You feel that? How, for today, everything seems a bit less existentially terrifying, because the evil bastards aiming to destroy us have made complete and utter fucking clowns of themselves? Today is an object lesson in why ridicule is one of the most essential weapons against fascism.

Not to get too hopeful on main but fascism hinges on the projection of strongman invincibility and every ding and crack in that image is a win for resistance. And boy howdy was there some good dinging and cracking delivered today

Israel is enacting ' the final solution' in Gaza as all internet, electricity and water is cut off and everyone is distracted by Israel's warcrimes elsewhere and AIPACS incursion on American rule of law. Don't stop talking about Palestine.

By deep characterisation of 186 N-glycan standards, we @thencfg.bsky.social have made the most comprehensive targeted LC-MS glycomic assay to date. Non-reduced native glycan analysis is key. We hope this enables anyone with QqQ and interest in #glycotime to measure specific N-glycan structures.

Almost all Nobel Prizes are awarded for work that is exploratory, or absolutely basic science with no obvious commercial or medical benefit. You cannot predict where advancements come from, so you have to invest in science and scientists. Targeted (corporate) science investment will never do this.

The destruction of institutional knowledge right now is deliberate, and will have effects for decades. An unrecoverable amount of person-centuries of knowledge, tossed in the trash, in every academic field and institution.

I sort of like how Google has chosen to put a disclaimer at the bottom of its AI summary to search which is "AI responses may include mistakes" presumably because their legal team made it mandatory..

The proposed olympic stadium in Barrambin Victoria Park would completely destroy the park and overwhelm local suburbs www.savevictoriapark.com/new-stadium-... and that doesn't even include the warmup track and aquatics stadium. An absurd loss of public green space at extraordinary cost.

During the pandemic, the US implemented the most effective social welfare policies in our history -- programs that worked because they were big enough, simple, and universal.
