      What I find wryly amusing is that Thiel, by his own words, has read the LotR 40 times or something yet names his surveillance company after the object that Sauron used to both spy on and corrupt others.

      Sauron did not make them though.

      Fëanor did.

        Maybe we should be grateful we’ve moved past the rank hypocrisy in giving things benign, market friendly names when they actually do or intend the opposite. I look forward to the reading of the “We’re Going to Fuck You Over Act (2025)”.

            Ramsdell could not be reached by Reuters – nor by Brunkow or Bluestone, with Bluestone saying he may be on a hiking trip in an area without cell phone reception… Among companies in the early race, Ramsdell’s Sonoma Biotherapeutics is partly funded, opens new tab and supported by U.S. drugmaker Regeneron (REGN.O), opens new tab to work on therapies against diseases including inflammatory bowel disease.

            Also targeting that condition, Quell Therapeutics, opens new tab has partnered with AstraZeneca (AZN.L), opens new tab. Other biotech firms exploring the approach include Bayer’s (BAYGn.DE), opens new tabBlueRock

            Sounds like a lot of money at stake here. I sure hope Ramsdell makes it home okay from his incommunicado hiking trip…

                Keep in mind that one recipient is incommunicado, out hiking in an apparently very remote area. Anything could happen to him out there…

                      Why so slow? Anyone else having problems loading pages? My connection is good at 650 up and down but most websites are super slow.

                      I was going to blame Lithu.

                        I’ve noticed nothing but that I could not DL from youtube when I was in town for a few hours in the morning. Out on the farm, connection is just as shitty as ever.

                        It’s probably MicroSoft’s fault wit the Win11 BS,

                        Or the Russians.
