Nice goin’, science guys. Now about that cancer thing …

The longest nude careers
Thanks to everyone who researched this topic (see the comments section) 1. The span between Stefanie Powers’ first and last scenes was 50 years (1970-2020, ages 28-78), despite a late start. She probably has the longest gap between nude scenes, 44 years between Little Moon and The Artist’s Wife. 1….
Darth Cheney has joined the Death Star
It is customary not to speak ill of the recently deceased, but there are always exceptions. It’s always a memento mori when a noteworthy life comes to an end. For better or worse, he played a major role in our lives. Share via: Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn More
Donald Trump actually shared this on Truth Social
To be completely fair, he is already the greatest president in the history of Venezuela. He is now the second American to be president of two countries. If I remember right, the adventurer William Walker was the President of two different nations: Nicaragua, and the short-lived Republic of Lower California….
LOL!
Seriously though, I enjoy when scientists are like, “This is weird. Something should be here.” And then they find it.
It is truly amazing how many things these people “discover” that provide no practical use or advantage to society. They have no problem trumpeting them to the world however.
One of the consistent facts about science is that any new understanding will eventually be useful. In some cases, its use is apparent. In others, it reveals itself slowly. Gregor Mendel’s work on genetic inheritance was considered useless stuff and remained unread and unapplied throughout his lifetime. To the world, he was an egghead playing with peas in his garden. Today the field of genetics, of which he is considered the father, may be the single most important and useful of all the sciences.
It doesn’t fit here, but one of the things that people don’t understand about scientific research is the need to progress step by step. So, there are all sorts of research findings that seem totally obvious, but because of the need to nail findings down before moving on, there is a need to confirm what seems to be the obvious.
On the flip side, science has been held back by many false assumptions. I read a book a couple years ago called ‘The Sounds of Life’ by Karen Bakker about plant and animal communications and this field had been dominated by assumptions that plants don’t/can’t communicate and animals don’t/can’t communicate over long distances. Both assumptions were overturned by research that most scientists (and very likely non scientists if they were aware of the reserach) dismissed as ‘how did the nutty scientist get funding to explore The Secret Life of Plants?”
