Back in New England where I belong. All dogs are good dogs. Travel, hockey, video games, bourbon, punk & indie. I block those I find tiresome.

Scientists in Japan have figured out how to make cancer cells end themselves.
They forced cancer cells to poison themselves by creating a toxin that reacts with carbon monoxide, causing the toxin to only affect cancer cells. Normal cells were unharmed in lab tests.

The @GOP must be thrilled that 11 days before elections, we learn that the Trump family secretly orchestrated a deal to allow Russians to drill Alaska in exchange for a $25 billion "investment" funneled through their proxies.

Trump said: “When I’m gone, you’re all going to be broke.” Truer words have never been spoken. He has plundered, robbed and bilked the whole country for himself and his family. That’s what disgorgement is all about. Disgorgement—please practice this very fine word.

When racists ask questions from a racist perspective, they will never accept the answer, even if it’s the one they wanted, because they are still racist afterwards.
🔥 “Answer the question, Tommy — I think you’re the one who needs to read the constitution, not me.”
@AbdulElSayed skillfully handles a bigoted Islamophobic heckler and exposes him as the true religious zealot in the room.

After the Russian bots got knocked offline we had a couple of days of peace on here. Apparently the algorithm was changed to push legit right wing voices to be prominent because now my feed is all GOP reps and depts of Trumps govt.

It's become painfully clear that structuring our whole society around maximising profit instead of the wellbeing of people and planet was a REALLY terrible idea.

Everyone put on your surprise faces that Trump used the government to pay for his awful America 250 celebrations and shook down his corporate donors for millions that have disappeared without a trace.
NEW: Records obtained by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility show Trump's Freedom 250 celebrations/events cost $128 million, with anticipated federal funding of $114 million
Group says: "Freedom 250 raised substantial corporate funds, raising questions where that private funding went if most of the signature events were largely government funded"

So now the Trump administration is sending out one-time $500 checks to people who bought their health insurance through HealthCare.gov and paid the full price because they didn’t qualify for taxpayer subsidies.
In other words, people who’s income is roughly 400% above poverty and could already afford to pay full price for their health insurance are getting a $500 check from the president. And guess when those checks started showing up? October 1. Weeks before the midterm election.
The checks come with a letter from Trump lying about why you’re getting your $500. And here’s the really interesting part: this isn’t being distributed evenly across the country. Of the roughly $475 million being sent out, 71% of it, or $339 million, is going to people in just 13 states.
Those 13 states happen to be major midterm battlegrounds. They contain eight of the nine Senate races and 10 of the 12 governors’ races that nonpartisan analysts consider the most competitive.
Call it whatever you want. I’ll call it what it is: a bribe.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
