Trump is demented and JD Vance wants the presidency: so as soon as Trump does something that threatens JD Vance’s chances of presidency, Trump will fall. Unless of course destiny will want otherwise.

Paper day!! Little Red Dots (LRDs) are seen everywhere by JWST, but even after 3 years of relentless effort we are still debating what these things actually are. We decompose LRDs to show LRD - Host Galaxy = Black Hole Star (BH*)! 🧵

While some scientists have been making rapid progress on technologies to build mirror organisms, others are getting closer to building regular bacterial cells from scratch. If progress in these two fields converges, it will be possible to build mirror bacteria. What does that mean?
Life’s evil twins, called mirror cells, could wipe us out if scientists don’t stop them
Researchers are closer to making “reversed” cells that may wipe us off the planet

Sto guardando questo film su Rai5. Sempre più convinto che Gaza sia la versione 4.0 di quello che i nazisti han fatto nei campi. Ad ogni modo, è geniale il modo in cui l’uomo, a volte, trovi ogni escamotage per sopravvivere alla distruzione. Peccato che non sia sempre così.

A petit bourgeoisie you say, that sees its lifestyle and social position under threat you say? Finding exterior enemies and explanations from a rapidly growing facist movement, you say?
Nope. Doesn't ring a bell.

The US usually assasinates or fakes a coup in the global south to get what it wants. It has the veneer of democracy.
This is just all Trumps idea. He probably wants Greenland for himself and is dragging in the armed forces for it.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
