I’m not saying Trump is a Russian asset or traitor…
Installed to inflict maximum damage to America and the west
But if he were, what would he be doing differently to what he is now?

In some ways, it's the same with Farage specifically and Brexit generally. Speaking to their most passionate advocates for (good grief!) almost a decade has made it crystal clear that all they ever really value is the 'freedom' to believe bilge & be vile to various groups of varying vulnerability.

Telomeric transposons are pervasive in linear bacterial genomes
Eukaryotes have linear DNA and their telomeres are hotspots for transposons, which in some cases took over telomere maintenance. Here we identify several families of independently evolved telomeric tr...

Many of the scientists that the Trump administration is defunding and persecuting will be working on strategically important technologies and research areas. The UK and other European countries should urgently establish programmes to bring those researchers here.

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality
![[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hppum4l25hcczzffastsicpq/bafkreihuubdwcftfkvvlnepoaf6pfxqulryfp7ydrydi5fe2pflwz63wgm@jpeg)

The European allies have also forced Trump to back down on peace negotiations. He’s now conceded that Ukraine and the EU will need to be a part of them.
Trump has form folding when anyone puts pressure on him.
