The current president of Syria is an imposition of the United States. His history sound like a CIA project. Bashar al Assad was not a saint, but he was eloquent.

Greta Thunberg said she is “not scared of Israel” as she sailed with an international aid flotilla toward Gaza, calling the voyage a last resort to show “there is still some humanity left.” #gretathun...

Be careful over here there are people putting Charlie’s name on an account and then putting people on the block list as a Marxist . I wish these Republicans understand what a Marxist is and realize we don’t have that in the United States. .

Here’s an interesting new paper on ROS1, an enzyme that removes DNA methylation and that is POSITIVELY controlled by DNA methylation.
It’s repression during heat stress 🥵🌱 is crucial to suppress transposon mobility! 🧬

Plants repress ROS1 expression to attenuate heat-induced transposon burst - Nature Plants
Plants suppress the DNA demethylase ROS1 under heat stress to limit transposon activation, preventing genome instability. This conserved mechanism balances stress adaptation with genome protection.

As a climate person, I'm wary of the narrative that's taking hold in the UK that Reform are almost unbeatable already. The demoralisation/inevitability playbook is very fossil fuel company- feels dangerously close to it here, especially given that the world will look very different in 4 years.
This by @johnharris1969.bsky.social crystallises the feelings of dread I've been having about the prospect of a Farage government. Think about what it'd mean for the NHS, state education, the BBC, climate change.

I believe I met God on a train today. He was disguised as a Greek who emigrated to Germany. [God is always happy]. He advised me not to drink beer, saying water has allowed him to live looong. I asked him, "Are you married?"
He said, "No."
Why not?
He said, "He has not found the one."
He said, "No."
Why not?
