What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

All that being said, 'Godzilla vs MechaHitler' is the movie we never knew we needed.

Any time Israel bombs another of it's near neighbours, the first thing I check is Netanyahu's corruption trial.

Israeli officers and soldiers have revealed they’ve been ordered to deliberately shoot at unarmed Palestinians trying to get aid.
That’s in Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
Israel is deliberately massacring civilians it’s deliberately starving.
There are few crimes more depraved.

A trans woman tried to use a law that protects women from abuse from in-laws. The in-laws argued that because she can't get pregnant it doesn't protect her. Fortunately they lost. Transphobes are sick people

No matter how often I see this data, I always find it shocking. Of all the massive growth in output produced by the world's workers since 1980, more than half of it has been captured by the richest 1%. This is what happens when capital controls production.

Trump just said that both Israel & Iran “don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.”
He’s dead wrong.
Netanyahu knows exactly what he’s doing.
Netanyahu cannot afford a ceasefire…
…any pause/calm and his ghosts (Gaza, corruption, bombing damage, costs, West Bank) will catch up with him.

we're living through one of the greatest technological revolutions in the history of mankind and it's not AI
Solar + storage is now $104 per MWh in Las Vegas or similar regions for nearly 100% clean firm power. There is no way new nuclear can compete with this. Even new gas plants will struggle and that is assuming access to cheap gas over the life-cycle of the plant, which is kind of a crazy gamble TBH.
Batteries are so cheap now, solar power doesn’t sleep
Batteries are now cheap enough to make 24/7 solar power affordable, unlocking round-the-clock clean energy in the world’s sunniest cities.

In any conflict, we should oppose the aggressor and defend the aggressed, regardless of identity. I have only contempt for the Iranian regime, but Iran was attacked by Israel and the US without sufficient cause or legal justification. Israel and the US are the aggressors, Iran the aggressed.
