So they found a 125,000 yr old Neanderthal fat rendering plant & I have thoughts.
Knowing that they loved saturated fat SO MUCH that they industrialized to get as much of it as humanly possible?

Somebody please show me a legit real world use for crypto outside of gambling and crime that isn't already served by some safer asset.
There’s a site called Pump.Fun where you can pump and dump crypto memecoins. A kid earned $50,000 doing so and angry people who bought only tor the price to crash doxxed him then harassed his family.
Clearly what we need here is less regulation.

Teen creates memecoin, dumps it, earns $50,000
Unsurprisingly, he and his family were doxed by angry traders.

New preprint up! We sequenced hundreds of samples from across one of Earth's oldest living organisms - the Pando aspen clone - to understand how mutations accumulate and spread in long-lived clonal organisms. Our results were…surprising. 1/30

If Alex Jones needs cash I would pay $20 to kick him in the crotch. I’d pay $50 to hit him three times with a bat. If he flinches it doesn’t count. Bet lots of other folks would line up, too

Just found this 2020 NYT obit for Charles Wetli, the guy who invented excited delirium. He claimed a series of deaths of black sex workers were caused by a condition unique to black women in which they just drop dead after mixing sex & cocaine.
They were actually murdered by a serial killer.

Charles Wetli, Medical Examiner for T.W.A. Flight 800 Crash, Dies at 76 (Published 2020)
Families blamed him for not identifying the victims fast enough, but in the end, he “put a name on every bit of human remains recovered.”

It's not terrible to regard every embryo as a person. It's no more terrible than a Jainism monk refraining from killing insects by sweeping their path. If you think you should have an extremely expanded circle of concern like that - fine. It just shouldn't be imposed on your fellow citizens.
'Extrauterine Children' Living in 'Cryogenic Nurseries'
It's not a @greatdismal.bsky.social plot. It's the GOP's plot to make anywhere a sperm can meet an egg a crime scene.

Is there a single US jurisdiction where the prolifers pivoted post-Dobbs to building out a life-sustaining infrastructure for the now-to-be-born? A single place where they shifted to focusing on providing services instead of revenge?
A GOP-sponsored bill in Oklahoma could create a state database of women who have had abortions
New Oklahoma bill could allow state to create database of women who had abortions
A bipartisan group of lawmakers expressed concerns that the bill could also ban some forms of birth control, such as IUDs.

1) It’s illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections.
2) One very strong incentive for them to comply is fear that detection will lead to removal.
3) Those who would have us think mass illegal voting goes on anyway bear the burden of proving that.
4) They haven’t done so.

Obsessing on gaffes is lazy journalism
We should be less concerned about minor things politicians do accidentally than major things they do on purpose.
