Simple breakdown: We’ve had this cancer drug for years. We just kept saving it for when cancer was already advanced. Someone tried giving it first instead and in one type of rectal cancer, ~70% never needed surgery, radiation or chemo.

If you got kidnapped today, the British Government would never do anything like this for you. Even if the SAS wanted to, the politicians would just dither in press conferences for years whilst you rot. Good luck to you, Bukele.

RIP to cancer we literally just had a cancer drug that could eliminate surgery, radiation and chemo get FDA approved the drug is dostarlimab, an immunotherapy for one genetic subtype of rectal cancer in the trial, 47% of evaluable patients had no detectable tumor a year after treatment (independent review) colorectal is one of the top cancer killers of men under 50 the acceleration in frontier bio in 2026 is genuinely mindblowing bio/acc

this California wealth tax thing is just incredible. so in October 2025, a California healthcare union proposed a "one time" 5% tax on any billionaire's wealth. the ballot measure will be voted on next month. In early December 2025, California announced that it would be a retroactive tax if passed, applying to anyone with CA residency as of Jan 1, 2026. The objective is to pay for Medi-Cal, California's incredibly dysfunctional healthcare system. (which also functions as a glorified welfare apparatus, but that's a discussion for another time). polls reveal that the CA electorate is split around 50/50 on the tax, but prediction markets only give Prop 40 a ~23% chance of passing (there are competing measures on the ballet that would nullify it). there are 200 billionaires in CA, worth collectively somewhere between $2.3 and $2.6 trillion. 5% of that is around $100b, accounting for a small amount of attrition. proponents of the tax forecasted a significant windfall, assuming only a 10% departure rate. supporters thought they were being clever with the retroactive concept. no billionares would leave CA in the few short months between the tax being proposed and the residency cutoff date, without the tax even having passed yet, right? well as it turns out, they did. a new paper [1] from two academics at Stanford called "The Net Present Value of the California Billionaire Tax Act", argues that not only did more billionaires leave due to the proposed tax than its proponents expected, but that the value of the tax, if it does pass, is actually negative. proponents of the tax only assumed 10% avoidance, that is, only 10% of the taxable base of targeted billionaires would leave CA within the very short Oct-Dec 2025 window. Jaros and Rauh, the Stanford academics, find that a lower bound of 28.6% of the taxable base managed to leave. just based on known departures, those departures total $577b in net worth, or $28.8b in potential tax lost. this of course does not capture everyone (many left without announcing their departure), so the authors normalize to departure rates estimated from other wealth tax events, and apply other discounts for litigation, arriving arrive at a figure of only $28-$36b in forecasted tax revenues. but this isn't all! all of the income taxes paid by the departed billionaires are also forsaken. the authors estimate that CA billionaires pay $3.3- 5.8b in annual income taxes. they assume a midpoint of $2b lost in annual collections from departed billionaires. the net present value of that lost income stream is -$68.9 billion. so when you add it all up you get: + $30b one-time tax windfall (estimated) - $69b in present value of lost future income taxes = - 38.9b overall net present value of the tax of course, this analysis is highly estimate driven. the authors simulate the parameters 100k times and find a negative NPV of the implemented tax 85 percent of the time. and if the tax doesn't pass, which it's not looking like it will, California still ended up losing at least $577b in departed net worth, and they have permanently poisoned the well with entrepreneurs who will now worry about future wealth taxes.

President @EmmanuelMacron can you post this in Arabic so citizens of France can understand?

Ce n’est pas un début de guerre civile ça ?

They have a 300 ft Palestine flag hanging from the leaning tower of Piza and the mainstream media still can't figure out what these riots are really about. It's a mystery wrapped inside an enigma.

J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver. Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître. Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France. La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.

Fun fact: Not a single mosque was damaged during the riots in France

Primero dejé de coger el Metro en París, después dejé de visitar ciertos barrios, luego no salía a ciertas horas y ahora ya no voy a París. En Barcelona ya no visito ciertos barrios, no cojo algunas líneas. Si voy en transporte público cuido lo que me pongo...vamos hacia allí.

My politics are whatever punishes this with force

These fucking animals need put down.

They will destroy everything beautiful.
