Welcome to the Jungle

The Supreme Court is weighing whether police can use “geofence warrants” to scan cell data from thousands of innocent people to find a suspect. It’s the first time the justices will decide if these digital dragnet searches violate constitutional protections.

Colorectal cancer rates in adults under 50 have doubled since the late 1980s. One in five colorectal cancer diagnoses now occurs in someone under 55, up from one in ten in 1995. A new study highlights the most concrete factor responsible for this trend. Using DNA methylation profiles as molecular records of lifetime exposure, the authors compared cancer patients under 50 with patients over 70 and identified the herbicide picloram as a significant new risk factor. There are converging lines of evidence. The picloram exposure signature was significantly elevated in early-onset tumor tissue and replicated across nine independent patient cohorts. Across 21 years of US county-level data spanning seven states, higher picloram use tracked higher early-onset CRC incidence, and the signal held after adjusting for income, education, and the use of other pesticides. Picloram associated tumors also showed a distinct molecular profile, with APC mutations at 74% versus 90% in low-exposure tumors, suggesting these cancers follow a different biological pathway than classical CRC. Picloram entered commercial use in 1964. Patients now diagnosed in their 70s were already adults before meaningful exposure was possible. Patients now diagnosed in their 30s and 40s were exposed across childhood and adolescence, the developmental windows when epigenetic programming is most plastic. This study delivers the first triangulation of molecular, ecological, and temporal evidence pointing at a specific environmental driver of one of the steepest cancer trends in modern epidemiology.

@llegostackr He’s already a starter in my book. Unlocks an entirely new level from a build up/attacking stand point

Chirila is cementing his spot in that back line imo

HOAs should be sued more frequently

We cannot have sustainable energy because it threatens the oil industry. We cannot have healthcare because it threatens insurance. We cannot have peace because it threatens the weapons industry. Capitalism built a system where doing the right thing is treated like bad business.

I’m not sure why people think you can go through a players leg from behind to get the ball “first”. Ridiculous

School Shooting: There’s nothing we can do about this. Don’t politicize these tragedies. Political Shooting: We need a $400 million bunker built immediately and you hate America if you don’t agree.

Posting like this while defunding the forest and national park service is such bullshit, man

Andrei Chirila has been very good for FC Cincinnati, getting minutes with a rash of injuries at center back. The 17-year-old should be earning a role even when others are fit. Been impressed so far.

@WarPigsChief Too many sloppy plays and errant passes for a 10/10. Definitely played great, but had some bad giveaways

Pavel was fantastic this game. His understanding of when to advance and when to hold back was sublime. His side of the field was defensively stout too. 10/10 match.

@WarPigsChief Chirila season

Fireworks expected at TQL stadium on Saturday.

Getting retirees into gaming and off of Fox could save the brains of a whole generation.

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America. A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts. In an attempt to influence American foreign policy, he proposed a Trump-branded golf course, cut Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump into a multibillion-dollar real estate deal for a resort in Albania, and had someone physically deliver a stone engraved with the Trump family crest to a Republican Member of Congress with instructions to take it to the White House to get the President's attention. Trump threw his weight behind repealing the sanctions. They were lifted. The contracts are moving, the Trump family’s deals are expanding, and not a single Washington Republican is willing to say a word about any of it. This is a corruption of everything the office of the presidency is supposed to stand for, and the American people deserve to know about it. nytimes.com/2026/04/19/us/…

“I’m demanding answers from NWS on why they aren’t as effective after we drastically cut their budget!” Start educating yourself (with centrist, reliable sources), and getting active in your local and state politics…or you’ll end up with more of this idiocracy leadership

@pauliewingnutz @Trags Then just quit man…

@Trags I’m so sick of this front office…

Bengals would have had their choice of Caleb Downs or Rueben Bain Jr.

has RFK tried just coughing really hard

@my6girls2012 @PolishXpress @jamiedupree The Weather Channel (a private, commercial media/weather company) is not the National Weather Service (a government agency that feeds data to TWC and all local weather stations and apps)…hope this helps

@PolishXpress @jamiedupree Same here. I quit watching TWC over 20 years ago.

I wrote about this in my newsletter. The Weather Service didn't launch balloons recently and got surprised by tornadoes in Kansas. DOGE cuts at NWS cut out weather balloon launches which gather data for storm prediction. You are less safe because of that choice.

@LaurelPfahler @JKnuevil In my opinion he looks more competent than several of our other option. He should be one of the first off the bench

@JKnuevil With the struggles on defense and Miles/Matt not available and it being a midweek game, I was expecting Chirila to get minutes last night but not because three more CBs got hurt. I don’t think anyone stands out enough to suggest the 17-year-old shouldn’t be looked at more.

Going back to Andrei Chirila's goal... he was technically the No. 8 CB on the sheet w/ Miles Robinson and Matt Miazga already out, Nick Hagglund hurt in warmups, Teenage Hadebe exiting in the 23rd min, Alvas Powell subbed off at HT with injury and given Flores and Kyle Smith started over him.
