the country with money and weapons.

Good advice?

Business daily Kauppalehti leads with a piece on ministerial advisors, focusing on their number and salaries.

The paper checks on Prime Minister Petteri Orpo's (NCP) claim that the preceding government led by Sanna Marin (SDP) had spent too much money on too many advisors.

KL finds that the Orpo administration has managed to reduce the numbers. It has a total of 58 advisors, including 47 special advisors and 11 state secretaries.

Marin's coalition government, on the other hand, had a total of 79 advisors composed of 65 special advisors and 14 state secretaries.

The state secretaries all get 10,971 euros per month with the exception of Orpo's right hand man Risto Artjoki, who receives 14,278 euros per month.

Special advisor salaries range from just under 5,000 euros per month to just under 9,000 euros per month.

Espoo's women's swimming sessions a hit

Helsingin Sanomat goes to a swimming pool in Espoo that has started to offer women-only sessions on Sundays.

The paper finds plenty of happy swimmers queueing up outside, with staff estimating that between 120 and 150 people turn up each week for the sessions.

They are the first sessions held by the municipality of Espoo, but there are sessions offered in the Helsinki suburb of Jakomäki and at Vantaa's Korso swimming hall.

HS interviewed swimmers who said the sessions were fun, and they would immediately sign up for swimming tuition if that were an option.

Some of the swimmers were of immigrant background, but HS also interviewed a white Finn who said she had not swum for ten years because she did not want to wear a swimsuit during the normal swimming sessions.

The current run of Sunday swimming for women is a trial running until the end of November. It could continue, with that decision to be made next month.

Finns Party aiming to reduce quota refugees from Muslim-majority countries

The Finns Party has proposed reducing the number of quota refugees accepted from Muslim-majority countries while increasing the intake from Christian-majority nations, according to newspaper Helsingin Sanomat.

According to sources, Mari Rantanen, the Interior Minister from the Finns Party, along with Lulu Ranne, who is currently acting while Rantanen is on leave, have directed officials to prepare next year’s quota to exclude refugees from countries like Afghanistan. Meanwhile, the quota would increase for countries such as Venezuela.

Interior Minister Ranne declined to comment on the matter to Yle and HS.

At present, Yle has not been able to independently verify the claims reported by HS. The final decision on next year’s refugee quotas is still pending.
