“#Universities…control the knowledge in our society,…what we call truth and what we call falsity…If any of us want to do the things that we want to do for our country, and for the people who live in it, we have to honestly and aggressively attack the universities in this country.”

Journalists who remain on Twitter at this point will be remembered for their capitulation to the forces that are working to end democracy, and by extension freedom of expression. https://mashable.com/article/elon-musk-x-twitter-pro-trump-custom-hashtag-icon

'I was particularly impressed by the marketing department at Columbia Pictures, which asserted, on reflection, that “E.T.” would have “limited audience appeal.” (Spielberg took the film to Universal.)'

'The students in Lisbon worked with what they had, publishing poetry, essays, short stories, news of daily life and events at the Casa. The magazine ran on and off between 1948 and 1964 in difficult conditions. It was impossible to write anything explicitly anticolonial without reprisal. The magazine was closely (if crudely) surveilled, and many of its writers were imprisoned. But keen readers could read between the lines.'

A parlor game from 1941 : Who among your friends will go Nazi?
"I have gone through the experience many times—in Germany, in Austria, and in France. I have come to know the types: the born Nazis, the Nazis whom democracy itself has created, the certain-to-be fellow-travelers. And I also know those who never, under any conceivable circumstances, would become Nazis."

Microbes found to destroy certain 'forever chemicals'
An environmental engineering team has discovered that specific bacterial species can cleave the strong fluorine-to-carbon bond certain kinds of 'forever chemical' water pollutants, offering promise for low-cost treatments of contaminated drinking water.

'If her unconditional support for Volodymyr Zelenskiy in the Ukraine war has been praised by experts as a step in the right direction, her equally unconditional support for Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu drew intense criticism, including from the EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell, who defined von der Leyen’s unilateral actions as carrying “a high geopolitical cost for Europe”.

'As mice age, IL-11 is upregulated across cell types and tissues to regulate an ERK–AMPK–mTORC1 axis to modulate cellular, tissue- and organismal-level ageing pathologies. Deletion of Il11 or Il11ra1 protects against metabolic decline, multi-morbidity and frailty in old age.'
