GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic, known as manikomycin, that may be a bulwark in the fight against drug-resistant superbugs. By attacking the ribosome in a never-before-seen way, manikomycin can evade the existing mechanisms pathogens have developed to resist antibiotics.

GOOD NEWS! Phase I clinical trial results out of Johns Hopkins show a first-of-its-kind vaccine designed to target common KRAS mutations was safe AND stimulated KRAS-specific T-cell responses in 90% of study participants who were at HIGH risk of developing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Big tech paused CA’s GenAi transparency bill AB412 behind closed doors. However, over 3.8 million creative workers have come together to demand transparency! This coalition isn’t going anywhere! Its sponsors, CAA, SAG AFTRA, NAVA Voices & The Author’s Guild have next steps! Here’s what to do👇
AB-412 UPDATE
The Al Copyright Transparency Act
WE'RE NOT GOING AWAY
Artists & Creators Must Have Transparency!
The irony of a transparency bill dying in the dark is not lost on those of us in the creative community.
Big Tech is terrified of transparency. Big Tech, who has fought us every step of the way on the Al Copyright Transparency Act, has now succeeded in getting the legislature to kill AB-412 behind the closed doors of an appropriations committee.
It should be noted that AB-412 was a bill that had no fiscal appropriation whatsoever.
This will be devastating to the creative industries, their IP, and the hundreds of thousands of creative workers who bring billions of dollars to California's economy. Creative workers are struggling, and this very simple transparency bill could have helped countless people. The issue is not going away, and delaying workable solutions for such an increasing problem will only make the situation worse for everybody.
Our coalition representing more than 3.8 million individuals, brought creative workers from every corner of the creative economy together with a unified voice. Our bill passed out of the California Assembly, four committees in the State legislature, and several hundred individuals showed up at every single public hearing to say just how much a bill like AB-412 could help them. This issue is not going away. We are not going away. We are now moving to put our energy towards the next best steps.
Please take a moment to contact Assembly Member Rebecca Bauer-Kahan (916) 319-2016 and Assembly Member Ash Kalra (916) 319-2025 to thank them for their leadership in authoring and Co-Authoring this bill respectively.
Please express to them our request that they bring this bill back next session. Please tell everyone you know to contact them as well.
AB-412 simply affects too many people to simply be swept away into a corner and decided in the dark.
Sincerely, SAG•AFTRA CONCEPT ART ASSOCIATION
NAVA VOICE ACTORS AG AuthorsTRANSPARENCY SHOULDN'T BE DECIDED IN THE DARK.
Big Tech wants AB 412 stopped behind closed doors. A bill affecting hundreds of thousands of California creatives deserves a public hearing.
Call Assembly Members Rebecca Bauer-Kahan at
(916)319-2016 and Ash Kalra at (916)319-2025
thanking them for their leadership in authoring this bill and requesting they bring AB 412 back next session.

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%.

If the vaccine is effective in a late-stage trial, it would be “paradigm-shifting,” one expert said.

Vaccines save lives. This is the FIRST time that ZERO cervical-cancer deaths have been recorded for this age group, and it’s thanks to the introduction of a vaccine against the human papillomavirus (HPV). Yes, you read that correctly. ZERO.

a message from glass beach to our fans:

since coming back from our tour in 2024 we have been on and off trying to make a third album and/or another tour happen. we have decided after lots of back and forth that we no longer feel capable of making music together that we’re proud of nor can we tour in a way that works for all of us. we value our art enough not to compromise quality or our relationships with each other for the sake of continuing our career. because of this, we have decided to end glass beach.

we are all still friends, and in fact will find it much easier to be friends without this career coming between us. we harbor no ill will towards our label run for cover, who have been endlessly supportive, nor to anyone else we have been working with professionally.

we all intend to continue to make art and music, though not together as glass beach. j put out her debut under the new alias “you are an angel” and is already gearing up to tour that album and begin recording the next one, while finding time for other collaborative work and non-music projects as well.

Jonas is streaming music on twitch, working as a commission artist, and is releasing a set of acoustic demos tomorrow for a solo album they're working on.

Layne is streaming on Twitch, Youtube, and TikTok. Along with gaming challenge runs, he's put out a couple videos on YT and is working on new music, visual art, and planning out commission guidelines. You can find links to all of this on his Twitch page, along with a community Discord for updates & a Patreon link for overall support.

William has shifted mostly into community organizing, disability justice/mask distro/clean air advocacy. She's still writing music and may or may not record it at some point, but will be playing shows with high quality mask requirements in the greater Seattle area from time to time.

more than anything, we want to thank our fans for helping us take this project as far as we have. none of us had ever gotten this much …

Fun note on this article, this company uses comfyUI, which boasts a collection of some of the most unethical and exploitative GenAi models. This whole deal is Netflix normalizing the exploitation of the creative workers—whose works GenAi companies stole to train their models— they hope to replace.
A twitter post from ComyUI company:
We're honored to see how Interpositive is using ComfyUl to help filmmakers stay focused on what matters most — the creative work.
Founded by Ben Affleck and built by filmmakers, for filmmakers, InterPositive has been on a mission to develop Al-powered tools that protect and expand creative choice. Their technology is purpose-built to match the language cinematographers and directors already speak, keeping creative decisions firmly in the hands of artists.
Today, that mission just got a massive boost.
Congratulations to the entire InterPositive team on joining @netflix .
It's a powerful reminder that the best creative technology doesn't replace human judgment —
it amplifies it.A shot of all the unethical foundational models that power comfyuiScreenshot from Netflix showcasing comfy ui
