edge,

Not sure what your point here is, but the first people to undergo risky experimental treatments like that are people already close to death. The fact that they died doesn’t necessarily mean the experiment was bad.

Slayman, who had end-stage kidney disease, underwent the transplant in March at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston at age 62.

The hospital said in a statement on Saturday that there was “no indication” that his death was the result of the transplant. The transplant surgeon had said he hoped the transplant would function for at least two years.

And the second story is completely different. Heart transplants and gene therapy are completely different things.

As part of a trial run by Cambridge University, Opal received an infusion of a working copy of the OTOF gene in her right ear. The surgical procedure took only 16 minutes and was carried out just before she reached her first birthday.

Opal has tolerated the procedure and the gene therapy itself well, and she’s experienced no adverse effects following the treatments

Chinese scholars usually write it as CCP.

Source? Why would they use the wrong acronym for their own country’s government?

edge,

Don’t forget Germany replacing all of their nuclear power with coal. Thanks Green Party!

The Boys – Season 4 Official Trailer | Prime Video (m.youtube.com)

In Season Four, the world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power. Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca’s son and his job as The Boys’ leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes...

edge,

I can’t wait to read about whatever fucked up shit happens. It’s an interesting show and I’d like to watch it, but I can’t really stomach it. Just reading the things that happen has me kind of sick.

cw: some of the fucked up shit that happensThe exploding heads thing triggers some sort of extra empathetic response in me. Like they didn’t just die, their entire being (as in, their brain) was completely destroyed out of nowhere. Also the circumstances and magnitude of the event would change politics forever, but nah just use a convenient scapegoat and don’t worry about it.

edge,

I wish I could make money doing this.

edge,

in fact, he’s been bolstering the potential powers of a future fascist leader

Libs: “We can’t do [good thing] by presidential decree because that will empower Trump if he wins.”

Also libs: “Yeah, crack down on those rowdy antisemitic students protesting against genocide!”

edge,

Hmm, why couldn’t he do that three years ago? soviet-hmm

edge,

tbf it might be about how much more of a disaster the 20th century would have been without the Soviets.

Edit: Rough summary (I watched at 2x speed and didn’t focus too much on the specifics): Trotsky takes power from Kerensky by electoralism, the Whites win the civil war ousting Trotsky then invade Atatürk’s Turkey for some reason, Russia descends into a fascist state under Kolchak and Germany turns left instead.

So literally just Russia and Germany swapping roles in WW2.

“Kolchak turns into a dictator. A wave of antisemitism engulfs the country and thousands of Jewish families are exiled, or worse.”

He also says

“What would a Ukraine that never experienced Stalin’s Holodomor look like?”

despite earlier mentioning famines during Kolchak’s reign. He did mention the White Terror though and said it was much worse than the Red Terror.

edge,

But this rarely works because 1) in their mind, nothing could be more evil or harmful than genocide

How can someone possibly write this and not second guess themself? Yes, genocide is indeed pretty much the most evil thing.

edge,

Unnecessary compounding of words making them harder to read. It’s basically “Highereducationstatisticsact”.

edge,

lmao RFK Jr is proposing to Biden that they hold a nationwide poll putting Biden and him each 1-on-1 vs Trump and the loser will drop out. He’s showing polls where Trump beats Biden but without Biden, Kennedy beats Trump. Saying “Biden is the real spoiler”.

Regardless of how true or crazy it is, it’s a good bit.

edge,

I am unironically asking the students to arm themselves. This will continue to escalate and you should have proper defenses before it becomes deadly.

Does anyone know if there’s actually been any consideration of arming themselves among the student groups?

They need to bring this back: https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/5c11c778-47e3-4e97-8835-08ee8eca6404.jpeg

Isn’t quiet quitting completing work to the minimum you can get away with?

How is this quiet quitting, and if it is, what isn’t?

edge,

Maybe you’re thinking of Herman Cain?

edge,

The protestors need to start open carrying.

edge,

It’s less “exercising their rights” and more defending themselves. There’s literally a sniper pointed at them, the cops are ready to kill.

Of course it could also backfire…

edge,

Clearly he’s anticipating his loss this year and planning to run in 2028 (at the sprightly age of 87), hence the “pause” between terms.

edge,

I just noticed that Wikipedia has finally renamed the “Uyghur genocide” article to “Persecution of Uyghurs in China”. It’s still full of bullshit, including “that is often characterized as persecution or as genocide”, but the title change from something blatantly counterfactual is nice to see.

Edit: lmao it stems from my move request, I did it (sort of)

edge,

Who launched the World War?

Who do they think launched it if not Germany?

edge,

Sex should be under social needs, but other than that I don’t see what’s wrong with it as a general framework.

edge,

Israel and Palestine’s history started on October 7th.

Russian and Ukrainian history started on February 24th, 2022, obviously.

edge,

I saw someone say if we had contact with aliens, they’d be coming here in droves to see the amazing cosmic rarity of a total solar eclipse with a visible corona (especially on a habitable planet). Which honestly sounds about right.

edge,

Well it was such a winning strategy for her.
