Altcoin season could be near: Why June can see a 2021-style rally
**Altcoin Season Could Be Near: Why June Can See a 2021-Style Rally** Numerous analysts and investors are beginning to speculate that an altcoin season may be just around the corner as the cryptocurrency market continues to show signs of recovery. The month of June, historically a favorable period for crypto rallies, is shaping up to potentially mirror the explosive growth seen in 2021. The stage may be set for altcoins to take the lead as Bitcoin's strength and dominance plateau. ### What Is the Season for Altcoins? Altcoin season, or "alt season," refers to a period when alternative cryptocurrencies—those other than Bitcoin—outperform the leading digital asset. During this phase, investors rotate capital from Bitcoin into smaller market cap assets in pursuit of higher gains. This is a time when tokens like Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and a number of smaller-cap projects saw huge returns in a short amount of time. Typically, altcoin seasons follow a strong Bitcoin rally as market participants look for the “next big thing.”

"Silent Wings Over Sirsa: Pakistan’s Phantom Strike"
The sky over northern India was moonless, quiet, and cloaked in deep velvet. At Sirsa Airbase, the heart of India’s western aerial defense, all was still. Hangars glowed faintly under perimeter lights, Sukhois and Mirages slept on runways, watched by sleepy ground crews.

100 Hours to Save America's Forecasts
Earlier this year, I heard shocking news - the desire to cut funding to climate and weather forecasting and studies in the United States. Even from the mere suggestion that this might occur, I knew it was going to be bad. Weather and Climate Scientists do the work of saving lives in America, telling us when a storm is coming and how soon. With hurricane season on the up-and-coming, I became painfully aware the lives of cutting funding and people from weather data centers and more would do.

Silence or Suffer: The True Face of Cancel Culture

Drowning in Data, Starving for Truth
We were promised a revolution. The internet, we were told, would democratize knowledge—bring the wisdom of the world to our fingertips and make us more intelligent, more informed, and more connected than any generation before. But something went wrong. Because despite living in the most information-rich era in human history, we're not more informed—we're more distracted, misled, and divided than ever before.
