GOOD NEWS! Phase I clinical trial results show a first-of-its-kind personalized vaccine designed to treat glioblastoma, a deadly and aggressive form of brain cancer, is safe AND elicits robust and broad immune responses that appears to INCREASE recurrence-free survival in patients after surgery.

Happy Columbo day to those who celebrates.
Life-sized bronze statue of Columbo, portrayed in his signature disheveled trench coat, standing and scratching his head in a thoughtful pose. In front of him, there is a smaller statue of his loyal basset hound, sitting and looking up at him. The statues are placed on a sidewalk in an urban area with trees and parked cars lining the street.

Unpopular opinion (?): let the “skill games industry” in Pennsylvania die. It was only really popularized by a dubious court case, and actively harms vulnerable people. Replace skill games parlors with RPG shops and get these poor people some therapy.

Owls in Towels @owls-in-towels.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
8th of Owltober! Found on a busy road, this tiny Saw-whet Owl was scooped up for treatment at JLS Wildlife Hospital in Ithica, NY. After testing and rehab he was determined OK for release. Want to donate to JLS? www.vet.cornell.edu/giving/ways-... Source: fb.com/279924138530... #owlsintowels 💛🦉
A Saw-Whet Owl is wrapped in a cosy seafoam coloured garment, looking towards camera with rich sunflower yellow eyes twinkling from a trio of reflected ceiling lights. A syringe of fluid is administered to his open beak by a human wearing lavender nitrile gloves. It's possible he has the barest hint of a scowl in response to the fluids, but it might just be a stray black feather or two, making it look like a raised bottom eyelid. He's a little pink around the maw, probably from his latest meal of diced + defrosted animal treats, being the little carnivore that he is.

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

It’s bad. It’s not going to be easy for a long time. You’re not alone in feeling that way. To borrow from Mr. Rogers, I take a few minutes a day to think about the people who loved me into being. My teachers, family, mentors, friends, that one random lady that asked me if I was ok. Worth a try?

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

The Toocheke dev has released an option to pull a tapas site into a wordpress website using their plugin. Wordpress isn't the only option when it comes to websites, but this feature should make it a lot easier for people to make the switch to a website if they want.

I can recommend a heat pump water heater. We replaced our gas unit with one, and I’ve kept it on heat pump mode since with no issues. It’s saved us a ton of of money, even with the additional expense of adding a circuit.
