I Compared US and UK Free Speech. I Was Shocked
YouTube video by Evan Edinger I Compared US and UK Free Speech. I Was Shocked

Quite an interesting glance at freedom of speech. I'm not often one to push Youtube influencer crap, but this one stood out as being particularly valid and worth watching.

A small polymerase ribozyme that can synthesize itself and its complementary strand The emergence of a chemical system capable of self-replication and evolution is a critical event in the origin of life. RNA polymerase ribozymes can replicate RNA, but their large size and structural ...

"For life to emerge, a primordial system must have been able to propagate genetic information without the complex machinery of modern biology. RNA has long been proposed to fulfill this role through self-replication"...

The former Minister-President of Baden-WΓΌrttemberg lost to the Green party yesterday. When asked if he had considered electoral cooperation with the AfD, he answered:

For me, no office in the world is so important that I would allow myself to be elected to it with the votes of the AfD.

Excellent!

Americans: we live in a fallen stateβ€”embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best

Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!

Odd. Are they suggesting a kind of evangelical DEI?

Just heard someone refer to Hegseth and his Crusaderbros as "Yeehadists" and now I can't stop snickering.

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for β€œArmageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

Because killing the leader of a religious group and turning him into a martyr generally suffices to keep that movement quiet... right? RIGHT? πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

The violent death and perceived martyrdom of religious leaders seldom has a pacifying effect on a deeply religious people.

We're at the stage of the American story where the people are angry, starving, and ignored, the legions are poorly paid and exhausted, and where the stairs of the senate are looking suspiciously like a nice place to ambush the leader.

"Et tu, JD?" would make for a fitting end to the story.

Oh, yes, killing religious figures has a proven track record of stopping religious movements. Definitely. πŸ™„

Damnit. I thought the Resistance would be easier, given that my office is on the 2nd floor. I was picturing Daleks.

I'm still of the opinion that we need to start referring to Atwood as "The Prophet." She got SO MUCH right. When will the Trump administration start paying her royalties?
