  • If I’m paying $900 for a phone, you’d better believe that 4K30 is the barest of bare minimums I’m expecting that rear camera to do unless it’s a deliberate tradeoff for something more ethical like a Fairphone. The Pixel 9 base model can shoot at 4K60 and 1080p240 (256 GB and the same $900 price). “Good AI features” lmfao blow it out your ass, Asus. I wonder where this comparison chart is coming from anyway.


  • Often called the “Citizen Kane of bad films” due to both its cult status as the best bad movie of all time and to the remarkably layered depth of the badness, The Room is a 2003 dark drama indie film written by, produced by, directed by, and starring Tommy Wiseau – an enigmatic eastern European man who originally wrote the film as a play and a book and took inspiration from his favorite classics like A Streetcar Named Desire, Rebel Without a Cause, Citizen Kane, and The Guns of Navarone. Imagine if you took a film that was so truly, earnestly, passionately trying to live among those movies solely for a love of the medium and yet failed completely at emulating every single aspect of them, and you have The Room. I seriously can’t recommend it enough; there’s not a single movie I can say that I’ve watched 8 times and would happily watch again except this one.



    • Approximately 75% of breast cancers are of a certain type.
    • We know of ways to target this type of cancer directly and indirectly.
    • However, these methods rarely fully cure the problem, and the patient eventually develops a resistance to these treatments, which makes continued use less effective.
    • We recently examined and reported on a drug which targets this common cancer type in a novel way and is remarkably effective.
    • However, that drug also interacts with non-cancerous cells in certain contexts, which ideally you want a cancer-targeting drug to avoid wherever possible.
    • We examine and report on a variant of this drug that is similarly effective but is less likely to target non-cancerous cells.
    • It is tolerated well in rodents, and this drug and related drugs are worth exploring for treating this cancer type.

    In a time of crisis where 75% of US adults are overweight or obese, it actually is a good thing that we talk to people in our lives about things we’re doing to lose weight, as long as that’s being used as a positive example and not a way to act superior. (Also, if eating salads makes you sad, you’re doing salad wrong; iceberg lettuce with a few croutons and dressing is a salad in the same way that unseasoned broth with noodles and nothing else is soup.)
