Between 2020 and 2024, no cervical cancer deaths were recorded in women aged 20 to 24
- the first time that had happened over a five-year period.
Without vaccination, around 23 deaths would have been expected.
"It's incredible to think that a single jab can almost eliminate a particular type of cancer,"
said Prof Peter Sasieni, the lead researcher at Queen Mary University of London.

I have one for #GrindayFriday this week. This is one man deathgrind project NAILGUT from Kelowna, British Columbia, and their brief 4 song EP 'Distorted Perceptions of Reality' from 2024. It's nasty, grody, grindy, sludgy stuff with chainsaw guitars and bashing drums. I love it.

"Some designs of emojis are very different for the same codepoint, especially the ones depicting emotions/reactions. Examples coming to mind are 😨, 🔫. What are your thoughts on this?" - The (water) pistol 🔫 was originally a hand gun which looked a lot more real. In response to its frequent use in criminal or other unsavory contexts (e.g., as a threat), most platforms replaced it with the colorful plastic toy gun design in 2018. (In 2024, Elon Musk had it turned back into a realistic hand gun for the Twemoji design 🙄)
I'm torn. On the one hand, I don't think we can stay on top of all potential uses of emojis (or should even try to limit them) and people who want to use emojis for threats probably can still do so. On the other hand, I do find it rather hard to imagine that the green plastic 🔫 could be used as a threat... so... I guess good job, designers/tech firms? #emojis #linguistics #WorldEmojiDay

Interesting to compare the author Neal Stephenson's profiles on X/twitter vs. Bluesky.
He has 89,4 K followers on X, where he still posts, but just under 10 K on Bluesky, where he doesn't post at all.
He has many fans on the fediverse who discuss his books, but he is not here.

The interior department is canceling a rule that put conservation on equal footing with development,
as Donald Trump’s administration eases restrictions on industries and seeks to boost drilling, logging, mining and grazing on taxpayer-owned land.
The 2024 rule adopted under former president Joe Biden was meant to refocus the interior department’s Bureau of Land Management,
which oversees about 10% of land in the US.

In the central Netherlands, this was the 5th (or possibly 6th) warmest spring in the 126-year record. It was also sunny and dry.
Probably quite popular with many, but a clear sign of our changing climate. Personally, I've come to dislike hot weather in May; happy that it has cooled down now.

Area Theorems and Quasiconformal Extensions of Harmonic Mappings with a Pole
Zhijun Chen, Limei Wang
https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.03306 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.03306 https://arxiv.org/html/2606.03306
arXiv:2606.03306v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In this paper, we study the class \Sigma_{H}^{k}(p) of sense-preserving univalent harmonic mappings in the unit disk \mathbb{D} that possess a simple pole at p\in[0,1) and admit a k-quasiconformal extension to the extended complex plane for k\in[0,1). In 2024, Bhowmik and Satpati established an area theorem and derived a sufficient condition for the k-quasiconformal extension of harmonic mappings belonging to \Sigma_{H}^{k}(p) without logarithmic terms. Motivated by their work, we investigate the corresponding problem when a logarithmic singularity is present. Our main contributions are two-fold: we first prove a generalized area theorem for all mappings in \Sigma_{H}^{k}(p); we then obtain a sufficient condition for sense-preserving univalent harmonic mappings in \mathbb{D} to admit explicit k-quasiconformal extensions. These results extend the aforementioned work to the setting where logarithmic singularities are allowed.
