I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story.

An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

Nearly half of CDC surveillance databases have stopped updating β€˜The consequences will be dire,’ former NIAID director Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo warns

ICE observers recording with phones are heroes, and are the reason we know the truth about the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

In public health, we make observations by collecting and analyzing data. But RFK Jr. is taking the equivalent of our β€œphone”. Without data, he can lie with abandon.

Two images taken 85 years apart on different continents, but the similarities are unmistakable.

BTW: The murderer in the picture on the right was eventually identified in 2025. Let's hope it does not take 84 years to identify the fascist on the left.

Let’s have more straight talk.

We are way past political differences.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

They lived, worked, servedβ€”and hundreds of them gave their livesβ€”side by side with American troops. Anyone who served in Afghanistan knows how much this mattered, and we will never forget.

New clustering algorithm for cheminformatics #bblean #cheminformatics #RDKit Clustering is one of the common but really important task of cheminformatics. There are lots of clustering algorithms are know as readers know, but now we should struggle with huge amount of compound dataset such as Enamine Real, WuXi Galaxy, ZINC and so on in the Era of AI driven drug discovery. It's becomming taugh task for calcuating huge amount of compound properties, fingerprints and clustring them.

German soccer federation official wants World Cup boycott considered because of Trump A German soccer federation executive committee member says it’s time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.

About fucking time.

A German soccer executive is calling for a boycott of the World Cup because the president of the hosting nation is a cunt.

An infographic showing the European Union's initial humanitarian aid budget for 2026, totaling €1.9 billion. A world map features five color-coded circles of varying sizes representing funding for different regions.

Regional Funding Breakdown:

Sub-Saharan Africa (Green): €557 million (the largest allocation).

Middle East and Northern Africa (Orange): €463 million.

Non-geographical allocations (Blue): €415 million.

Asia, Latin America, Pacific, and the Caribbean (Red): €294 million.

Ukraine, Western Balkans, and the Caucasus (Purple): €153 million.

The European Union logo is in the bottom right corner.

The EU stands firm as the leading global donor.

As global crises leave 239 million people in crisis, we are providing €1.9 billion in humanitarian aid in 2026, including €557 million for Africa, €448 million for Gaza and the Middle East, and €145 million for Ukraine.

I'm increasingly convinced that if social media existed in the 1930s Germany, there would be endless videos of Jews being hauled out of their homes while people watched like this. People let this happen because they can't fight the state and it effectively encourages learned helplessness.

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemyβ€”they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies.

At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

Arctic security can only be achieved together.

This is why the proposed additional tariffs are a mistake, especially between long-standing allies.

The EU and US have agreed to a trade deal last July.

A deal is a deal.

And when friends shake hands, it must mean something.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

I know you’re angry. I’m angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets.

But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace.

Don’t give him what he wants.

We live in a world so barbaric that it equates civilization with domination. It seeks to control land, people, and existence. The only markers of success in such a world are profit, power and greed, while harmony with nature and simplicity are mislabeled as primitive.
