Apparently Russians looking up political opponents on the Internet counts as 'extremism'. Poor Russia. Poor Russians. That people have had centuries of dictatorship. It ain't getting better.

Putin Signs Law Criminalizing Searches for ‘Extremist’ Content - The Moscow Times
President Vladimir Putin on Thursday signed into law a controversial bill that criminalizes accessing or searching for online content labeled “extremist.” The legislation, criticized by both Kremlin loyalists and opposition figures, introduces fines of up to 5,000 rubles (about $64) for individuals who “knowingly” view or seek out banned materials.

You do you, Jupiter.

However, if you could *try* to aim in the direction of the White House, we’d all be very grateful.

For about 30 years, the Ph.D. Project has supported students from underrepresented groups who are earning doctoral degrees in business. Now, it's attracted the attention of the Trump administration.

In my 64 years I have seen nothing like this:

1. Serious talk about USA annexing Canada
2. ⁠Serious talk about USA annexing Greenland
3. ⁠Israel conducts air strike on hospital in Gaza
4. ⁠Trump’s latest antics include contempt for Europe

Is this where peace and progress stops?

I’d forgotten how lovely Harrogate is. And the Lib Dem Northern Conference is pretty good too.

Insects may have been evolving to avoid light. Maybe the decline in insect population is not an actual decline; rather, bugs have started to hide where entomologists aren’t looking. 🧪

Insects may have been evolving to avoid light. So maybe we need to look harder for them.
