   I feel like I see this headline ever 2 months. it's like cancer research. lots of fluff, never any progress. then you get the alien people saying it's cuz they're hiding aliens. i'm exhausted.

      It’s hard to believe in 2026 someone would bemoan that nothing has progressed in cancer research. Cancer has no single cure, but survival durations are absurdly crazy for most common cancers compared to 30 years ago. Current treatments are like science fiction and are extraordinarily effective. The horizon is remarkable as well. It’s genuinely surprising to hear someone say “never any progress” re: cancer.

      I’ve nothing to say about Egyptian tombs though.
