@futurebird Musk is an unstable abusive drug-addled bigot with too much money and power and I'll be damned if I give him free content and traffic to monetize. He won't notice but my friends will: I don't drink in Nazi bars.
Leaving Twitter was hard - leaving so many people, so much history and culture behind. But boycotts don't mean much if they're easy - I never ate at Chick-Fil-A or shopped at Walmart or Hobby Lobby anyway so no great loss.
Was it effective? My main goal was having a Twitter-like community without supporting a Nazi bat so I mostly succeeded. As for convincing others to leave - not sure I made a dent, not sure if I even considered that as a goal. I sleep better knowing my neighbors and admin aren't Musk and I'm not putting money in Space Karen's pocket.
'The idea of ‘plant behaviour’ may seem odd, given the association of the word ‘behaviour’ with animals, including humans. When we think of classic animal behaviours – dancing honeybees, dogs wagging their tails, primates grooming each other – we may wonder what there could possibly be in plant life corresponding to this.'

'How loss of the germline increases longevity in C. elegans has remained unknown. This study shows that germline ablation is sensed by adhesion disruption between germline stem cells (GSCs) and gonadal niche cells, altering stromal expression patterns and cytokine secretion for enhanced longevity signalling in distal tissues.'

Stop the silent extinction crisis beneath the waves
Over 70% of our Earth is ocean, yet the way we are interacting with it is deeply damaging to it and the creatures that live in it.
Without drastic action, uniquely Australian species could disappear before we even get a chance to know them. Endangered hammerheads will still be fished in the Great Barrier Reef, and iconic species like sawfish may no longer cruise our coasts and rivers.
Save Our Endangered Sharks & Rays.

“Many airlines still don’t guarantee family seating, which means parents wonder if they’ll have to pay extra just to be seated with their young child,” Mr. Buttigieg said in a statement. “Flying with children is already complicated enough without having to worry about that.”

'A subset of regulatory T cells expressing the transcription factor RORγ decreased in frequency in the colon and cecum after activation of spinal sensory neurons expressing the pain receptor Trpv1. These neurons communicated with the T cells directly through the calcitonin gene–related peptide.'

'The Samoa episode fits Kennedy’s M.O. As an anti-vax champion, he has decried vaccinations as unsafe and ineffective—repeating the debunked notion that vaccines cause autism—and he has boosted attempts throughout the world to convince people to eschew vaccines. Yet when he has been questioned critically about these efforts, he has issued false denials and contended that he’s just raising questions and calling for more research.'

Ignoring the efforts of U.S. President Joe Biden and the condemnation of many allies, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is forcing the pace of the war in Gaza and feeding the revolt of the far right. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/08/03/world/politics/israel-netanyahu-rogue-war/ #worldnews #politics #benjaminnetanyahu #israel #israelhamaswar #hamas

It'll be interesting to see what happens next. And interesting to note that this dip was triggered by Intel's mismanagement
'Many politicians, pundits, and the general public now favor the lab leak idea. Most scientists, particularly virologists, do not. This schism threatens their legitimate and ultimately socially important work, as outlined in a peer-reviewed publication published on August 1 in the Journal of Virology that was written by 41 virologists. I am one of them.'

#BBCNews on #BBCWorldService :
Two of the most high-profile Russian dissidents freed as part of yesterday's prisoner swap said they refused officials' demands to plead for mercy from president #putin to secure their release. Vladimir #Karamurza and Ilya #Yashin were speaking alongside Andrey #Pivovarov at a news conference in Germany. They said they considered the #Russian president a tyrant, a murderer and a war criminal. Mr Karamurza said he wouldn't ask for a pardon when he wasn't guilty

Paris Olympics have:
•Russian athletes competing despite Russia invading Ukraine
•Israeli athletes competing despite Israel committing genocide of Palestinians
•A Dutch athlete competing despite being a literal child rapist
But the most hate by far is reserved for an Algerian Muslim woman because she committed the crime of being good at boxing 😐
