Happy Dead Kissinger Day to all who celebrate!

A good day to remember Dobson and Kirk are also still dead.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

I should write the argument up properly somewhere, but I think this is fundamentally wrong. A decisive fraction of the capitalist class does oppose addressing the climate crisis, but *not* because it would be bad for profits. If anything, a green New Deal type program would raise aggregate profits.
Yes, this is correct. And the reason is because our capitalist classes have decided that it is not sufficiently profitable, so they're not going to do it.

We must understand this reality. Capital *cannot* be relied upon to address the climate crisis.

Not UK-only; rather UK-necessary.

That is to say, everyone should take the steps described in this delightfully styled article, and understand the push for anti-privacy law is extremely valuable to certain donor classes and not limited to the Brits.

New post from me, for UK folks only, on how you need to start preparing for Apple to switch off Advanced Data Protection and the end-to-end encryption of the data you store on it. Like I said, UK only. #SunlitUplands

Pets are wild, man. There's just this little dude or little lady living in your house, being a whole ass creature, living their little lives and following the tune of a song you'll never fully understand. It amazes me every time I look at an animal.

Sometimes I wonder how ol' Bill is gettin' on since this, his apparent Bluesky grand finale.

Has he found another social habitat? One that nurtures his impressively overconfident ignorance?

Or has he perhaps withdrawn from society to focus on self-improvement or his "heighten pattern recognition"?
So yes, I do think I have a better insight than the president of the company. I'll wait while you try to remind me that Signal is non-profit, and I retort with something clever like "And how do you developers feed themselves".
