I remember that episode. Is that "Boomer" from Battlestar Galactica raising the toast?
I love Science, i really do.
But this.....i don`t know,maybe this should be the Red Line.
Cloned monkeys, a first, spur inevitable questions of when human clones will follow
Cloned monkeys: scientists in China have cloned two macaques. Humans next?

Virtue Signalling, that's how all the bad dictators got where they got.
That was fantastic. Being a Serling fan, I got the NG boxed set. I guess you'd call a lot of the episodes 'campy', but I love them. The Guillermo Del Toro commentary on two episodes was easily worth the price of the DVD's alone! For those who poo poo the series, remember it gave a lot of young talent, including Spielberg their first mainstream directing jobs, and inspired people like Del Toro, who saw it as kids, to work in film. His second favorite, the earwig episode, was harsh!
The Terrifying TV Episode That Made Guillermo Del Toro Pee His Pants
Night Gallery is available on Hulu. Hubby and I are big fans.
Cloning creeps me out. I would much rather cloning just remained a sci-fi theme (or a Dean Koontz genetic engineering theme lol). The playing God idea doesn't bother me as much as the idea that I could be manufactured. I'm not special in any way but I still want there to be only one me
I had to google virtue signaling... It is creepy. What I'm finding the creepiest is the fact that I've done it
I'm not going to elaborate so Ms Mod doesn't have to move my post to hot topics lol.
I spotted this old GE radio/phonograph in a bunch of stuff outside a big old house waiting for the bin man. I'm not English! I stopped and grabbed the radio. It looked interesting, although I never expected it to even turn on. I saw a pic of this one on EBAY. MUCH better condition. Mine's a little beat, although the cloth front, dial & knobs are still very nice. They were both produced in 1946.
Mine only makes a series of weird hums if I turn it on. But I'm actually a little happy it does something. And that a rat didn't jump out of the back. I think the turntables dead. I can't get it to do anything. Question. If I somehow get some tubes replaced ("For best quality, Only use genuine General Electric tubes!" it says on the back -- and I guess I will. I don't want to void the warranty.), How long with it be before an old lady who inhabits the radio, who was a voice actress in the 1940's/50's, starts threatening to kill me?!!

That’s a nice looking piece of furniture (is it very big?) It would be nice to have it fixed but for now you could just put a small radio inside of it I guess (do they even make portable radios anymore?)
It's not gigantic, but bigger than a large breadbox. With legs, it could almost be a coffee table. Okay, I put it on my coffee table, and it's as big as my coffee table. It dwarf's my night stand! I could probably duct-tape some sort of radio inside there, but I don't want to. I'd rather keep it original even if it doesn't play. It's 72 yrs old! But looks pretty good. I think I could use stain to pretty it up & get most of the dings out. Nikola Tesla had only been dead 3 years when they made this thing! And really, I don't to hear Keith Urban coming out of it. I might turn it on & play some 'Fibber McGee & Molly' out of my computer. Maybe that would make it happy. Y'know, I have a work friend who goes to estate sales & Goodwills looking for vintage lamps & things, and when they tell her they're not sure if the item works or not, she'll say happily, "I don't care! I'm gonna gut it!" She guts them & glues beads, rhinestones, buttons, and spangles on them! I'm gonna keep her away from my new radio. She's real sweet, but she smells of BENGAY and sort of scares me.
I like your idea about an old singer manifesting from that radio. Maybe you should write a story worthy of King's bad boy Skeleton Crew. I can picture it: the female siren, not unlike Roger Rabbit's girlfriend, with a southern twang and killer instinct to rival that of George Stark. She might leave a note like this on your bathroom mirror:
