China is rapidly gaining an edge over the U.S. in biotechnology, particularly in drug and agricultural development. The Harvard Belfer Center identified biotech as the sector where China has the most opportunity to overtake the U.S.

U.S. biotech hubs like Cambridge and Boston are experiencing layoffs and empty labs. China's biotech industry strengths include its dominance in pharmaceutical production and manufacturing, more human talent.

Joe Biden has officially responded to President Trump launching an investigation into who ran the White House while Old Joe was in office. And what Biden said next should be an insult to everyone’s intelligence.

I watched the 2010 freedom flotilla livestream their own executions. I couldn't understand a world that would ignore something like that. Now I have a cold certainty that it will be ignored again.

'According to a UN report, all activist deaths were caused by gunshots, and "the circumstances of the killing of at least six of the passengers were in a manner consistent with an extra-legal, arbitrary and summary execution'

The Path That Waited for Me

I walked alone, once—
not because I lacked love,
but because I had not yet learned
the sound of my own steps.

There were no maps,
only wind in the trees
and the press of footprints
too old to follow.

I carried all I thought I needed:
the ache of past years,
a rusted kind of pride,
and questions folded like paper cranes
I never dared to open.

But the forest didn't ask for answers.
It asked for presence.
The stones beneath my feet
taught me weight.
The silence showed me
how to listen without needing to speak.

And in that long, slow wandering—
where no hand held mine,
no voice called me home—
I found myself turning
to my own breath for company.

When I returned,
I was no longer searching.
I saw her—my wife—
not as a missing half,
but as a mirror
that did not distort me.

Love, real love,
came not from escape,
but from returning whole.

Car carrier sailing from China carrying #EVs catches fire in Pacific Ocean

Günter reshared this.

A financially motivated group of hackers is having a roaring success targeting Salesforce instances for “large-scale data theft and subsequent extortion” using social engineering techniques, warned Google this week.

The group has “demonstrated repeated success in breaching networks by having its operators impersonate IT support personnel in convincing telephone-based social engineering engagements” including within what it described as “English-speaking branches of multinational corporations.”

thestack.technology/vicious-vi…

A ship filled with 3160 ChiComm made cars - including 65 EV and 600 Hybrids is burning in the pacific Ocean - fire started in the EV section.

This is the 3rd ship that caught fire because of EV battery failures.

Fire suppression system didn't stop the fire.

Even better: the ship is carrying 350 metric tons of fuel oil and 1500 metric tons of gas.

Crew has abandoned ship.

EV's are dangerous because when the battery goes - there's very little that can be done except watch the fireworks as the Lithium Ion battery goes into thermal-runaway. Not so green.

At this rate, Kazakhstan will soon be able to produce more advanced chips than the US.

The Blue Danube Waltz sent into the stars

On 31 May, a live performance of The Blue Danube – often referred to as the ‘anthem of space’ – was transmitted by the European Space Agency (ESA) into the vastness of space. The event marked a double celebration: ESA’s 50th anniversary and the 200th birthday of the King of Waltz Johann Strauss II.

I just concluded a very good phone call with President Xi, of China, discussing some of the intricacies of our recently made, and agreed to, Trade Deal. The call lasted approximately one and a half hours, and resulted in a very positive conclusion for both Countries. There should no longer be any questions respecting the complexity of Rare Earth products. Our respective teams will be meeting shortly at a location to be determined. We will be represented by Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and United States Trade Representative, Ambassador Jamieson Greer. During the conversation, President Xi graciously invited the First Lady and me to visit China, and I reciprocated. As Presidents of two Great Nations, this is something that we both look forward to doing. The conversation was focused almost entirely on TRADE. Nothing was discussed concerning Russia/Ukraine, or Iran. We will inform the Media as to scheduling and location of the soon to be meeting. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

A brain implant just let a paralyzed man walk again — with no body movement required.
At Lausanne University Hospital in Switzerland, a man who had been paralyzed from the waist down for over a decade just took steps again — not with exoskeletons or braces, but by using a digital bridge between his brain and spinal cord.
Neurosurgeons implanted two wireless devices: one on his motor cortex (inside his skull) and one on his spinal cord.

3/3
The system uses machine learning to decode brain signals in real-time and adapts over time to match the patient's movement goals. It's not just a tool — it's an extension of the nervous system.
And as incredible as it sounds, the man’s original spinal cord function began showing signs of natural reconnection after several weeks, suggesting that stimulation may promote healing too.
Neurotechnology has reached a point where thought alone can resurrect motion — even after years of silence.

The hallmark of genius? Benefiting yourself and others.

The hallmark of idiocy? Failing at both simultaneously.

"The essential characteristic of Western civilization that distinguishes it from the arrested and petrified civilizations of the East was and is its concern for freedom from the state. The history of the West, from the age of the Greek polis down to the present-day resistance to socialism, is essentially the history of the fight for liberty against the encroachments of the officeholders."

-- Ludwig Von Mises
(1881-1973) Economist and social philosopher

Finding computer equipment that respects user freedom and owner control can feel a lot like squeezing water out from stone. You may be one of a few of us who have tepidly followed the developments surrounding RISC-V since its inception last decade. And it looks like the fruits of those efforts are finally coming to bear.

“Once a matter has become, in one way or another, the subject of regulation by the United Nations, be it by resolution or the General Assembly or by convention between member States [Nations] at the insistence of the United Nations, that subject ceases to be a matter being 'essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of the member States...'”

This is deliberate and open starvation as a weapon of war. Israel has made these food hubs the only method of obtaining food aid, refusing to let aid agencies in. And the world stands by. I am deeply ashamed of my own government for supporting these genocidaires.
