Compton’s Cafeteria is one of the earliest examples of LGBTQ+ resistance. Today, a prison company occupies the site

One of the earliest documented examples of LGBTQ+ resistance against police happened on a hot summer night 60 years ago this month. It started not with the throwing of a brick, as it did in New York City’s 1969 Stonewall riots, but with the throwing of a coffee cup inside Compton’s Cafeteria in San Francisco.

When police attempted to raid Compton’s – a hub for the drag performers, trans people and sex workers in the city’s Tenderloin neighborhood – hundreds of people in the community fought back. A drag queen threw a coffee mug at a police officer; others threw dishes and chairs outside. It was the culmination of years of police harassment, arrests and violence against the community and the beginning of the city’s trans movement.

Promising Results for mRNA Cancer Vaccine from Moderna and Merck
Published: 2026-08-19 13:49:37 | Created: 2026-08-19 13:58:55
Moderna headquarters in Cambridge, Mass. —Boston Globe / Contributor—Getty Images

Cancer treatments have been veering toward more personalized approaches that recruit the immune system, and the latest results involving an mRNA-based therapy and an immunotherapy show that combining them may result in significant benefit for certain cancer patients.

In a release, the two companies report that people with melanoma who received intismeran, jointly developed by Moderna and Merck, and Merck’s pembrolizumab (Keytruda), lived longer without any recurrence of their cancer, as well as had fewer incidences of their cancer spreading, compared to those receiving Keytruda alone, which is the current standard treatment. Combining the two therapies seems to lead to better outcomes in this later-stage trial. Intismeran is not yet approved, while Keytruda was first approved to treat melanoma in 2014, and in 2019 to treat melanoma in people after tumors were removed. The current study included people in this latter group with stage 2 to stage 4 melanoma who were treated with either intismeran and Keytruda or Keytruda alone after surgeons removed the bulk of their tumors.

“What we’re trying to do here is to tell the immune system that it missed the signature of the tumor cell if you have cancer,” Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel tells TIME of intismeran. “This product basically allows us to teach the immune system about the mutation in your cancer that allows the cancer to grow.”

The study involved 1,137 people with stage 2 to stage 4 melanoma who received surgery then were randomly assigned to receive either the combination of therapies or Keytruda for just over a year. Intismeran is the first of its kind autogene therapy that relies on studying a patient’s cancer mutations, making mRNA sequences of those mutations and giving them back to the patient in so their immune systems can recognize the tumor signals in the same way it would a virus—in what's known as a therapeutic vaccine. One of the advantages of the mRNA platform is its ability to generate such genetic sequences relatively quickly, in a matter of weeks, which is essential for scaling up more personalized cancer treatment approaches. Keytruda works by unveiling the cancer cells, which can often hide from the immune system since they start out as normal cells before picking up mutations that make them grow out of control.

The companies did not provide specific details about the recurrence or survival rates, but earlier this year reported at ASCO, a major cancer conference, from an earlier stage study that showed that the combination lowered the risk of recurring melanoma by 49% and lowered the risk of distant spread of the cancer or death by 59%.

The latest results bring some good news to Moderna, which has seen its stock drop after reaching highs during the COVID pandemic following development of the first mRNA vaccine, against SARS-CoV-2. In 2025, Bancel laid off 10% of the workforce, amounting to 500 to 800 employees worldwide, after a combination of sagging sales from the COVID shot and loss of important government contracts to develop pandemic flu vaccines based on mRNA technology. In August, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first mRNA flu shot, developed by Moderna, but only after initially refusing to review the company’s submission.

Bancel says that Moderna is also exploring using intismeran alone, perhaps in earlier stage cancers. For the current trial, because intismeran is still an experimental therapy under study, and an approved therapy, Keytruda, does exist for melanoma patients, regulators at the FDA were more comfortable with combining the drugs so every patient received at least the standard of care and therefore would not be additionally harmed by joining the study. “It would be unethical for us to tell people to come on a study of something that we don’t know if it works, when people are fighting for their lives,” he says. “That’s why we did the study together with Keytruda, which can improve outcomes, and we tried to show that the combination was better, and we did.”

