Study: Using Light to Help Kill Cancer Cells
A paper by K.M. Freitag et al titled “Light-controlled disruption of cancer cell dormancy via photoswitchable stress hormone receptor degraders” published on 21 May 2026 discusses the potential to use light to help target cancer cells. The paper is about 11 pages long and, not surprisingly, the researchers are Swiss. The problem is that the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) “induces a reversible, drug-tolerant dormancy state in cancer cells”. One could destroy these GRs by sending

McConnell Watched “Lengthy and Substantial” World Cup Games
Washington DC – Senator Mitch McConnell’s staff has reassured that the 84-year-old is recovering and intends to return to work “but probably needs to first ask his Chinese wife when she gets back from her trip”. “I think this cardiac arrest has done him good,” said one staffer. “He managed to fit a hundred 20-minute conversations in a 24-hour period, which I thought was impossible.” Despite doing more work from the hospital bed than he had ever done before, that was not his m

Anime ● Review: Cyber City Oedo 808
Classic cyberpunk. The plot and characters are engaging enough, and the visuals are awesome. It deserves at least eight episodes rather than just three.

Film Review: Gladiator II
Follows the same template as the first film, which is fine in itself. It’s not bad but it is nothing special, so it comes across as an unnecessary sequel.

Film ● Review: Mickey 17
Good production. Looks good. Amusing. But the satire is not clever enough and for a black comedy, it is not black enough.

Chinese Boy Sick of Asian “Western-Style” Bakeries
Melbourne, Australia – A Chinese boy is totally sick of cakes made by Asian “western-style” bakeries. “It’s never sweet enough and the cream is not quite right—I don’t care whether it’s Hongkie, Taiwanese or Japanese,” said the boy. “Only their deep-fried bread is nice.” The boy also hates that French chestnut puree “because it tastes like artificially sweetened melted plastic and maybe brake fluid, and nothing like chestnut”. “And I don’t even like cakes,” he added. “My pare

It is claimed that black vans and heavy-lift helicopters arrived at various vote centers across the state with forklifts unloading numerous pallets. These reports are unverified. Local law enforcement has s
