"They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours the reduced benefits the end of overtime and the vanishing pension" ~George Carlin

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrovaβs expertise, no one can fully unlock the dataβs potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.
Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:
βPioneering cancer researcher;
β*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
βNow indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
β"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.
Read it.

An NBC News article headline reads: "New images could change cancer diagnosis but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them." The article is by Jean Lee, published on April 21, 2025, at 5:34 PM EDT, with a 7-minute read time. It has 86 comments. The summary states: "A groundbreaking microscope at Harvard Medical School could lead to breakthroughs in cancer detection and research into longevity. But the scientist who developed computer scripts to read its images and unlock its full potential has been in an immigration detention center for two months β putting crucial scientific advancements at risk." The NBC News logo is at the top.
This is who we are now?!

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they donβt die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
