I don’t use alt text because I really can’t spell, it actually sometimes takes me a while to write a simple post, because I have to google a word, because my spelling is so bad that spellcheck doesn’t work most of the time.

Little watched gem I just came across from @noupside.bsky.social "Democracy depends more than just free expression. It depends on the ability to agree how we can verify facts, how we can deliberate, how we can collectively act in response to common problems" www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1NG...

No, just chill. It's an ordinary, if very tragic, lab leak. There's no evidence that anything sub rosa is going on here.

I'm desperately sorry for this unfortunate young woman. She looks barely out of her teens. It is a terrible disease, and a terrible way to die.

A 1959 beginner‘s Russian course for Eskimo primary schools in northern Russia. The vocabularies and notes are in the Chaplino dialect of Central Siberian Yupik, which appears to have been the Soviet standard dialect for ‘Eskimo’ publications.

Here's the letter in Lancet by the way. Still sounds spot-on to me. It was specifically written in response to conspiracy theories originating in China, amplified by anti-China activists (e.g. Falun Gong/Epoch Times) & Right wing in US & other countries. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

The attack on @peterdaszak.bsky.social is likewise intolerable. A scurrilous indictment without, again, a single fact to support it. Jane Qiu either doesn't understand the science or has her own agenda-trying to corner the market on being the serious, unbiased journalist. Sorry, doesn't work.

Energy wonks/pundits on X are: 1) Owned by tech, energy, finance; or 2) Exhibiting a wild lack of agency & defeatism by stating "this is the bestest permitting deal we'll ever get!" Both serve fossil fuels. Both undercut a future that decarbonizes *&* protects people + place. Both serve Trump.

I enjoyed joining Sam and Philipp for Science Counterpunch! We talked biosafety, biosecurity, and why real scientific progress is essential to preparedness. Protecting people requires investing in the science and capabilities that make us all safer. Thank you for having me on!

This is misleading. YouTube are nuking channels for no reason and stealing their data to train their AI content , and they will not give you ANY means of getting your data back. They only respond on x with AI bots which can’t answer the most simple question.

I agree, if a person can’t be bothered to write it , I’m not bothered to read it personally. I have 3 main books ( graphic novels) out , each took about 5-7 years, one a lot longer because it involved at least 5 years of research ( not “ googling stuff) but going to different countries and tracking
