“Randomizing newborns to no hepatitis B vaccine at birth in order to evaluate “overall health effects” of an intervention whose primary benefit is already known is indefensible. When benefit is established, withholding an intervention is no longer neutral experimentation; [it is] premeditated harm”
The planned hepatitis B birth-dose trial in Guinea-Bissau raises serious ethical concerns. Withholding a proven, life-saving vaccine from newborns to answer speculative questions is an absence of equipoise with real downstream harms for trust in vaccines.

I'm not familiar with the rest of them but Shapeshifters.co is a TINY business and made all of my binders before I had top surgery. They're amazing and don't have lawyer money I suspect because: tiny.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Really loved Murderbot. Like a lot of folks last week before renewal was announced, I feared we'd get a cliffhanger and not a satisfying arc, but they really stuck the landing....
What a triumph. A love letter to the horror and absurdity of being human.
