"an mRNA cancer vaccine developed at the University of Florida successfully reprogrammed patientsβ immune systems to fiercely attack glioblastoma, the most aggressive and lethal brain tumor" through "...use of a patientβs own tumor cells to create a personalized vaccine...."
FUCK CANCER. And let's see anti-vaxxers reject *this* one.

Reprinted and back in stock on our website: STUPID GUY GOES TO INDIA, an autobiographical manga chronicling the adventures of Yukichi Yamamatsu, whose missionary zeal for spreading manga culture inspired him to leave Japan for the first time at the age of 56 to move to Delhi, without knowing any English or Hindi, and try to start a publishing company. Hilarious hi-jinks ensue!

on the other end, if you personally hadn't opted out of binding arbitration, and a class-action suit comes up (and wins), would the court be cross-referencing class-action members to the list of opters-out, and be like, "nope, Person Z didn't opt out, they aren't allowed to claim damages"?
i'm sure there's some way that's actually illegal, but i'd bet you, nobody's actually gone to court about it before, and they'd have a hell of a time proving that's what the company did.
whenever a company does their "binding arbitration with opt-out" thing, does opting out of it actually legally do anything? is there any reason the company won't just take all the email requests to opt-out of arbitration, and throw them at the next data-collection vendor that happens by? like, "here is a guaranteed batch of users who are computer-savvy enough to hang out in places that know how to opt-out of binding arbitration, ergo, your new audience"
Mistodon: the occasion observed today, #CleanUpYourRoom Day, might be in some tenuous way related to yesterday's memorial for lost socks. (Hint: they're under your bed!) This #ANSIart illustration by AdeptApril hammers the point home. (Well, the shelves are nice and clean!)
