Portuguese by nationality. Genetically I'm aprox 50% Ukrainian, 25% Russian and 25% Greek. Living in Spain (Catalonia).
I don't identify myself with any "-ism", but the closest thing would be libertarianism.
I work in the field of Life Sciences. My activity usually revolves around genetics and bioinformatics. I also like programming and data science / machine learning.
I started migrating to more ethical digital spaces and services after I had first-hand experience working for one of the most abominable enterprises. There is so much I want to say about it but can't due to legal reasons.

That sad moment of the year when you're storing your summer clothes deep in the closet replacing them with winter clothes...
At the black sea. The land where I was born but haven't been to ever since I left... Until today.
Our future be like. ..

How beautiful this cat is that made the roof of my rented house her new home?
I found an amazing code that restores old photos. It's so good, it's creepy.
It doesn't quite work with the edges (for example it merges my ears with my hair sometimes) and works poorly with faces too far away. But other than that it works amaizingly.
Code is here and also has a Google Colab set up:
China bans video games pretty much. Literally a nanny state .

๐ฌ Some notable exceptions to that global trend:
In the ๐บ๐ธ #USA, the influence of income has vanished, and support depends solely (and strongly!) on education (highly educated โ leftist).
In #Scandinavia (epitome: ๐ธ๐ช #Sweden) it’s the opposite: education became irrelevant, and political preference depends only on income (perhaps because they are wealthy, egalitarian countries?).
๐ต๐น #Portugal hasn’t changed like the other countries: there the Right is still supported mostly by educated (and rich) voters. (NB: in the 50’s and 60’s, Portugal was a dictatorship).
๐ฎ๐น #Italy is the rare case where leftist parties ended up being the parties of the richest segment of the population. I wouldn’t read too much into this, though, as the political landscape there during the last decade or two has been a populist mess.
๐ช๐ธ #Spain is the country where education and income tell you the least about political preferences! There’s still the secular correlation โhigh income โ right wingโ, but it’s very weak today. (NB: in the 50’s and 60’s, Spain was also a dictatorship).
Very interesting insight of an undercover cop regarding drug policy
Friendly reminder Taliban official representative is active on Twitter but Trumpet got banned.
What an amazing page I found. You can click on a point on a map and listen to a radio station from there, UK is full of Drum and Bass and it makes me jealous xD
Who can recommend a cool instance about life science and biotech news and innovations? Mostly I'm interested in genomics and bioinformatics but also just biomedicine and biotech in general.

If humans had 100% control of their body's, they'd probably not do anything
