Framed for Murder By His Own DNA
– 'We leave traces of our genetic material everywhere, even on things we’ve never touched. That got Lukis Anderson charged with a brutal crime he didn’t commit.'

'...In the years since, van Oorschot's lab has been one of the few to investigate this phenomenon, dubbed "secondary transfer." What they have learned is that, once it's out in the world, DNA doesn't always stay put.

[....] Although the volunteers never touched each other, one third wound up with another’s DNA on their palm. A third of the glasses bore DNA of volunteers who did not touch nor drink from them...'

where is #Mastodon?, or rather, what would Mastodon's graphic be in this?

Lessons from the Meme Factory's R&D subcommittee..

Facebook sent a doctor on a secret mission to ask hospitals to share patient data
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/05/facebook-building-8-explored-data-sharing-agreement-with-hospitals.html
• Facebook was in talks with top hospitals and other medical groups as recently as last month about a proposal to share data about the social networks of their most vulnerable patients.

• The idea was to build profiles of people that included their medical conditions, information that health systems have, as well as social and economic factors gleaned from Facebook.

• Facebook said the project is on hiatus so it can focus on "other important work, including doing a better job of protecting people's data."

the best meme explaining #USA politics that I have seen in a while 👍

'I'm not on Facebook' the new 'I'm a vegan'

'A man who has ‘deleted’ his Facebook account seems to be under the impression that everyone is interested in that fact.

[....] He told us, “I’m telling everyone I meet that I’ve left Facebook, even the postman, but very few people seem that interested. What I really need is a good way to get the message out, to a lot of the people I know, and very quickly.

“It’s been hard, because the obvious place to tell everyone you’ve left Facebook, is on Facebook. But you can’t use Facebook to announce you’ve left Facebook.

“I did the whole ‘I’m leaving Facebook’ before I left Facebook, but I can’t check how many people have seen or commented because I’ve now left Facebook.”

Facebook are said to be ‘unconcerned’ by the threat of users leaving the platform, explaining the risk was ‘very low’...'

Rojava: Urgent Message from an Anarchist Comrade in Afrin #Syria

'...Comrades, we need your help more than everything. Its a life or death situation. This invasion isnt only about Afrin nor Rojava/Assyria/N. Syria but Erdogan wants to invade also the whole border territory, including Iraq’s Ezidistan (Zoroaster Kurdish lands /Sinjar), Ninewah (Iraqi Assyria), Turkmeneli (Iraqi Shia Turkomans) and Iraqi Kurdistan’s Qandil mountains area (PKK’s HQ and dissidents and opressed people’s refugee villages and camps). Its clearly IMPERIALISM and he wants to destroy everything and massacre every people he just hate...'

It feels like the entire 'left' has been overtaken by conspiracizing as analysis and 'à la carte' facts as knowledge – and people share RT links as 'alternative media' –– we are doomed. Rant over.
