Helicopter keeps coming back to this family farm, dropping a rope and doing some kind of surveying The helicopter does not have permission, the owner is furious I looked up the helicopter and found its ‘Helicopter N743’ and is registered to the IS Department of Interior This is the Rowdy Holler Farm, a small family homestead in the heart of Appalachia, Kentucky This would be extremely concerning to anyone, from what I can gather it might be a Geological Survey, under DOI FAA rules allow low flight for such operations; individual landowner notification isn’t always required People are speculating everything from tick boxes to mineral rights surveying We have seen a lot of land grabs and mineral grabs lately so of course anyone would be concerned seeing this on their own property without their consent

A peer-reviewed paper published last year in the journal Bioethics by two professors at Western Michigan University School of Medicine argues that it is "morally obligatory" to genetically engineer ticks to spread alpha-gal syndrome, a permanent condition that makes you violently allergic to red meat. The paper is called "Beneficial Bloodsucking." Their argument: if eating meat is morally wrong, then preventing the spread of a disease that forces people to stop eating meat is also morally wrong. Scientists should gene-edit lone star ticks to enhance their ability to carry alpha-gal syndrome and expand their range into urban environments to infect more people. They call this a "moral bioenhancer." They frame releasing genetically modified disease-carrying ticks as a "vaccination" that only "infringes" on your bodily autonomy rather than "violating" it. The distinction, apparently, is that a tick bit you instead of a government official holding you down. Alpha-gal syndrome is not mild. The CDC estimates up to 450,000 Americans are already affected. Cases have surged 100-fold in the last decade. Symptoms include anaphylaxis. There is no cure. Alpha-gal cases are exploding across the United States. The lone star tick's range is expanding far beyond its historical territory. And two academics at a medical school published a paper arguing this is a good thing that should be accelerated. At what point do we stop treating papers like this as fringe academic exercises and start asking whether anyone is already acting on them?

Truly impressive turnout last night! This went along with the solid lineup of presentations commended by the many who were buzzing before & after over drinks and networking. ​Downturn in the market be damned. This is a massive movement on the rise...

Last week, the United States refused to participate in the UN’s review of the Global Compact on Migration. The United States objects to the Global Compact on Migration and UN efforts to facilitate replacement migration to the United States and our Western allies.
