If you think the premise of the movie Project Hail Mary is unbelievable (a school teacher is chosen as the saviour of humanity) the book explains the reason perfectly well so don’t be put off if you think the trailer suggests a lame storyline. The book is great though - or to quote Rocky: “Amaze!”

Any climate solution that begins “a secretive team of scientists is working on…” should probably end with “this won’t fix the real problem”.
Dimming the sun isn’t climate action — it’s avoidance, or buying time at best.

I recently had a lovely chat on the doorstep with a very nice Labour canvasser; when I said I’m voting @greenparty.org.uk she told me to tactically vote for Labour to prevent Reform winning. Mate, in that case why don’t all the Labour voters tactically vote Green? That’ll also stop Reform

Interesting, conversely, I wonder how many people have low mood secondary to TNF-α insufficiency
An inflammatory cytokine in the brain can drive the addictive properties of methamphetamine by triggering the release of dopamine, according to new preclinical work in #ScienceSignaling. https://scim.ag/4aerEUO
TNF-α signaling mediates the dopaminergic effects of methamphetamine by stimulating dopamine transporters and L-type Ca2+ channels
Dopamine release that underlies methamphetamine addiction is driven by the cytokine TNF-α.

Well because the incorruptible Infantino and FIFA care about football more than advertising and commercial revenue, they’ll probably keep it simple and draw the names at random from a hat, right? They won’t engineer it so the big teams go further…Oh wait…
