As the headline says, they grew a cornea for a patient in a lab using lab-grown human eye cells, then 3D-printed them into a cornea, and implanted it into a patient. They're expanding this to 10-15 patients. The company that did this is in North Carolina, but they're doing the therapies in Israel for...some reason, probably to do with cost, tbh. They'll be announcing results from the second stage of the study in the second half of 2026.
Honestly, despite the involvement of Israel, this IS good news. Cornea transplants suck, and if people can avoid rejection risk, then good.
Whadda mean, you're still processing my order for a manifold boot kit? Just put in a box and ship it. Do I have to explain how retail works to everyone? Jesus Christ, Mother Mary, and Joseph. Back in my day, if you got an order, you delivered. YOU HAVE ONE JOB.
I thought that was some sort of footwear before I googled "manifold boot kit." It seems like some sort of thing related to diesel engines.
Don't get me started in my ordeal with getting a refund from Amazon on some item that I never received because some delivery droid didn't read my FUCKING GOTTDAMN delivery instructions. AGAIN!
a bunch of companies laid off some folk a month or two ago (three?) and it got me wondering if the "processing" thing this year is that. Like they do not have enough workers for the demand so they just say they are "processing" for a lot longer than it used to be.
Maybe I'm misremembering, but wasn't there a time when bringing spurious cases or frivolous lawsuits was a common reason for lawyers to be disciplined?
I'd imagine the BBC will insist on the case being heard in the UK. They do not fuck around there (unlike here) and I suspect that this will disappear when the discovery starts.
There was a post down thread about it that said the BBC's lawyers are seeking that orange bag of shit's medical records since he says he's in "perfect" health.
"We've always tried to keep the kickbacks, the billing for work not done, using inferior materials, padding invoices, manipulating change orders, diverting funds, underbidding then overcharging, and collusion kinda quiet, but now it's 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭!"
So Percy has thinner fur, and is always crawling under things for warm. It is very cute but I felt bad for him, especially as we got that artic whatever and it is really cold, so I bought him a sweater. I read up online how spinx owners get their naked cats used to clothing and am embarked on a "getting to know you" campaign involving much treats, in the hopes he will grow, if not fond of it, used to it, and be a warm gato.
But ohhhhh the drama XD He is not unhappy, and he only wore it briefly, but lol at the I Can't move There's Something On Me flop. Mind, this is a cat who regularly makes a burrito of himself and I have to rescue from various blanket twists.
I kid you not, about five minutes after taking it off him (you put it on and treat him, and take it off and treat him after a few minutes, and repeat it until he starts accepting it) he pulled my sweater off the back of the chair and got himself so tangled up in it that he mewled until I untangled him
Some media outlets just said "Rob Reiner and Wife", at least in their headlines, and that irritated me. To me, just "wife" makes Michelle less of a person, instead of a talent in her own right.
Let me add this, which I just thought...even if a wife doesn't have enormous talent or a place in media, her name should STILL be mentioned, because she's STILL a person.
Some, not all. And I agree ... her advocacy deserves recognition. But, then again, remember who is running the MSM ... a group of white, rich, teeny peened misogynists.
Having been a TV reporter, producer, and a writer for a national network, I always have an urge to defend some parts of the MSM. But those “parts” are getting more and more rare.
I see. Say anything at all negative about Charlie Kirk and lose your job. Say bile about beloved Rob Reiner, also murdered, and get applause (probably). I hate everything.
what I want to know is why the press felt so inclined to add Trump's crap into the story. Like you wanna report it, make it its own story. There's no fucking need to put what he said about it in a story about the couple.
I very very very rarely criticize wonk writers and I am not really criticizing here, so much, they're just doing what every other outlet has done. Just wish it was not a thing.
Well, let us see. I got the second coat on the bathroom trim and wainscoating yesterday. Now I am trying to decide which bathroom to do first and it will probably be the smaller half bath because once I get the full bath painted I want to be done, done, done. I made a list of hardware and sent it to my mom for my The Holidays gifts. Yay. Today I will remove everything from the walls like art and towel racks and get to spackling.
Still waiting to close on the mortgage but I hear from the processor that everything is moving along. Still hoping its done but The Holidays end.
Looked up the recovery podcast I follow on IG and saw they posted pictures of themselves with Nick Reiner, a friend of their show and someone they supported in staying in recovery. This is why we say substance abuse is a family disease, it affects everyone who loves the person who is using. Add that to serious mental illness, and you just get a nightmare. This is such an absolute heartbreak. People are being like, "You shouldn't call him your friend, your friendship should be over," but it's never that simple. We should all be hoping Nick Reiner can find sanity and peace as he is clearly a disturbed person. Just heartbreaking.
Friends of ours have an addicted son, in and out of rehab, has been struggling for many years. It is heartbreaking and sometimes scary for the parents too. Nobody wins.
I wonder how many of these employees they are putting on leave to go soak up tax payer dollars are the HB1 visa holders the companies had to pay for, and bitched about
and how much of that taxpayer money will go to the actual employee vs the company
All the AI companies (except Google) need to generate a LOT of revenue to pay off the hundreds of billions invested in their glorified web search. Why not tap the taxpayers?
But Google isn't dependent on their AI to stay afloat. OpenAI and Anthropic, for example, are. If the AI fails to sell, those two companies, and all their investments, go *poof!*
I'll believe this when I see it . . . Trump has said publicly that he's refusing to fire anyone he's appointed, and this is one subject where I tend to believe him more often than not . . . and he does not care one iota about the FBI's reputation (whatever may be remaining) . . .
As the story itself notes, how is Brown U fuck-up any different than any of the others (or any of the others in the entire 'administration')? Has he run outta mulligans or something?
'Bongino 'has no credibility'? How does that make him any different than any other Trump appointee? 🙄
Anyway . . . 'FBI sources: Kash Patel, Dan Bongino likely out soon'
'Insiders told Salon that pressure has been mounting against Patel from inside the FBI. White House officials, on background, said that Trump “wouldn’t be all that upset” to see Patel go.
'According to three different sources inside the FBI, the once-respected federal law enforcement agency is “in shambles.” Morale is at an “all-time low,” said one 30-year veteran, adding, “The cause is at the top.”
'Staffers say that Bongino’s office has been empty for “close to two weeks,” indicating he has already left the agency. No such announcement has been made, however, and Bongino remains active on social media. On Monday, he reposted news of the FBI’s arrest of four alleged members of a pro-Palestinian group accused of planning a New Year’s Eve bombing attack on Los Angeles.
“Nobody here will miss him,” one of the staffers said. “He has no credibility.”
Fucking brother. 🙄 Did Bongino finally buckle under the immense pressure of sitting in an office four several hours a day "staring at four walls"? Was it bleeding into the time he spends fooling his YouTube audience into believing that a normal hairline starts at the back of your head?
The story I heard is that PAB doesn't want the same stories as last time about the constant churn in his administration, so he decided he wouldn't fire anyone for a year. Year's almost up.
Somewhat nice time, at least, from a medical perspective.

