and look, sometimes you genuinely didn’t like someone’s work and thought they were overhyped, and then they turn out to be a colossal asshole, and this feels very vindicating but former fans should be okay saying “this did mean something to me, this was good, and that’s what makes it hurt more”

1 in 280 people have Lynch syndrome; about 1 million in the US alone. It's a heritable condition where the DNA proofreading machinery fails, leading to VERY high rates of certain cancers (colorectal & endometrial). A new vaccine could intercept tumors in these patients, saving lives.

Testing is underway on vaccines to intercept brewing colon cancer before it takes root

Scientists are creating a new kind of vaccine that teaches the immune system to intercept a type of brewing colon cancer before it turns into a full-fledged tumor.

Huh, Okayyyy: "Chi-Town Patriots PAC" was just registered today with the Illinois State Board of Elections by Lawrence Stowe, who pled guilty in 2012 to selling fake cures to real neurological diseases Judge Miller emphasized that Stowe “…took advantage of people dying and offered them hope.”

Illegal Sale of Stem Cell Case Lands Engineer to Federal Prison
HOUSTON—Lawrence Stowe, 61, has been ordered to prison for his role in a conspiracy to introduce misbranded and unapproved new drugs into interstate commerce, announced United States Attorney Kenneth Magidson along with Tommy Hennesy, resident agent in charge of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-Office of Criminal Investigations. Stowe pleaded guilty September 7, 2012.

Today, U.S. District Judge Gray Miller sentenced Lawrence Stowe, 61, a total sentence of 78 months in federal prison to be immediately followed by three years of supervised release. In handing down the sentence, Judge Miller emphasized that Stowe “…took advantage of people dying and offered them hope.” Restitution was also ordered in the amount of $419,358 to be paid jointly and severally with co-defendant Francisco Morales, 54, of Brownsville. Morales was previously sentenced to 60 months in prison.

Stowe, of Moline, Illinois, admitted that beginning in January 2006, he utilized several businesses, Stowe BioTherapy Inc. and The Stowe Foundation to advertise and promote a medical treatment protocol for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s, and other neurological diseases. This treatment protocol, which was named “Applied Biologics,” consisted of supplements, vaccines, patient specific transfer factors and ultimately stem cell therapy. Stowe falsely represented to patients that this treatment protocol had been reviewed by all levels of the FDA and was effective in the treatment of ALS, MS, and Parkinson’s. There is currently no cure for these diseases.

At the hearing, testimony was presented by a sister of a victim in the scheme detailing how she cared for her brother in the last year of his life when he met Stowe and paid him $47,000 with the false hope of a cure. She said her brother did not have much cash, so the $47,000 was all his savings.

I'm not saying it's PRACTICAL to build railroads or highways that connect London to New York via Nome/Fairbanks, I'm saying it's mostly FEASIBLE. The Bering Strait, if you connected the Diomede Islands, would require two bridges of 40 km (25 miles), ~the length of Lake Pontchartrain bridge.

Your two options in American politics are the "let's raise taxes and give rural America subsidies" party and the "let's cut taxes and give it all to billionaires" party. I think it would be neat if there were a "raise taxes and invest in urban areas" option!
