The autopsy: a time-proven, reliable, and relatively inexpensive process to inform and assist the living, and one which provides an important societal safeguard. #ForensicPathology #DeathInvestigationMatters

A previously healthy 71-year-old crop farmer presented to the ophthalmology clinic with a 2-month history of foreign-body sensation, redness, and blurred vision in his eyes. Slit-lamp examination showed conjunctival injection, corneal epithelial erosions, and motile, whitish roundworms in the superior and inferior conjunctival fornices of both eyes.

Status epilepticus roboticus.
🇨🇳 A robot lost control in front of everyone at Beijing’s 2026 World Robot Conference, footage shows the machine thrashing hard on the floor after its remote reportedly died.
Operators rushed in and it still struggled to power down.

I was asked to write a briefing paper for someone high up whom I won't name. It has also been suggested I made it public so I have put it on my blog, here (mephitis.co/post/briefing-pa…). Feel free to use it, make suggestions, let me know of any errors, etc.