I love Ashland. It is so weird
Like a mini portland for the east. They even got a sign that says "Ashland, the center of the universe"
edit: Also, that is the shelter we got percy from!
That should pay for a twelve-step program.

Old school carburetor, which connects to the manifolds. The rubber connector boots wear out, which is a problem.
Mechanic: “Well, that’s your problem right there.”
The problem seems manifold.
lol. It’s actually the connector thingies. But let’s not quibble.
What are your delivery instructions?
"My unit is on the south side of the courtyard. PLEASE RING THE DOORBELL!"
You need a sign on your door "Deliveries please ring bell."
Gold lettering in a script font should do it
I hear it works for dementia patients
Yeah. Fucking stucco walls.
a bunch of companies laid off some folk a month or two ago (three?) and it got me wondering if the "processing" thing this year is that. Like they do not have enough workers for the demand so they just say they are "processing" for a lot longer than it used to be.
But shareholder value, so it's all good
It's all of that A1 that's replacing real warm blooded workers. It does not work. But the oligarchs have a huge steak in it.
A huge steak? Fuck em, let them eat gruel like the rest of us.
If they gave up their steaks they wouldn't need A1. (I hate A1 on steaks--or anywhere else. It tastes like warm Pepsi.)

oh so now it is national security and they can't talk about it
This is how they get around everything when questioned—they invoke the sacred "national security" and no one is allowed to ask again.
Of course. It will never be built, and the next President will have to clean up Donnie Dipshit's mess.
Well, yeah -- the entrance to the WH bunker is under the remains of the East Wing. They need to put *something* up there.
I don't see how it gets done in this administration.

Most people know who he is but not her. Not uncommon. If Kim kardashian marries a lesser known person it would be KK and her husband as a headline
Please don't mention Kim and Michelle in the same breath. And of course it's not uncommon, my point is it SHOULD NOT BE.
She must have been an astounding woman!
Yes. 35 years of marriage too, my parents lasted 50, it's so rare.
Some, not all. And I agree ... her advocacy deserves recognition. But, then again, remember who is running the MSM ... a group of white, rich, teeny peened misogynists.
Having been a TV reporter, producer, and a writer for a national network, I always have an urge to defend some parts of the MSM. But those “parts” are getting more and more rare.
I did start with "some."
It still astounds me that an accomplished woman still gets "second billing" just because she is married to someone.
Sadly, not me.
This bothers me, too. (Including the headline on this post)
At least Wonkette mentioned Rob's "wife's" name in the first graf.
