  • After ‘humiliating’ raid, Burkina Faso halts ‘gene drive’ project to fight malaria

    Jump

  • Well as the article mentioned they haven't gotten to the gene drive part yet, they were testing a mosquito that would masculinize female mosquitos and would only be passed down through regular Mendelian inheritance.

  • NRA says it opposes idea of banning transgender Americans from owning guns

    Jump

  • I would not have called that one.

  • Medicare Will Start Paying AI Companies a Share of Any Claims They Automatically Reject

    Jump

  • And here's why one of Trumps first executive orders was that LLM's can make medical diagnoses. What a shock.

  • Scarborough: Pritzker should ‘partner up’ with Trump to fight Chicago crime

    Jump

  • "Come on guy, you should be happy that Trump wants to put armed military personnel on your streets! They're so cool with their automatic weapons and zooming around in their giant military vehicles! So come on, buddy.... pal; you just need give up a smidge of your freedom for security. It's only temporary... honest!"

  • Colorado governor stands by endorsement of RFK Jr. to lead America's health systems

    Jump

  • Trump cut a deal with him to give him the spot in exchange for RFK’s support in the election (which Trump probably needed), and that probably isn’t gonna change unless Trump is willing to stab him in the back.

    Don't count this out. IMO a lot of Trumps older grifts failed because because once the money started rolling in Trump tried to cut everyone else out of the grift, imploding the whole thing.

  • Cracker Barrel quietly removes DEI and Pride pages from its website after logo upheaval

    Jump

  • "Poutrage". Lol, I've gotta remember that one

  • Trump says China has to give US magnets or face 200% tariff

    Jump

  • Seriously, the second Trump administration has handed the world to china on a silver platter.

  • Trump's military occupation of DC crashes into reality—literally

    Jump

  • So remember to memorize spells like Burning hands, Melf's acid arrow, and fireball before you venture into the comments section.

  • Trump's military occupation of DC crashes into reality—literally

    Jump

  • On Thursday in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood, where federal agents appear to have left a dildo in the place of an anti-ICE banner they purloined a week before, residents confronted and pursued three apparently off-duty federal agents, cursing at them and taunting them about the sex toy. “Did you forget your dildo?” the woman shooting the video repeatedly asked.

    I hadn't heard of that one.

  • Scientists found the missing nutrients bees need — Colonies grew 15-fold

    Jump

  • Just so you know, the truthfulness of Einstein bee quote is rather dubious, and that's probably why you're getting down voted.

  • Scientists found the missing nutrients bees need — Colonies grew 15-fold

    Jump

  • It's a little more complicated than that, honey bees are great generalists and there have been a lot of winners among North American plants. But yeah, "capitalism" isn't far off the mark.

  • Scientists found the missing nutrients bees need — Colonies grew 15-fold

    Jump

  • The European honeybee in the Americas is kinda a double edged sword. It's an invasive species, which both steals resources from and spreads diseases to native bees. However, for better or worse at this point a good portion of agriculture is dependent upon the European honey bee.

    ... And they produce honey, which I like.

  • Scientists found the missing nutrients bees need — Colonies grew 15-fold

    Jump

  • There's a lot of problems bees (both honey bee and native bees) are facing. There's varroa mite, a virus spread by mites, pesticides, pollution, habitat loss, monoculture... a lot of stuff. However, healthy bees are more resilient, so healthy hive is much more likely to shrug off a event that could be "the straw that broke the camels back" for a weakened malnourished hive.

  • Trump and Melania’s Scammy Meme Coins Have Lost Almost All Value

    Jump

  • I'm sure there will be another pump (and subsequent dump) the next time Trump wants a bribe.

  • Elon Musk sued a group for reporting on X’s neo-Nazi content. His lawsuits are failing.

    Jump

  • I mean we are in a Land of Confusion. (Yes, I'm that old)

  • If There Was A Button That Made Everyone Amish

    Jump

  • No more global warming, but a lot more sexual assault.

  • Trump calls Putin to arrange face-to-face with Zelensky

    Jump

  • If this happens, I urge Zelensky not to drink any tea during this meeting.

  • Government papers found in an Alaskan hotel reveal new details of Trump-Putin summit

    Jump

  • Uhh... don't a lot of modern printers have onboard storage where they keep previously printed documents? If so you could probably get a lot more from that printer. Or am I thinking of copiers?

  • 10-year-old walked less than a mile to a dollar store, prompting a passerby to call police, who arrested his mom for reckless conduct.

    Jump

  • Ah, after reading the headline I was like "Again?"
