DRACO: Death to the Virus
In a paper published 27 July [1], researchers from MIT reported successful tests in mice with a new drug that holds the promise of being a cure to all viruses.

Among the Brain-Washed and Abused
This post is a follow up to an earlier post detailing some of my encounters and conversations with people who believe they have been abducted by aliens.

… and Six Thousand Steps Back
The most recent act of scared-pigmy-ism in Texas is really wearing thinly upon me; it evokes feelings akin to what i feel due to those people who don’t really want to work, but would like to receive all sorts of benefits derived from the income tax system.
