This broke my brain

Cyclosporine A as a vaccine adjuvant to induce TRegs is something that would never have occurred to me, let alone it leading to *enhanced* antibody responses

Putin is coming to the realization that it's a lot harder taking over Ukraine than the GOP.

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software and Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit anyone's ever said, so when people say he's a genius I figured I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

Staggering charts in the FT by John Burn-Murdoch show that after 12 years of Tory rule we are poorer, sicker and will die sooner than our peers. Utterly disgraceful.

For the holiday, a thread on how to befriend crows.

Befriending crows is a wonderful thing.

I have many crow friends at home and at work. They bring joy at unexpected moments and can rescue a miserable day even without shaking down the dust of snow that Robert Frost described.

This thread is an updated version of one I posted at the bird site in July 2019.

@ftrain Think this is the very definition of ephemeral (& summarises UK weather atm)

@Willie2 People whine about strikes being inconvenient...that's the WHOLE POINT.

I fully support ALL of the striking workers.

The Tories have a knife to the throat of this country and they need to be brought down, once and for all.

„Password requirements: myths and madness“ by Alan Franzoni

Still a topic in may enterprises, where IT security and IT users have conflicts. Where security is 100% successful when no one is able to work.

Ministers are wholly responsible for this alarming situation: 12 years of #austerity, barely hidden privatisation agenda, #Brexit impact on staffing, cavalier attitude to training sufficient doctors and nurses, all trademarks of this reckless government.
