"Joshua Paddison, a US historian, author, and bona fide expert in the wild world of American cults, spiritualist communes, and utopian experiments. Josh spent years hunting down primary sources and unearthing the surprising connections between 19th-century scandal, religious innovation, and the birth of cult culture as we know it. His tale includes international intrigue, breathwork mystics, spiritual seekers, and even sex scandals that laid the groundwork for the culty headlines we see today. If you've ever wondered about the OG roots of groupthink, word salad, or how the term "cult" even came to exist."
"In a major move to ensure transparency and accountability, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has issued notices to 54 private universities across India for failing to share crucial institutional details as mandated under Section 13 of the UGC Act, 1956. These institutions did not upload the required information on their official websites or submit verified documents in the prescribed format despite repeated reminders.
In June 2024, the UGC directed all universities to make important institutional data publicly accessible on their websites. This included administrative information, accreditation details, and academic programs, aimed at maintaining transparency and aiding student decision-making. Universities were also required to submit verified copies of the data to the Commission for inspection.
However, several universities ignored these directives, prompting the UGC to officially categorize them as defaulters. The commission emphasized that such non-compliance affects public trust and violates governance norms expected of higher education institutions."

"Federal prosecutors on Monday charged a 19-year-old California man linked to the extremist "764" cult with a string of crimes, including child sexual exploitation, animal abuse, and online threats.
A federal grand jury in the Eastern District of California indicted Tony Christopher Long on six felony counts, including sexual exploitation of a minor, possession of child sexual abuse material, cyberstalking, and transmitting interstate threats, according to the press release. Long remains in state custody on related charges.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said Long's alleged crimes highlight the brutality of the "764" movement.
"This defendant allegedly engaged in acts of extreme cruelty by exploiting a child, abusing animals, and threatening violence — his conduct reflects the depravity of '764,'" Bondi said. 'These networks seek to terrorize and destabilize our communities by preying on the most vulnerable, and the Justice Department will stop at nothing to dismantle this network and bring offenders to justice.'"
