  • Hell yeah

    I held my ground under a drunken barrage of old people’s useless anecdotes at my partner’s Christmas, when the go-to strategy was to ignore it. Everyone left the conversation happy so that’s progress lol.

  • GOP report recommends Liz Cheney be criminally investigated over Jan. 6 work

    Jump

  • This is bad because it’s an attempt to scare other conservatives to fall in line with the MAGA Nazi shit, and will probably work. It’s the same shit as the Nazi party in the Weimar Republic eating the conservatives who weren’t as right before assuming absolute power. Same playbook.

  • Israel approves plans to expand settlements in occupied Golan Heights

    Jump

  • Yeah this will definitely lead to peace in the Middle East. Israel big brained as always.

  • Trump Is About to Betray His Rural Supporters | Small-town America voted heavily in his favor—but the policies he’s pledged won’t reward that faith.

  • Deny, Defend, Depose: UnitedHealthcare CEO’s Slaying Highlights Widespread Rage at Healthcare Industry

    Jump

  • You’re assuming they’re rational actors. I can tell you, with experience, there are people who hate the healthcare insurance industry and are too propagandized / stupid to actually do the things needed to change it.

  • "We're gonna get this guy": Cops have 200 pics of Brian Thompson assassin as they give 5-word update

  • Your statement could be true, but the way you’re presenting it sounds like you’re just letting the oppressors win.

  • Guardian signs controversial deal to sell The Observer to Tortoise Media

    Jump

  • So what’s controversial about it? This Sky News / Comcast rag mentions it’s “enormously” controversial without stating the controversies.

    After reading about Tortoise media I’m kinda liking the slow news movement.

  • Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield wants to put time limits on anesthesia for surgeries

  • It’s great timing, in the sense that it highlights why the mf’er got shot to everyone else

    Cyber-Security Experts Warn Election Was Hacked

  • I will have to wait for more sources to report on this then for I will be honest with you and say I do not have the time to aggregate the data myself due to other data related work, nor would I know off-the-bat where to look.

    I’ll be watching this story closely

  • Where are they getting the numbers of these bullet votes from? I’m not seeing the source in the article or the dude’s substack

  • Trump tapped into their anxieties of a frightening world that’s worsening

    No reflection on how Trump exponentially makes that worse?

    So they’re stupider than we thought. Nice.

    Edit: at least the ones that vote

  • well, at least I wasn't the only one to wonder

  • Alternatively you’re asking physiology questions and the first paper that pops up is written by a 90s phrenologist whose Wikipedia page states they’re a well known white supremacist.

    Got two sentences into the abstract before stating “hol up”.

  • Mississippi’s Gun Death Rate is Twice as High as Haiti’s

    Jump

  • In fact, 6 of the 10 worst places on Earth for gun-related deaths are either U.S. territories or states: Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama have gun death rates even higherthan in countries the media and people online like to label as violent cesspools. Namely, those three states have more gun-related deaths than Haiti and Mexico. Mississippi has a gun death rate of 28.5 deaths per year per 100,000 people. According to the Commonwealth Fund, that’s almost double the firearm death rate in Haiti, where gang wars push people to starvation.

    Yes

  • US startup charging couples to ‘screen embryos for IQ’

    Jump

  • IIRC a CCR5 deletion leads to HIV resistance, but the homozygous allele also leads to immune transcription disruptions. I believe there was a Chinese geneticist that deleted CCR5 from twin embryos and got “disappeared” for it, but it remains to be seen what the consequences of that change are (I don’t remember if those embryos were implanted).

    I’m of the opinion that we should approach this topic with caution until we know exactly what’s going on and the consequences of said alleles. Hypothetically speaking, imagine being born and chosen by this IQ method only to realize some horrible consequence later like asthma susceptibility in a world with decreasing air quality.

    I’d be extremely pissed lmao. I could still find happiness even if I was less intelligent.

    There’s another discussion about genetic homogenization that I don’t care to go into atm too.

  • PRS are useful but not definitive when it comes to phenotype development, as you’ve hinted at, but I take issue with using them for eugenics purposes with the main reason being we do not know the underlying causal mechanism. It is too early to use them with confidence for something like this IMO.

    I work with PRS and I am not confident in using them for IVF purposes (that may change when we understand what’s actually going on the proteomics level). I would equate it to something along the line of sports betting with the consequences being eugenics in nature.

  • We absolutely do not - geneticist who has worked on neurodevelopment projects

    We don’t even know why Turner Syndrome - a disorder of X chromosomes - often leads to neurodevelopment delays. We have hypotheses that still aren’t tested, so anyone claiming to know the genetics of neurodevelopment is grifting you.
