Defaming a murdered woman and shrugging off her death with a lie is about as evil as it gets and no journalist who gets within shouting distance of this vicious troll should let him have a moment's peace about it.

Old growth forest species of the day: Amylocystis lapponica (NO lappkjuke). It grows on spruce logs that often are grey and without bark, in forests with a high degree of naturalness. We were very thrilled to find it in a new location in Østmarka last fall!

New hominin fossils from the Grotte à Hominidés at Thomas Quarry I (ThI-GH) in Casablanca, Morocco, dated to around 773 thousand years ago are similar in age to Homo antecessor, yet are morphologically distinct.

"Nobelkomiteen har kompromittert prisen den er oppnevnt til å dele ut. Satt Norge i politisk forlegenhet. Den har feilet i å forvalte fredsprisens symbolske kapital. For ettertiden vil denne prisen huskes som et minnesmerke over Trumps nyimperialistiske æra."

Machados støtte til Trumps folkerettsstridige bruk av militærmakt er kanskje rasjonell fra hennes ståsted, men kan ikke ligge til grunn for Nobelkomiteens fredsforståelse. Det går an å være for krig, ...

🙏 Thanks for digging into this and coming up with papers we can refer to on this topic!
New paper up on bioRxiv! This is my third and hopefully final paper on rarefaction. It's still better than the other available methods.

Rarefaction is better than robust Aitchison PCA and other compositional data analysis methods at controlling for uneven sequencing effort
Amplicon sequencing typically results in a wide distribution in the number of sequences obtained from each sample. How best to account for this variation has been a persistent problem in the microbial...

BREAKING 🇵🇸 Israeli regime forces have stormed Birzeit University campus in the Occupied West Bank, injuring 41 students, including 9 with live bullets.
Stephen Miller, who wants the U.S. to steal Greenland and shake down Latin America, says: ”We live in a world … that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”
That‘s a criminal pretending that a civilized world is impossible.

MICHIGAN: Police arrest protestor of Trump’s attack on Venezuela while she’s live on air 🤔🇺🇸
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva says the US crossed an 'unacceptable line' following attacks on Venezuela and the capture of its president, Nicolas Maduro.
Watch this. Watch again.

3 January 1927 | A Norwegian Jewish boy, Arnold Jaffe, was born in Gjøvik.

He arrived at #Auschwitz on 1 December 1942. After the selection - together with his father Samson and mother Ruth - he was murdered in a gas chamber.
Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

Maduro's not a good guy, agreed. But neither is Putin, and Trump rolled out the red fucking carpet for him. It's not about dope, it's about oil (which kinda IS dope).
Just when you think Trump has hit the gutter, he bounces lower.

«Hvis det finnes et historisk mønster som sier noe om sammenhengen mellom multikultur, liberalisme og sosialt, økonomisk og politisk fremskritt, er det det helt motsatte av den nasjonalkonservative dommedagsprofetien.» www.morgenbladet.no/ideer/asle-t...
(+) Asle Tojes dommedags­profeti har ingen støtte i forskningen på samfunnskollaps
Det er grunnleggende menneskelig å bekymre seg for at ens barndomskultur er i endring, men å omtale slike endringer som «sivilisasjonskollaps» er ikke seriøs samfunnsanalyse.

As the year draws to a close, I’m signing off 2025 with a magical find!

An ancient amber bear. Carved some 10,000 years ago, it washed up on a beach at Fanø, Denmark, from a submerged Mesolithic settlement in the North Sea.

✨ Happy New Year all! ✨

"Trickle down economy"
America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.
