The riff-raff have brought us a graft grift.

Maybe I'm being too cynical. It wouldn't be the first time this week that someone drew a spooky picture, would it?

Oh no, are you mad at me? (j/k!!)

CRITIHYPE, thank you! I couldn't find the word!

If I had to guess a motive, it would be to bring mirror biology out of the obscurity of pure research (who funds that anymore?) and to instead plant it firmly into the popular zeitgeist as a "scary thing" that needs to be defended against. This can lead to it becoming a trendy topic, and therefore fundable by grant-awarding agencies.

I read the headline yesterday and thought, "This is 100% fundraising bullshit."

If Marc Andressen gets in some sort of public trouble, could we call it the TPOT-Dome Scandal?

as someone who grew up in an "old timey" baptist church, I am 100% comfortable with someone yelling things at me that I agree with, but ymmv.

Looks like a local boy did good.

I linked the /r/nashville post since it has a good description of the website. Users can see a history of rent prices for a given property and its neighbors, which gives some leverage in negotiations. For more context, local rent prices are down 6% from highs.

I'm curious to see if it takes off, and how robust it is against adversarial tactics like bogus reports and nuisance lawsuits.

John Mulaney gets paid by prompt fondlers to tell jokes at a party. He spends 45 minutes telling them that they are idiots, which is nice.