Bancel’s teams are already studying intismeran in stage 1 lung cancer, to see if using it earlier, and priming the immune system, can lead to equally beneficial outcomes for those people. In lung cancer, standard treatment involves surgery and careful monitoring for any signs of returning cancer, so doctors can ethically study how adding intismeran for some patients affects their cancer outcomes compared to those not receiving it. While that study is still in early stages, Bancel is optimistic since “from a scientific standpoint there is no scientific sense that it would work in melanoma and not work in another tumor type,” he says of the mRNA-based approach. “I think it will be transformational. Think about if you get a screening X-ray and find stage 1 lung cancer. Then you get intismeran, which is like a vaccine so you have no severe toxicity like with other immunotherapy. Think about getting this product on your way to work, or even [potentially] at your local pharmacy—that would be an incredible change in care. And it can help reduce the risk of metastasis, and have a profound impact on patients, as well as prevent people from getting very severe disease.”

Moderna is also studying intismeran in stage 3 lung cancer, and hoping to see similarly encouraging results as they did in melanoma patients. And its scientists are studying the compound in kidney, pancreas, and bladder cancers in nine ongoing studies, says Bancel.

“Because of all the things we learned over the years in the field of immunology, we believe this molecule will be used in many different cancer types,” he says.

Correction, Aug. 19

The original version of the story misstated which companies developed intismeran. It was jointly developed by Moderna and Merck, not solely by Moderna.

What’s Fixed and Improved in PyCharm 2026.2
Feed: The JetBrains Blog (https://blog.jetbrains.com/feed/)
Published: 2026-08-19 13:54:13 | Created: 2026-08-19 13:57:54

Across the PyCharm 2026.2 release line, we shipped 263 fixes and improvements. Many improve Python code insight directly, with more precise type inference, fewer false positives, smarter completion and imports, and more reliable refactoring. Here are some of the smaller changes you’re likely to notice in everyday Python development.


SQLAlchemy 2.0 support

SQLAlchemy has been a long-standing source of false positives – enough that several duplicate tickets have accumulated over the years. This release resolves a batch of them for the 2.0 style.

String forward-references inside Mapped[...] resolve correctly:

posts: Mapped[list["Post"]] = relationship(back_populates="author")

# "Post" now resolves to the model class

PyCharm also correctly infers the mapped type returned by Session.get(), instead of treating the result as the model class itself:

report = session.get(Report, report_id)

reveal_type(report)  # was: type[Report] | None   now: Report | None

Modern hybrid_property setters written as @name.inplace.setter are recognized, so assigning to the property no longer produces a warning. Model class attributes defined via mixins are picked up again, too, clearing the old unexpected argument reports on model constructors.

(PY-78816, PY-65142, PY-59732, PY-51906, PY-28762)


Code insight and type inference

Control-flow narrowing and “unreachable code”

Several false This code is unreachable reports and instances of lost narrowing across loops have been fixed. The common issue: flow analysis either gave up or over-eagerly narrowed to Never in branches it should have kept alive.

isinstance on a numeric union no longer kills the else branch:

def foo(y: int | float) -> None:

    if isinstance(y, float):

        pass

    else:

        print(y)  # was flagged unreachable, y inferred as Never

Narrowing also survives a while loop, so re-narrowing an optional attribute inside the loop body no longer reports a bogus has no attribute error.

(PY-83206, PY-83354, PY-88265)

Strings inside type annotations

A string used as metadata inside Annotated[...] – a Pydantic discriminator field name, for instance – is no longer parsed as a forward reference and flagged as unresolved.

