GOOD NEWS! Phase I clinical trial results out of Johns Hopkins show a first-of-its-kind vaccine designed to target common KRAS mutations was safe AND stimulated KRAS-specific T-cell responses in 90% of study participants who were at HIGH risk of developing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Phase I results show early promise for a vaccine designed to prevent pancreatic cancer in people at high risk of developing the disease.

"deskilling" is a 250 year old concept around automating a skill in a workflow thus removing the need for labor with that skill. there are a lot of studies around what this does to labor and industry. i can see this is going be academic jargon that gets de-jargoned. [🧵ranting about labor]

“The idea of deskilling implies that someone possessed an ability and then lost it. Here, the danger is not just deskilling but never-skilling. Although a doctor who has forgotten how to reason is recoverable, one who never learned how may not be.”

what also really bites is that we literally have examples of concept art of ganondorf for multiple games where he was pitched as being brown and not green, like. some of the artists were trying. he's always been just another member of the gerudo, he's always been a PoC regardless. it's not debatable

any kind of 'ganondorf has to be green' discourse is pure horseshit do not tell me we have to deal with a resurgence of this just bc of the stupid shit movie. "ganondorf isn't black or brown because he's green. this means he must be white. because he's green" what the fuck are any of you on about

when people report being unhappy with being men today, a lot of them are literally on the receiving end of a firehose of deliberate propaganda designed to turn them into insecure customers desperate for some way of feeling gender euphoria for being men

beign new to dragon's dogma and not already knowing about the affinity/beloved system has you being like why is this medieval peasant blushing at me like an anime character

The most expensive minds of the games industry are really salivating for a transition to a downsized inexpensive genAI-centric workforce and a games media ecosystem with no publications or reporters but hundreds of influencers.
