  • “After boarding the vessel and interviewing 26 suspected crew members from the Philippines, one suspected crew member from Portugal, and one from Indonesia, officers confirmed that 27 of the 28 subjects were involved in either the receipt, possession, transportation, distribution, or viewing of CSEM or child pornography,” the agency told The Independent in a statement.

    Yeah, I don’t believe you. Just 30 or so immigrant crew members, all aboard the same boat, all sharing child porn. I dunno. Anything ICE does is probably either trying to muddy the waters around trump raping, murdering, and cannibalizing children, or in grabbing new people for trump to rape, murder, and eat. Kinda hard to take anything seriously from an administration devoted to protecting pedophile monsters.


  • What does the U.S. get?

    The expansion of Special Zones for Employment and Economic Development (ZEDES), also known as “Private States,” in which countries cede part of their territorial sovereignty to private capital. In these zones, the country’s labor codes, minimum wage laws, environmental protection laws, and other legislation do not apply.

    The creation of legislation favorable to investment by US and Israeli artificial intelligence companies in Honduras.

    Jesus fucking christ

    Former Honduras President Juan Orlando Hernández had this to say:

    “In Honduras, you need force, you need logistics, you need blood. If you want to keep people under control, you need to oppress them. Squeeze them. Counter violence with violence. That’s what President Trump says, and just imagine he’s going to be there forever. How? I don’t know, but just imagine that, and do as I say. And don’t be so soft … Otherwise, you can’t do the job. That’s what Pablo Escobar said.”

    Dude casually mentioning that trump plans on never ceding power, using violence













  • Ok, so the study was specifically targeting a genetic form of deafness linked to mutations in a gene called OTOF. These mutations prevent the body from producing enough of the protein otoferlin, which is essential for sending sound signals from the inner ear to the brain.

    researchers used a synthetic adeno-associated virus (AAV) to deliver a working version of the OTOF gene directly into the inner ear.

    Super cool! And now they’re targeting other genetic forms of deafness hoping to deliver similar results. Neat!

    “OTOF is just the beginning,” says Dr. Duan. “We and other researchers are expanding our work to other, more common genes that cause deafness, such as GJB2 and TMC1. These are more complicated to treat, but animal studies have so far returned promising results. We are confident that patients with different kinds of genetic deafness will one day be able to receive treatment.”
