Maybe it's my Autism Brain or whatever, but I don't really get why anyone who had access to this stuff wouldn't have splashed these horrific revelations literally everywhere the second you knew about them. Take these fuckers down.

What she said. Holy shit indeed.
Holy shit, and also, great blessings upon the family of the human recipient mentioned in the article for allowing their loved one with no remaining brain activity to be a test candidate to determine if their body would reject a treated kidney.
This is huge news!
UBC has developed an enzyme that can convert donor organs to type O, making them universal.
Normally a using organs of the wrong blood type causes the recipient's immune system to attack the organ, leading to failure.

Buy a couple of anime studios and make their first projects under me not big prestige things but all the season 2s of wonderful trash that I haven't gotten. This might also inadvertently keep @mothersbasement.bsky.social busy for the rest of his life.

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful
what would you buy to break the curse?

Glad to see this from RTÉ.
Eurovision was once a highlight of my year, but the organization has made clear it will happily politicize the event to support and normalize Israel's genocide. Deep respect to Ireland and Slovenia for taking the lead and refusing to be part of that.
