>TikTok supporters online are claiming that "pro-Israel lobbying groups" and Jews are responsible for pressuring Congress into fast-tracking bills that would ban the Chinese social media app, which the U.S. intelligence community deems a national security threat.
>Online activists across X, Reddit, and other popular internet forums are spreading anti-Semitic conspiracy theories claiming that prominent Jewish-American leaders oppose TikTok because it has emerged as a central repository for anti-Israel criticism related to the war against Hamas.
>One X account with nearly a million followers pinned blame for the ban on Jonathan Greenblatt, the Jewish leader of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a watchdog group that has raised concerns about the prevalence of anti-Semitism on TikTok. The claims parrot classic examples of anti-Semitism alleging that Jews control politics and use this power to silence criticism of Israel. The emergence of this argument is raising concerns on Capitol Hill amid a massive rise in Jew-hatred across America in the wake of Hamas's Oct. 7 terror strikes on Israel.
>"Seeing Gen Z in the US overwhelmingly support Palestine in the face of Israeli aggression, TERRIFIED [Greenblatt]," wrote X user "Censored Men" in a March 13 missive to more than 983,000 followers. "Is it such a coincidence that today the 'TikTok Ban Bill' passes after MONTHS of congress pushing for it so heavily?"
>"With the speed they moved to ban TikTok, there is 0 doubt in my mind pro-Israel lobbying groups are behind the pressure," wrote another X user, "Lolo," to more than 155,000 followers. "Israel has been getting absolutely cooked on TikTok the last few months and it doesn't help that their own bozo soldiers are posting videos of them doing war crimes once a week."
>This type of rhetoric has flourished on X, as well as other internet forums, since the House passed its version of the TikTok ban last week. The legislation is now in the Senate. Its chief Republican backer, Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.), says the rhetoric is evidence that the Chinese Communist Party is using TikTok to foment unrest in American and promote inflammatory propaganda.
>"I understand why they love TikTok," Rubio said. "The Chinese-controlled app amplifies their views because Beijing wants to divide and weaken America from within. We can debate Middle East policy, but we shouldn't give the Chinese Communist Party—a group actively committing genocide against Muslims—the ability to control that debate."
"Wow! I am fucking SHOCKED that Dems are voting to ban Tik Tok. This is AIPAC at work," Democrat Pamela Keith, a former Florida state lawmaker, wrote last week on X.
LMAO.

>A sweeping Senate bill would radically expand in vitro fertilization and other reproductive technologies for military service members without regard to their sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status, promoting the creation of children outside of marriage, including between two men and their hired surrogates. [later] Such services directly undermine the family and use taxpayer funding to create, preserve, implant, and destroy embryonic human life. It even goes so far as to reimburse service members when they buy someone else’s egg or sperm. All under the alphabet soup banner of the rainbow flag.
>Democrats pushed for a unanimous consent agreement Tuesday, meaning, if passed, the Veteran Families Health Services Act would sidestep the normal legislative review process. Thankfully, Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., refused to give unanimous consent.
>For a long time, the military has covered certain IVF and egg and sperm preservation services for active duty service members who suffered or may suffer an injury that leads to infertility. Military benefits have typically been restricted to the service member, his or her married spouse, and in some cases, their dependents. This radical act, however, would expand IVF access to nonmarried partners and women who serve as gestational surrogates, too. Instead of encouraging family formation, the Veteran Families Health Services Act explicitly promotes the artificial creation of children outside of marriage. Worst of all, federal taxpayer dollars will foot the bill.
>This also means that a man who can’t get pregnant (oh, wait, that includes all men) or a woman who cannot conceive a child with her female partner (yep, this is the same for all lesbian relationships, too) could qualify as “infertile” and receive taxpayer-funded IVF through the military. Infertility here is radically redefined to refer not to a physical deficiency but to a lifestyle choice.
As long as the lives of the neurotypical white youth are not forced to die for the MICIMATT, it's fine by me.

>Researchers at the Mass General Cancer Center are reporting on the outcomes of the first three patients in a clinical trial of CAR-T therapy for glioblastoma (GBM), a rapidly growing brain tumor and the most common type of malignant brain tumor in adults.
>CAR-T therapy, which represents the most personalized form of cancer treatment, operates by leveraging a patient’s own cells to combat the disease. This involves extracting a patient’s cells, engineering them to express specific proteins on their surface, and then reintroducing them into the body to directly target the tumor.
>The trial, dubbed INCIPIENT, aimed to assess the safety of CARv3-TEAM-E T cells in patients with recurrent GBM. While CAR-T therapies have gained approval for treating blood cancers, their application in solid tumors has been limited due to the diverse cell populations within these tumors, which allow some cancer cells to evade immune detection even after CAR-T treatment.
>To address this challenge, the research team employed a novel strategy combining CAR-T with bispecific antibodies, or T-cell engaging antibody molecules (TEAMs). This combined approach, specifically designed for glioblastoma, involves direct injection into the patient’s brain.
>The strategy showed promise in preclinical models of glioblastoma, motivating the researchers to move towards clinical application.
>[from the study's abstract] "Radiographic tumor regression was dramatic and rapid, occurring within days after receipt of a single intraventricular infusion, but the responses were transient in two of the three participants."
It's a long way to a miracle treatment like Gleevec, and it's very expensive, but it's close enough to enhance the survival rate.

