First results from the SPOTS campaign reveal low average optical polarization (≲10%) and low magnetic field ordering (F_B ≲0.10) across 14 TeV blazars, with stochastic or rotating polarization angles and wavelength-dependent behavior indicating complex, turbulent jet structures.

Estimates based on 17 years of Fermi LAT data indicate COSI may detect MeV polarization in a small number of blazar flares, with flat-spectrum radio quasars as the top targets.
Review assessing HSP BL Lacs as UHECR and neutrino sources, noting strains from baryonic loading, heavy-nuclei preference in Auger data, and isotropy mismatch with beamed sources.
