  Craig Venter, a key figure in sequencing the human genome, has died at age 79. Venter's company, Celera Genomics, attempted to use faster, cheaper methods to sequence human genetic code before the government-funded Human Genome Project was completed. https://www.npr.org/2026/04/30/nx-s1-5805891/craig-venter-decoding-human-genome-dies-79

  When I was in the first grade, I remember that our teacher had us read a short picture book about a farmer, his pig, his cow, his horse, and his duck. Then she asked the class a simple question: how many animals were on the farm? Everybody raised their hand for the answer "there were four animals on the farm." Except for me.

  Can any of the developers who follow me here possibly help this person out by submitting a bug report to Threads about this? I don't know how to or I would. (Cross posted with permission from the OP.)

  Sigh. Ok, I’ll say it. If you’re one of the folks grandstanding about how uniquely evil rightwingers are, and talking about the importance of protecting your community, all while pretending this ongoing pandemic isn’t killing and disabling your neighbors & their kids, and forcing people out of society, making it so they can’t even go to the fucking doctor, you are not a serious person—and you are not a good person either.
