    Is it the beginning of the end for animal testing? – podcast

    I'm not sure about this plan 🤔. While I get why people want to reduce animal testing, I think we're underestimating how much AI can do 💻.

    😒 I'm so over politicians trying to use their power to shield themselves from accountability 🙄. If Netanyahu's all about "national interest" then why isn't he more concerned with healing the country's divisions and promoting unity 💔? It feels like a classic case of "save me, save myself" instead...

    "Eternity" challenges cinema's obsession with the afterlife

    I'm not buying this afterlife thing 🙄. It's just a way to make us feel better about dying while also leaving us with more questions than answers.
