It looks like there's a big development in developing a melanoma vaccine by Moderna and Merck. Hopefully it pans out! www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Merck and Moderna say cancer vaccine shows promise in preventing recurrence of melanoma
The companies haven’t published the trial data, but they said the experimental treatment extended the time before cancer returned in high-risk patients.

BREAKING: ABC has accused Trump's FCC of violating its free speech rights — arguing that regulators had a "chilling effect" on free speech by trying to punish political content they disagreed with.

My entire lifetime has seen Republicans benefit from every structural bias in the system: two republican presidents elected while losing the popular vote,the senate being biased towards small rural conservative states,house and state legislatures being heavily gerrymandered, and a captured SCOTUS.

Pete Buttigieg took a brief leave when his son was in the ICU and Republicans still attack him for it to this day. But Duffy goes on an extended vacation to shoot a reality show while there are all sorts of pressing problems with air travel and Fox News thinks it's awesome. Beyond parody.

it's a violation of the NYT's own AI policy, and it's also not disclosed that AI was used to report the article. how many other articles at the @nytimes.com contain AI-generated misinformation that's gone unchecked? www.nytco.com/press/princi...
Headline from the Times reading "How The New York Times Uses A.I. for Journalism". The subhead reads: "We don’t use A.I. to write articles, and journalists are ultimately responsible for everything that we publish."

personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.
Editors’ Note: May 1, 2026
This article was updated after The Times learned that a remark attributed to Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative leader, was in fact an A.I.-generated summary of his views about Canadian politics that A.I. rendered as a quotation. The reporter should have checked the accuracy of what the A.I. tool returned.  The article now accurately quotes from a speech delivered by Mr. Poilievre in April. He said, “My personal opinion is that when a member of Parliament goes back on the word they made to their constituents and switches parties, constituents should be able to petition to throw them out and have a byelection. That would put the people back in charge of our democracy rather than having dirty backroom Liberal deals by Mark Carney determine our destiny.” He did not refer to politicians who changed allegiances as turncoats in that speech.

This ridiculous idea that academics are supposed to make sure conservatives feel good, even when the empirical evidence goes against what they believe. For people like Matty Y, that is what makes you 'serious'.

America has suffered ignorant presidents, corrupt presidents, and incompetent presidents. Trump is all of these, yet something far worse: He’s the first president to view the presidency not as a sacred public obligation, but as a personal vanity project designed solely to serve himself.

The $25 billion estimate that a top Pentagon official gave to lawmakers on Wednesday for the total cost to date of the Iran war is a lowball figure that does not include the cost of repairing extensive damage suffered by US bases in the region. The real cost estimate is closer to $40-50 billion.

Trump's Big Beautiful Bill was written by the Heritage Foundation. It demonstrates the rightwing's obsession with stripping away the social safety net to provide deeper tax cuts to the already rich. Our response to this has to be taxing the wealthy and clawing that money back.
