Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

Polar night progress report: 11.5 weeks until the sun rises on the island, and then another 3 weeks after that before it is visible in town over the mountains. It's been 4.5 weeks since it set.

(Don't ask how I'm coping with the dark because the answer is the sky looks like this and I am thriving)

"All these workers have ever tried to do is discuss their pay and conditions to improve them, so they can make a game loved by millions."
EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

Heads up - usually after I put out this call I've had 200 emails already. This time, so far, it's just a handful!

While the grown ups at Kotaku are all off distracted thanking turkeys or whatever it is they do, I wanna promote as many unknown indies as I can!
Hello indies! It's almost Thanksgaming 2025!

If you have an unknown indie project in dev or just released, please could you email me at [email protected] with the subject "THANKSGAMING 2025", and a store page and YouTube link? I'll put as many as I can on Kotaku.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I took a job one day a week in education admin for an escape from the kids. Then fell in love with game dev brains just as the GFC destroyed the local industry. I rebooted IGDA Melbourne so devs could commiserate together and hatch new plans.

Hey authors! Check to see if Anthropic stole your book to train their slop generator on. You’re entitled to $1500 per stolen Work.

MG just slashed MG4 EV prices again — the Excite 51 is now $37,990 drive-away and comes with 1000kWh of Evie charging.
It’s basically: “buy an EV, get a year of road trips for free.”
Competition from BYD & Ora is heating up… and MG’s response is: “Fine. Here’s a discount AND electricity.”
