“In 2017, Canadian researchers raised alarm when they used $100,000 worth of mail-order DNA to reconstitute the extinct horsepox virus. Critics said the same methodology could be used to construct smallpox, a closely related and deadly virus. Gene synthesis has only gotten cheaper since then.”

I don’t believe in demons or exorcists, but I was curious what people who do believe in demons and exorcists think requires firing your exorcist. It turns out it was videos about how UFOs are likely demons.

This is really, really good.

Glorious.

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

Every single day we’re met with a flood of information we’re supposed to follow, absorb, and understand to be ready for all the rest that will follow. It keeps us engaged, which is great for the platforms, but is it really great for us? All I know is I need to pull back.

What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy. Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc. Some call it the "Network State."

"Pelley told 60 Minutes colleagues that CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss said Pelley had created a “hostile work environment” and that Weiss asked him to write an apology letter. Evidently, this is not a request Pelley will comply with."

I am a broker. This is not happening. If you apply for a subsidy and THEIR SYSTEM shows that you make too little and you qualify for Medicaid, you are kicked to Medicaid… BY THEIR SYSTEM. There is no double dipping here. He’s a moron.

Citing anti-ICE protests, Steve Bannon and Jack Posobiec agree that Bill Pulte was chosen as DNI to “start digging in on the domestic side of terrorism”

This is so utterly insane I’m at a loss. But it makes sense if you want to turn the entire US intelligence apparatus into a tool for domestic persecution and domination. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/06...

Gonna be a generational burden to recreate the norm that scamming other people is bad when our positions of leadership are being filled by proud scammers and people who previously only succeeded in the field of social media engagement bait

Not only extremely funny, but also very true.

The fact Trump is turning to Pulte shows some combination of: * the bench is incredibly thin * he does not think DNI is a real job * he only trusts absolute loyalists, and that circle is small Its a measure of a weak and dysfunctional personalist regime.

Pulte is even less qualified to be acting DNI than Ric Grenell was during Trump’s first term. Both are vicious political hacks. Look for Pulte to weaponize intelligence against Trump’s perceived enemies. (Btw his appointment as acting DNI is perfectly legal under the Vacancies Act.)
