It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

"The short-termism of universities burning through their social licence neatly parallels the roll out of the resource-hungry, carbon intensive data centres on which AI depends. In both cases, the underlying philosophy might be rendered as après moi, le déluge (after me, the flood)"

Over the years, I have given students in my classses microbially themed cookie cutters. Very few gave them a try. But I have to show off what a University of Canterbury #AoteroaMicronaut made (I know, "biscuits" not cookies). Beautiful work.

Quand tu fais de la pub a des milices fascistes en les présentant comme des "initiatives citoyennes", alors qu'ils amplifient les griefs du terroriste supremacist de Trappes, voici le résultat...

Fascinating reminder of the degree to which we are all incredibly complex hybrids, and how genetic change is a complex business, nothing at all like designing a machine. phys.org/news/2026-10...

Pasteurization of milk was introduced decades ago In 2026, it is insane to see people go back to raw milk! Absolutely insane!! www.propublica.org/article/raw-...

Nice to see some of my former AI students selling skills and not selling AI nonsense. > Clara explores whether learning to code is still worthwhile, offering crucial insights into the learning process and the future of programming.

Can we detect marine ecosystem degradation from multiple cumulative pressures before biodiversity collapses? Short answer: yes. Here is how we did it in our #GES4SEAS project, an open access paper. #MarineEcology #Research www.frontiersin.org/articles/10....

Senior CSIRO scientists discussed how to have an “open conversation” about the rising threats from a warming world before “it’s too late” https://reneweconomy.com.au/wandering-towards-dystopia-csiro-scientists-want-open-discussion-of-climate-impacts-before-its-too-late/

🌍 “This is no longer a warning for the future; it is a diagnosis of the present.” Our 2026 State of the Climate report finds 7 of 16 planetary vital signs at record extremes. The planetary emergency is already here. doi.org/10.1093/bios...

Last sampling in Albaola Itsas Kultur Faktoria in Pasaia on the Basque coast, w the portable Lamprey #eDNA water filtering device for the Plankton Planet initiative. The idea is to reconstruct coastal zooplankton and associated seasonal dynamics throughout Europe through lots of biweekly time series

Earth's best carbon sink is snot, Morty. Marine snow, falling clumps of mucus, poop and dead plankton, hauls six times more carbon to the deep when it's extra gooey, since bacteria can't chew through it. Your climate plan is a planet-sized sneeze. @science.org @scrippsocean.bsky.social day283.018

Tap water no longer drinkable in Norwegian town as climate-related thawing releases heavy metals #Climate

Do you like riddles(and molecular biology)? Maybe you can help me solve this one. We’ve found a short piece of DNA (a plasmid) present in almost all plague samples from the Second Plague Pandemic (1338-1840), but absent in all earlier or later plague cases. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🔴 BREAKING - Israeli settlers beat French mayor, attack European diplomatic cars in West Bank

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

Between you and I, us both know that them don't care about we. That's just life, when conflating your subjects and your objects. (grammar policing 101 - somehow the more used to English I get, the more I do this mistake myself)

Now published. Very cool research. Somehow, I'd like to summarise this with "Our ancestors learnt how to crawl. The rest is history." ;-) Us eukaryotes branch from *within* these archaea, at least our nuclear genomes do (see Symbiogenesis). www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today: "Scientists are coming under pressure from some petro-states and major developing countries to delay publication of a key global report on the climate, despite pleas from vulnerable countries worried that postponement could spell disaster for them."

This, from my colleagues in @azti.bsky.social , looks very promising for scalable biomonitoring of macrobenthos using ROVs or perhaps in the future AUVs, like gliders, using video and image recognition: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Republicans forced a philosophy professor to take Plato's Republican off his syllabus. Why? "It references Plato’s beliefs concerning gender roles and homosexuality." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Hej! Vill bara påminna om att medan vi håller på med annat så fortsätter de globala utsläppen att öka (!) och mänskligheten är med stormsteg på väg ut ur livets korridor. Det vi gör och inte gör de här veckorna, månaderna och åren avgör precis allt.

Russian data centers got hit 3 times by Ukraine over the weekend. That's going to seriously inhibit Farage's ability to astroturf his way out of the Russia allegations. youtu.be/9HON8f19kFY?...

Glad to share this new Microbial Primer on Mirror Biology written w/ Jolien Sweere. It's free to all in the @microbiologysociety.org journal Microbiology, edited by Steve Diggle. Thanks for this opportunity to outline our scientific knowledge of this significant topic. doi.org/10.1099/mic....
