They're still calling lab leak conspiracy theory... incredible.
Princess Vimentin PhD | Cancer Biologist@princess-vimentin.bsky.social · 6h agoConspiracy theories are not new. The fact that the first Covid cases originated in China, the fact that it was new, and rapidly changing information provided fuel to fire. 🧪 theconversation.com/faucis-covid...
Excited to share our latest paper in Parasites & Vectors! We mapped Lyme disease hazard across 141 urban greenspaces in NYC–Long Island & Greater Boston, showing how urbanization, tree canopy & wildlife connectivity shape the distribution of Borrelia-infected Ixodes scapularis nymphs.
Imagine comparing Arday to Musk... this is exactly the kind of political bias and silly student activism a good scientist should be far above.
Adam Rutherford@adamrutherford.bsky.social · 8h agoQv: Elon Musk as Royal Society Fellow. The people within the institutions whose due diligence was lacking are the ones who should be sanctioned.
What if the person's creed is Nazism? Can we judge them then? Can we distinguish between groups at all? Leftist identity politics tells us we must. That black needs to be capitalised. Can we suppose a Celtic FC fan even supports Celtic FC? Or is it all just a mystery... shroedingers Rangers Fan?
Scotland's No1 Comrade@scotlandscomrade.bsky.social · 2d agoSTRONG message from Celtic FC fans last night amid recent protests in the city “It is not the creed or nationality of a man that defines him. It is the man himself. “Celtic FC - anti-racist since 1888.” ☘️ Good to see 👏 would love to see this replicated across the country.

A physicist built a mini-universe out of cold atoms and used it to test where time comes from. It made big headlines a few weeks ago, and I almost skipped it, as most "universe in a lab" stories are nonsense. But then I actually read the paper. Let's take a look. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bce-...

I'm afraid you've completely misread Blake, Marcus. The Mills are Lockean rationalism, Newtonian mechanics, academic dogma, institutional orthodoxy grinding human imagination into dust: the 'Loom of Locke' & 'Water-wheels of Newton.' The Urizenic tyranny of reductive Scientism.
Marcus Chown@marcuschown.bsky.social · 5d agoThe “dark satanic mills” of Blake’s “Jerusalem“ were not inspired by northern mills but by Albion Mill, a steam-powered flour mill near London’s Blackfriars Bridge which was attacked by Luddites in 1791.
Good. Insane that GoF labs have **increased** since covid. There should be a global moratorium.

⚡🌱 BRIEF COMMUNICATION 🌱⚡ Local wounding of Arabidopsis seedlings triggers a transient systemic increase in extracellular ATP levels, and increases in [Ca2+]cyt are attenuated by mutation of extracellular ATP receptor genes - Wang et al. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #PlantScience 🧪
![Fig. 1 (shortened, full legend in paper): Local wounding induces systemic increase in extracellular ATP (eATP) level. (A, C) The experimental design for measuring changes of eATP levels and cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) in response to local wounding at a single leaf (A) or the main root (C). L1–L5 indicate the different leaves. (B, D) Left panel, representative images of changes of eATP luminescence signals of wild type (WT) seedlings that were subjected to local wounding at a single leaf (B) or the main root (D). Right panel, quantification of the eATP luminescence signal in leaf 1 (wounded leaf) and leaf 5 (which was chosen as a representative systemic leaf) (B), or in the wounded main root and rosette leaves (leaf 1-leaf 5) (D), to evaluate the systemic change of the eATP levels in response to the local wounding. Un-wounded seedlings were used as the controls. Each value represents the mean ±SE (n≥19 in B; n≥13 in D).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ggz22gcwkakll7efac23g33s/bafkreidb6bkxn4sdm5odvqoz4ssylzvplcuqmgt3exw7oij64c4stxyyau)

The Left loving John Oliver is hilarious 🤖
@vlasvilneous.bsky.social · 2w agoThe nail in the coffin for me was when he used his platform to complain about his solar at his house. I saw through him then, and said no longer give a shit about his platform. Jon Oliver though, delivers the most gut wrenching information and details in a comedic way, so I support him, a lot.
This is utter nonsense. Fauci blocked true statements over vaccine efficacy in order to enforce lockdowns. He lied repeatedly, and illegally used tax funds to seek money prizes for himself. He lied about funding GoF. He needs to go to jail. The vaccines didnt work. Masks never worked.

This is unreal... defending him lying.
Tuesday Adams ™ 🌹@tuesdayadams111.bsky.social · last wk.Good for him. He isn't a fool.
For the 'trust the science' crowd. A 7-year study of 3,900 social science papers found that only ~50% could be replicated. While more than 60% of political science & econ papers were replicated, ONLY ~25% of sociology & 0% of education papers were. ZERO!!!!
Direct incitement. Polanski is a party leader with much larger reach than Lucy Connolly so the sentence should be what, 3x as long?
Dunning Kruger use has always been a red flag for an NPC.
George Sievers@rationaljack.bsky.social · last wk.Shocking video. Naked propaganda & establishment arrogance distilled into 7 minutes. It treats legitimate political opposition to offshoring, border security & globalism as mental illness that needs psychological 'conditioning' rather than engaging with real-world economic/security trade-offs.

How interesting that social media posts are now *definitely no problem at all...* This is at the same time they want X banned. This is actually a common feature of Leftism: contradictory, mutual exclusive views. Orwell coined Doublethink to describe this internal in coherence of the Leftist mind.

Comparisons between thermomechanical models and Venusian rift morphologies indicate that rifts on Venus are still, or were recently, active and may have undergone faster extension than usually assumed...
