A Gigantic Fart Derailed RFK Jr.’s NYC Press Dinner: Report
Published Jul. 12, 2023 10:19PM EDT
Presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. threw a press dinner on Tuesday night that devolved into a shouting match between two elderly men—a bizarre conflict that reportedly ended with a prolonged bout of flatulence. As relayed by a Page Six reporter who was present, the mess started after a guest asked Kennedy a question about the environment, an innocent-enough inquiry that enraged former gossip columnist Doug Dechert, the—reportedly drunk—host of the whole event. “The climate hoax!” Dechert started to yell. His senile screams drew the ire of his longtime friend, art critic Anthony Haden-Guest, who wasted no time condemning Dechert and pleading for him to “shut up.” But Dechert was relentless, continuing to rant about the “scam” of climate change while Haden-Guest disparaged him with insults, calling him “fucking insane” and “insignificant.” That’s when Dechert brought out his secret weapon: a booming fart that he released while shouting, “I’m farting!” All the while, RFJ Jr. calmly watched the gaseous chaos unfold. Dechert said the following to Page Six about the incident: “I apologize for using my flatulence as a medium of public commentary in your presence.”

Source: The GuardianRead more: https://www.theguardian.com/science/202 ... first-timeScientists have grown humanized kidneys in pigs, raising the prospect of human organs being grown inside animals.
The research involved creating human-pig chimeric embryos containing a combination of human and pig cells. When transferred into surrogate pig mothers, the developing embryos were shown to have kidneys that contained mostly human cells, marking the first time that scientists have grown a solid humanized organ inside another animal.
“Rat organs have been produced in mice, and mouse organs have been produced in rats, but previous attempts to grow human organs in pigs have not succeeded,” said the senior author Liangxue Lai, of the Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Wuyi University. “Our approach improves the integration of human cells into recipient tissues and allows us to grow human organs in pigs.”
The kidneys were not entirely human as they included vasculature and nerves made mostly from pig cells, meaning they could not be used for transplantation in their current form. It is not clear whether the challenge of making a wholly human organ would be achievable with current genetic engineering techniques.

Government to replace HS2 rail link to Manchester with brand new horse and cart
1 day ago
The government has today revealed plans to scrap the HS2 rail link from Birmingham to Manchester in favour of a brand new horse and cart fleet for the north.
With news emerging earlier that the northern leg of the link could now be scrapped due to rising costs, government officials have quickly moved to reassure northerners that they haven’t been forgotten and will be provided with up to THREE new horse and carts for travel around the area, along with a new canal boat.
A Spokesperson for the government confirmed, “You’re welcome.
“We can confirm today that we will be scrapping the HS2 link for northerners, because they don’t vote for us anyway, so frankly who gives a shit what they think.
“However, we will be offering an alternative for the people of the north in the form of some horse and carts to get around their cobbled streets and take them up to the mill or whatever it is they do up there.”
