You have the right to protest, but be sure not to try to influence the government!
The judge and prosecution alike have attempted to portray the trio’s actions as intended to “influence a government” – language central to the British government’s legal definition of “terrorism.”
Germany tried to get people to leave voluntarily, they didn’t want to pay for the deportations they wanted (which they also did do a lot, they paid a price per person to other states to take deportees. As much as possible they tried to use stolen assets to fund expulsion). Only mentioning this because this is happening in the US right now and that’s one of the elements I found especially disgusting after reading Arendt’s Eichmann in Jerusalem. The collaboration of other states who should have read the signs and intervened instead of making deals.

If you ever fall in the water remember you don’t need to be able to swim to float! Try to stay calm and pull a big breath of air into your lungs to make you more buoyant. Put your chest towards the sky and lean your head back. Spread your arms over your and and open your legs a bit like you’re making a snow angel. Take small breaths so you keep as much air as possible in your lungs. Call for help! Obviously harder in choppy water than calm, but you don’t need to expend energy dog paddling while you wait for someone to notice and help.
I’m fine with the probiotic bit, but they made it sound like they put it into a ‘synthetic organ’ and I find engineering little organs creepy (though neat). If it’s just a super-probiotic I’m not creeped out! Either way I’m excited for all the people.
Thinking about a little synthetic organ chillin’ in there gives me heebie jeebies! So does my aunt’s pig heart valve though.
I HATE IT but I hope it works
Using synthetic biology techniques, the research team engineered a probiotic with a century-long history of safety into an “intelligent virtual organ” that can be taken orally and reside temporarily in the intestine. It can sense blood glucose fluctuations in real time and autonomously secrete glucose-lowering hormones, enabling therapeutic dosing in response to real-time blood glucose levels, and providing a programmable, orally deliverable sense-and-respond platform for metabolic therapy without transplantation.
Well if they end the war to qualify…
Edit: oh wow this whole time I thought it meant participating my bad everyone
Kind of cowardly, but still everyone will read this as an Israel ban so I guess it’s a win
Reports say they meddled in the 2025 mayor election in NYC. Mayor of NYC is a big deal because NYC is such a large economy, not to mention a cultural center.
Same I stop it first (before zero) then open the door. I want to give the radiation time to drain.
Inventing something to eat again
Well almost everyone in the country has served in the IDF
This confirms the reason they haven’t shuttered it already is because they still rely on it for their codebase
Yep and the US wants everyone staunchly anti-immigrant right now, can’t have Spain breaking rank on our collective turn to fascism
I suspect their suspicions are correct
I mainly remember my aunt taping marathons and stuff off live TV (trying NOT to record the commercials by pausing the recording during them)
Stones River Market, out of Murfreesboro! I think they’re still up and running.
Hopefully with enough of us thinking about these things the dots will eventually connect.
Two of the places I’ve lived (US) have had awesome co-op distribution systems for local farmers to distribute food. The first was in Tennessee in a suburbanish area. A nonprofit coordinated pickups from farms in the area and rented a small storefront in the historic downtown with fridges. Weekly you could shop online for local produce, dairy, meat, and even some baked goods. I was a student and was grateful they took food stamps!
I’ve found a similar situation where I am now (big city). Another farm co-op where a non-profit facilitates the transportation and storefront, but this one only offers produce. Instead of picking up at a central location the food is dropped off at host houses locally for pickup.
For years I’ve had the looming suspicion that a thoughtfully engineered logistics logic could make a huge difference in grassroots organizing for food security. We need logistics that connect resources to need. We need it to be well organized and easy to contribute to with well defined roles whether it be by committing to grow food, lending equipment for transportation, or driving goods from A to B. Current logistics logic caters to giant factory farms and mega corps.
I like it, or maybe “traitor.” If every person that passed me hissed “traitor” or “pervert” I probably wouldn’t want to wear conspicuous markers of my partnership with the surveillance state.
