Организацията на Тракия е безумна. Има някакви часове, в които уж спират движението в посока София, но те не се спазват (както и продължителността).

Ходенето на събития в София е почти невъзможно в момента.

Oh, good. The Torment Nexus that already has people falling in love with it, and making them lose their minds, will now also get them horny. What could go wrong.
Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

Very excited to see our @nikogeldner.bsky.social lab x Feng Zhou lab work featured on the cover of Science!
(1/5) We reveal how root architecture and nutrient leakage shape spatial patterns of microbial colonization, moving beyond traditional models of uniform exudation.
Using precise spatial and temporal analysis, researchers in Science provide insight into how bacteria around the root interact both with the plant and with each other.

като не мога да намеря някоя стара песен в нета, ми се струва, че трябва да съм я сънувала. някой сеща ли се за един канон, пееше се "есен, тиха есен, чувам твойта тъжна песен, чувам аз твойта тъжна песен"? имаше и "грей в ползата" за гората

For context that's a third the price the RIAA expected a single human to pay for just downloading 24 songs a decade ago (after cutting the ruling down from $1.5m, or $62,000 per song), and that's not adjusting for inflation:

Крайно време е да забранят ходенето пеша. Всеки в кола, за да има ред
Най-накрая!
А не както си ходи, да се хвърли да пресича слепешката. Или тича за здраве, наближава пътеката и свива рязко. Или кара колело, и пак свива по пешеходната...

Нови правила за пешеходците влизат в сила от 7 септември
Глобите за нарушения стават 100 лева, забраняват телефоните при пресичане

На зелен пешеходен светофар, с коли които правят ляв завой, ми спря буквално последната кола. Въпреки, че им махах възмутено. Въпреки, че бутах колело и бях с шарен велосипеден екип (доста съм видим). Туй то. Див Пловдив.

Ah, yes, my plain text emails from 10 years ago are the problem, not the "AI" bullshit that wants its own nuclear powerplants. Of course.

The Voice of Fate would like to remind you that access to Wikipedia is prohibited and offenders will be swiftly prosecuted.
The UK is about to ban access to Wikipedia, just remember this bill was originally pitched as a means to protect kids from accessing porn.

It's almost 22:00, and outside it's still 34.5 °C.

I'm wondering if picking up KSR's The Ministry for the Future a few weeks back was a proper choice.

The grift that keeps on giving.
Colossal are likely trying to ‘de-extinct’ the moa by tweaking an emu genome. There’s 62 million years of evolution between an emu and a moa.

For context, there’s only 42 MY between humans and howler monkeys. You simply can’t make a human with a GM howler monkey

Colossal's plans to "de-extinct" the giant moa are still impossible
After a controversial project claiming to have resurrected the dire wolf, Colossal Biosciences has now announced plans to bring back nine species of the extinct moa bird

This is SPICY! I love it.
What's super exciting is that the glow is visible from INSIDE the silique! You could do single flower floral dip and optimize your protocol, one seed pod at a time. Can't wait to try this!

Hating on “Big Pharma”? Cool, it’s a $1.6 trillion regulated industry. But hang on…the $6.3 trillion wellness industry sells you mushroom tea, dewormers, crash diets, and alkaline water—no regulations, no oversight. But hey, it’s ‘natural,’ right?

Current methods for profiling #HistoneModifications require cell isolation & don't work with all tissue types. @jellevda.bsky.social &co adapt Targeted DamID (TaDa) to profile cell-type-specific #histone marks throughout the genome, in vivo, without cell isolation 🧪 @plosbiology.org plos.io/3Dw8sUD

Following up on my Lysenkoism post (bsky.app/profile/soms...), here’s another Russian plant biologist worth knowing: Have a look at this thread on 𝗠𝗶𝗸𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗞𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗸𝗵𝘆𝗮𝗻 (1902–1991), who proposed the existence of a mobile, leaf-derived flowering factor, long before FT.
