Interesting. I am playing with Aspergillus genomes and noticed the flavus/oryzae mixed populations as well. Very confusing for a newcomer!

Decided against buying a shiny trinket and have bought you (well, the cats πŸ˜‰) the Whiskas 1+ dry food. Every little but helps.

Also, aren't foreigners like me not paying for those benefits via our National Insurance and other contributions? If we contribute we have a right on those benefits.

When I started university, I was invited to a tutor lunch. It meant we had to bring our own sandwiches, and the tutor had his secretary bring coffee and tea.

Badenoch is so good at her job.

Another Oxford PPE graduate. They should be muzzled preventively and put in isolation cells, never to have contact with the outsiee world again.

That study has producednso many overconfident idiots.

Ah yes, masked anonymous racist violent shits who target anyone not lilywhite, illegal arrests, etc.

Out-Trussing Truss in stupidity and hate.

They are not consistent with their papaya rules. Force Piastri in Monza, but not here. They favour Norris.

McLaren again trying to help Norris to beat Piastri. Papaya rukes are not to touch your teammate, but he rams into him.

Just shows how stupid and anti-sport McLaren is. Let them race and thag means let Piastri ram him back out of the race. Teaches Norris to stay away and learn to overtake fairly.

Sorry I keep talking about this but I’m genuinely alarmed by the growing narrative that poverty is a cause of racism. First it’s super insulting of people on low incomes. Second it normalises & excuses racist takes. And third it deters real action on racism by shifting the whole focus to economics.

Police to get new powers to crack down on repeated protests, says Home Office Move follows arrest of almost 500 people at latest pro-Palestinian demonstration in London on Saturday

The road to fascism and dictatorial repression is not by goosestepping, but by "well-meaning" idiots in power.

This all started when frothing authoritarian Yvette Cooper felt that peaceful protest against genocide is more a danger than violence against refugees.

Start arresting fascists then (including your many rotten apple colleagues), instead of harmless protesters. Tell the frothing Home Secretaries to eff off.

They hate foreigners so much and let it drive their few fun tioning brain cells.

Another plan so stupid, it hurts.

Get better acquaintances. The ones saying "we don't mean her" are the worst kind of racist xenophobic shits, they just do it casually.

And tell them why they should f*** off to hell.
