I urge people to not give their DNA to corporations. Once the corporation goes into receivership, the Nazis will buy your DNA data. Your entire family, including people you've never met, will become fodder for their racial animus, and will be targeted.
Please stop. Use your heads. Fascism isn't a fun game.

After 17 Years, DNA Tied a Man to Her Rape. Under Massachusetts Law, It Was Too Late.

Massachusetts has one of the strictest deadlines in the country for prosecuting rape. After the 15-year mark, no DNA match, testimony or even confession can give a rape victim a chance of facing their attacker in court.

I had a great time at the most excellent #why2025 camp! Here a write-up of my own #DNA talks (with links to video & annotated slides), some observations on the tremendously terrible state of security & regulation, and what we could do about it, plus some nice photos!

Imagine a team of archaeologists excavating a megalithic tomb near Malmö. Everyone's old South Scandinavian peasant stock except for one person who was born to Sardinian immigrants.
Only one of the diggers is closely related to the megalith builders: the Sardinian Swede. Because old South Scandinavian peasant stock only arrived with the Corded Ware culture, long after the tomb was built. Sardinia is the main place where the meg builder genetics survive.