(PY-48749, PY-82245)

Iterable unpacking and star expressions

PyCharm’s analysis of tuple and star unpacking could lose type information and fall back to Any. Unpacking a starred value into a tuple lost its element types, *-expansion collapsed to Any, and several genuine errors went unreported. Starred expressions preserve their element types:

def a() -> tuple[int, int]:

    return 2, 3

def b() -> tuple[int, int, int]:

    return (1, *a())  # no more bogus "Expected tuple[int, int, int]"

(PY-12592, PY-27205, PY-43585, PY-90219)

Augmented assignment

A cluster of false positives came from augmented assignments being misanalyzed. A simple /= on an int produced the wrong type:

foo = 5

foo /= 2

reveal_type(foo)  # was: int   now: float | int

(PY-80622)

Self and constructor return types

Self binds correctly through classmethod parameters typed as type[Self]:

class A:

    @classmethod

    def bar(cls, y: type[Self]) -> Self: ...

x = A.bar(A)      # was a spurious "Expected type[A], got type[A]"

reveal_type(x)    # was: Any   now: A

Construction also respects __new__, __init__, and metaclass __call__. When __new__ returns something other than an instance, that’s the constructed type – even when an __init__ is present. The same fix covers explicitly parameterized calls like MyClass[int]() and __new__ assigned as a class attribute.

(PY-89296, PY-77611, PY-88644, PY-89571)

Enum members: Literal types for .value and .name

Reading an enum member’s .value or .name yields a precise Literal instead of a widened str or int, so assignments to Literal[...] target type-check. This matches mypy’s inference:

from enum import Enum

from typing import Literal

class E(Enum):

    a = "a"

b: Literal["a"] = E.a.value   # was: Expected 'Literal["a"]', got 'str'

n: Literal["a"] = E.a.name    # .name is a Literal too

(PY-61028, PY-79198)

Parameter types inferred from decorators

When a decorator constrains the callable it accepts, the decorated function’s parameters are inferred from that constraint instead of falling back to Any:

from typing import Callable

def d(fn: Callable[[int], str]): ...

@d

def f(a):

    reveal_type(a)   # was: Any   now: int

(PY-79204)

Also fixed

  • Keyword arguments in a class header are validated against the base class’s __init_subclass__ signature, and offered in completion (PY-79173).
  • An ellipsis in a Callable used as a PEP 695 type-parameter bound no longer reports a bogus Invalid type expression (PY-83570).
  • Type-checker findings are split into granular suppression codes rather than a single PyTypeChecker id, and # noinspection directives accept a simplified name form. PyTypeChecker still works as a blanket ignore (PY-90265).

Completion and auto-import

Smarter auto-import 

Auto-import is now noticeably less noisy. Previously, if a module was already imported, PyCharm would offer to add a second, redundant import instead of qualifying through the one you already had. The quick-fix – and the completion popup – prefer to reuse the existing import.

Given pkg/src.py containing MyClass, and a file that already imports the module, Alt+Enter produces this:

from pkg import src  # no longer flagged as unused

src.MyClass

instead of adding from pkg.src import MyClass. The same reuse logic applies to plain import pkg.src, and to the auto-import completion on a second Ctrl+Space.

Nested classes can be auto-imported too, which is something PyCharm didn’t previously support:

# mod.py

class Outer:

    class Inner:

        pass

# main.py – Alt+Enter on Inner now offers "Import Outer from mod"

from mod import Outer

value = Outer.Inner()

(PY-87970, PY-87971, PY-87972, PY-88009, PY-88016)

Completion for unittest.mock.patch() targets

Patching by string target previously offered no code assistance, so dotted paths had to be entered manually. The string argument to mock.patch(...) gets code completion for modules, classes, and their attributes, and it no longer suggests the invalid as keyword mid-path:

from unittest import mock

# sample.py defines: class Foo: my_attr = 42

with mock.patch("sample.Foo.my_attr", 14):

    ...

# completion now offers `sample`, `Foo`, and `my_attr`

(PY-89189, PY-89191, PY-89192)

Typed signatures when overriding built-in methods

Completing an override of a dunder or built-in method fills in the full annotated signature – and auto-imports the types it needs – instead of bare parameters:

from types import TracebackType

class A:

    def __exit__(self, exc_type: type[BaseException] | None,

                 exc_val: BaseException | None,

                 exc_tb: TracebackType | None): ...