>Now scientists in China have developed a way to encode data on 100 layers in optical discs. In addition, the data is recorded using spots as small as 54 nanometers wide, roughly a tenth of the size of the wavelengths of visible light used to read and write the data.
>All in all, a DVD-size version of the new disc has a capacity of up to 1.6 petabits—that is, 1.6 million gigabits. This is some 4,000 times as much data density as a Blu-ray disc and 24 times as much as the currently most advanced hard disks. The researchers suggest their new optical disc can enable a data center capable of exabit storage—a billion gigabits—to fit inside a room instead of a stadium-size space.
>“The use of ultrahigh-density optical data storage technology in big data centers is now possible,” says Min Gu, professor of optical-electrical and computer engineering at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology.

>London’s left-wing mayor Sadiq Khan has resisted calls to commission a statue commemorating the late Queen Elizabeth II in favor of approving £1 million in funding to erect a sculpture depicting the faces of hundreds of transgender sex workers on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square.
>The sculpture, created by Mexican artist Teresa Margolles and named Improntas, features plaster casts of 850 transgender people, many of whom were prostitutes, and was designed to draw attention to the marginalization of the trans community.
>The casts are placed on top of one another to create a cuboid, and the work is inspired by the ancient inhabitants of the Mesoamerican region who used to display the heads of ritual sacrifices and enemies in skull racks.
>The sculpture will not just include casts of the transgender people to whom it is dedicated, but will also be “infused with their hair and skin cells” and is designed to deteriorate as it is exposed to the elements, creating an “anti-monument.”
>The artwork was reportedly approved by the London mayor’s office last month with £1 million in taxpayer cash being used to fund its production and erection.
After losing the empire, national sovereignty, the demographics, the dignity after Brexit, what is left to lose? Can Khan hire a crew of diverse Nigerian workers to dig deeper in the rusted barrel to find out?

>With Europe's open borders and 'green globalism' resulting in a massive wave of populism, Germany's top security czar said on Tuesday that she aims to make it easier to track the finances of so-called right-wing extremists,' a catch-all phrase for 'people who don't agree with us' who would be surveilled by bureaucrats that would undoubtedly abuse their new tools (see: Justin Trudeau).
>Interior Minister Nancy Faeser's proposals follow a report that said 'extremists' met to discuss the deportation of millions of immigrants. The group included members of Germany's conservative AfD party, whose support has doubled since the 2021 German election, the Washington Post reports.
>"No one who donates to a right-wing extremist organization should be able to rely on remaining undiscovered," said Frazer, adding that she's actively working with regional authorities to prevent right-wing 'extremists' from entering or leaving the country.
>"German right-wing extremists and foreign autocrats have one thing in common: They want to stoke rage and divide, above all through disinformation," she said, pointing to fake accounts and AI-generated content as a problem.
>Fraser said that the country's "early recognition unit" - housed within the Interior Ministry, will start work "hopefully in a few months."

@augustus Putin comes from an environment where being cunning, paranoid and ruthless makes the difference between being dead or alive in power (by having "connections" and talking the talk where there's the need to do so), a long-standing characteristic of most of the Soviet Union and it's aftermath. It complements well his compulsive and inflexible personality, probably the only national-conservative in power worth mentioning. -

>Sweden has long said it suspected an unknown state actor, and an official statement from its top prosecutor's office now claims "The conclusion of the investigation is that there is no Swedish jurisdiction and that the investigation should therefore be closed." This is because "nothing has emerged to indicate that Sweden or Swedish citizens were involved in the attack that took place in international waters."
>Still, the same statement says they now have a "good picture" of the incident after a "systematic and thorough" investigation and this has ultimately led to the conclusion that "Swedish jurisdiction is missing" - according to Swedish Public Prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist. "It is not Sweden's task to continue this investigation."
>Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday Russia will now follow closely what Germany will do to investigate the explosions. "Of course, now we need to see how Germany itself reacts to this, as a country that has lost a lot in relation to this terrorist attack," he said. Moscow further suspects that given the likelihood of Western intelligence services or Ukraine being behind the sabotage attack, this is all a big stall tactic and that each investigation will ultimately point nowhere.

>The Supreme Court allowed the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to continue considering race in admissions on Feb. 2 when it declined an injunction request from a nonprofit that opposes affirmative action.
>“The record before this Court is underdeveloped, and this order should not be construed as expressing any view on the merits of the constitutional question,” the order reads. Its language indicated that the court could still consider the merits at a later date.
>The Biden administration defended race-based admissions at West Point, arguing that diversity was a “national-security imperative.” In her Jan. 26 brief, U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar also argued that courts shouldn’t select who is in the pipeline for military service.
>“It is the Executive officials charged with protecting our national security — not courts — that have authority to determine who will become a member of the Army (as cadets do immediately upon entering West Point … ) and who will form the pipeline for the Army’s future leaders.”
>The school similarly said that “the military has concluded that a diverse officer corps is critical to the military’s ability to defend our nation” because “it (1) fosters cohesion and lethality; (2) aids in recruitment of top talent; (3) increases retention; and (4) bolsters the Army’s legitimacy in the eyes of the nation and the world.”

@PodunkPotato @Humpleupagus @WashedOutGundamPilot It's a positive feedback loop that has been developing roughly since the 70's: worse male and female relationships lead the first either to aping negro pump-and-dump tactics or to withdraw in the world of pornography, and the second to become a workforce-pliant insouciant sex doll with the personality of an automatic door with the occasional "standing up" for a meaningless cause, which leads to more conflict and thus both to repeat the same patterns in spite of the other and so on. Not even ten years ago these screenshots would be considered a work of satire if not outright dystopian fiction, which means that the process has only accelerated. -
