In 2026, there is no longer any lab leak hypothesis you can state consistently with the available evidence. Despite this, it has been the dominant media narrative for six years. Read my new data-driven investigation: www.protagonist-science.com/p/biased-med...

An open source project, Thorium Browser, rejected Chromium patches I gave them today because I used AI tooling. These are proven patches with proof of testing, with working on metal fixes. This is stupid, stalls project progress, and chills open source community participation.

For people with disabilities, the age of smartglasses that subtitle speech really has arrived, and some acknowledgment of this might help us when people accuse us of being “creeps” for wearing “pervert glasses” (although at least we’ll know what they’re saying). www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Trump: “If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