# was: def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb):

(PY-79218)


Editor and inspections

Type inlay hints

Inferred type arguments are shown inline at the call site, so you can see what a generic resolved to without hovering over it:

class A[T]:

    def __init__(self, t: T): ...

A[int](1)     # [int] shown as an inlay hint

Type names rendered inside inlay hints – return types and solved arguments alike – are also clickable, so you can jump straight to a type’s definition from the hint.

(PY-90411, PY-90293)

f-string format-spec validation

PyCharm already validated the str.format() mini-language. Those checks apply to f-strings too, and PyCharm flags formatting a type that doesn’t implement __format__:

data = 1

f"{data:.2f}"   # ok

f"{data:.2q}"   # now flagged: unsupported format spec

class A: ...

f"{A():d}"      # now flagged: A doesn't support the 'd' format

(PY-51322, PY-89760)


Refactoring

The Rename refactoring also updates references to a module when the module itself is renamed. Previously, the renaming left importing sites pointing at the old name:

# rename provider/provider_module.py → some_module.py

from ..provider import provider_module  # this reference is updated too

(PY-53274)

The Refactor | Field action is now Attribute, and the documentation says “instance attributes” to match Python terminology (PY-85828).


Conclusion

Taken together, these changes make PyCharm’s understanding of Python more precise and predictable: fewer false positives, better type inference, smarter completion, and less time spent working around cases where the IDE gets valid code wrong.

Many of these improvements started with real-world examples reported by users. If PyCharm still misunderstands a typing pattern, framework API, or other valid Python code in your project, let us know in YouTrack – a small reproducer can help us turn that friction into the next fix.

An interim report by the Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) said CCTV images showed the “track geometry irregularity” existed before the incident near Lewes injured 30 people.

Some restraint on Trump’s excesses might be accomplished if November’s midterm elections give Democrats more power

Donald Trump is essentially unrestrained when it comes to enriching himself during his second term, with no sign of stopping. If anything, he’s ramping things up.

Jah Wobble on covering the Beatles, London buses and why punk went wrong: ‘Being kind is seen as square’
Published: 2026-08-19 13:19:30 | Created: 2026-08-19 13:30:55

The maverick former Public Image Ltd bassist takes us on a typically picaresque journey through his ‘Kafka-esque’ days at Transport for London, being named by Sid Vicious and his spiritual learnings

Sometimes, on the top deck of a London bus, pension-age punks will politely disturb the concentration of a man on his iPad. “They’ll say: ‘Are you Jah Wobble?’” recounts the musician born John Wardle, his upbeat cockney accent ringing with delight. They will ask if he’s working on anything. “And I like to say: ‘Yes, I’m recording an album. I’m doing it right now.’”

In the 2020s, the 68-year-old bassist and bandleader has been revisiting the city of his birth and youth, composing and producing albums including the cosmic dub of The Bus Routes of South London, or the celestial electronica of Thames Symphony, while traversing London on public transport.

Freefall: A Reckoning for Boeing review – like a horror movie … only this is real life
Published: 2026-08-19 13:25:31 | Created: 2026-08-19 13:30:55

In 2022, Rory Kennedy exposed the aviation safety scandal in which 346 people died – but since then, a plane door has blown out mid-flight and more whistleblowers have come to the fore. Will anyone pay for this?

It is unfortunate that a sequel was required to Rory Kennedy’s 2022 documentary feature, which alleged that the profit-driven culture at a US aeronautics firm led to two plane crashes and the deaths of 346 people. But given the lack of corporate accountability evident at the end of Downfall: The Case Against Boeing – and the apparent complicity of regulatory body the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) – it was inevitable.

Freefall: A Reckoning for Boeing opens with a rundown of a significant development in the story: the mysterious death in March 2024 of John Barnett, a former Boeing employee turned whistleblower. Barnett, a contributor in the first film, was in the middle of a deposition when he was found dead at his hotel, which investigators ruled a suicide. Is this another casualty to add to Boeing’s mounting death toll? And is the alarming aviation safety scandal – supposedly resolved in November 2020, when the FAA lifted its grounding order on the Boeing 737 Max – in fact still ongoing?
