DNA evidence is *very* extremely conclusive.

There is a problem though: even though the odds of a false match are like one in a billion, laboratory error is not.

It is illegal to mention this.

Pretty much all the pig procedurals you've seen for the last two decades delighted in showing you forensics that are about as real as phrenology.

Millions and millions of jurors persuaded by this deliberate copaganda
How the junk science of hair analysis keeps people behind bars
The technique, developed before DNA testing, can’t definitively tie suspects to crime scenes. Try explaining that to juries — or some judges.

Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience.

Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense.

They admitted it.

So I was made aware of this today: a swedish children's book called Lisa väntar på bussen (Lisa waits for the bus), made by Sven Nordqvist, the creator of Pettson and Findus series.

Are you a Mary Renault toxic lesbian fujoshi (hated apartheid but was also a homophobe" ex Tolkien student or a Diana Wynne Jones "every book I have ever written for chilldren encouraging anti authoritarianism keeps being mistaken for cottagecore settler belief" ex Tolkien student
Thinking abt how Tolkien was a fan of Mary Renault (his ex student BTW). And he wrote abt being "deeply engaged" with her work. It lives completely rent free in my mind. Like she almost exclusively wrote twinks from the ancient near east edging. This is like if GRRM was a huge fan of MXTX.

If you have two minutes free right now, call Netflix and leave a comment in support of this programming and ask them to stand up for their shows against political pressure.

Phone number is 1-866-952-4456, and I waited less than a minute before a human picked up.
1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

Hi! Did you know that you aren’t pronouncing axolotl correctly?

Suppression of indigenous languages by the Spanish is one of the Four Wounds of Colonization. This is a small subversion of colonial power you can use!
