I’m hoping this fucks up Lady Gaga’s chances at an Oscar this year, seeing as how she not only collaborated on a song with him a couple of years ago, but also made a video with him and Terry Richardson that was so fucking creepy her own people were like “honey no we cannot put this out there”, AND THEN had the…

While UberOmega might be exaggerating the consequences, it was still an incredibly irresponsible thing that He Jankui did. No one fully understands the ramifications of the modifications he did. Now, if these babies are born, they could potentially be genetically compromised in some way. 

The ethics surrounding the downstream existential risks of CRISPR can’t be overlooked and should not be minimized or taken likely.

Her only qualification for the job was that Trump thought her dad was good at being a sanctimonious asshole on the teavee. That’s what this family has managed to produce: a hypocritical religious-whackjob slimeball, a psycopathic animal abuser, and the most brazen bald-faced liar of a Press Secretary ever to grace the…

Well, as noted in the article, the specific gene modification would theoretically make them more vulnerable to influenza, which is actually a far more likely thing to get exposed to than HIV. To knowingly make that tradeoff (without really being sure of either side of it) is pretty concerning, especially since…

You know how when people can’t find anything nice to say about a person who has few redeeming qualities, they will sometimes say, “She’s a good person, though.”

Ok first, are you familiar with the word “potentially?” That’s the whole point of this. We don’t know because he recklessly proceeded before we can have a reasonable grasp on the potential side effects here.

There are several studies out there demonstrating that CRISPR-edited cells are more likely to become cancerous.  As these children have every cell in their bodies edited, there’s a good likelyhood of them developing early cancers and... you know, dying.

and only 60% of the US!

This is bare-minimum good. I’m glad she’s not going to spend her life behind bars, but she’s still going to be in prison through August 2019 and on parole (somewhat of an open-air prison) for 10 years. That’s not true freedom, that’s punishment by another name.

This is lovely. I’m happy for that lady and hope that she can find a way to build something like a life now.

She should never have seen the inside of a cell. She should have received a pardon, not just a commutation. She should be going home TODAY. Even in spite of that, I’m sobbing knowing that Cyntoia is finally getting her freedom.

It would seem something is about to hit the news that Trump wants to bury. Hmmm, wonder what illegal new crap Trump and/or his administration have to doing.

They can have the beach house if they take the nazis with them.

Fine. Bring back the Fairness Doctrine and watch as FOX News loses 90% of its viewer base.

No, she plans to finance it by increasing taxes on the ultra-rich. You're thinking of the GOP.

It still blows my mind to try to figure out what the hell is wrong with a woman dancing. Is this Salem in 1641 or something?

Typical conversation with a Republican in 2019:

No, she plans to pay for it by clawing back the $2 trillion giveaway to the nation’s richest that has already jacked up the deficit.

Cooper’s reaction should be evidence enough of just how deep the corruption in our society goes, that when someone tries to change things for the better it is supposed “good guys” like him that prove to be stumbling blocks arguing in favor of policies that have made us miserable failures and a laughing stock on the…
