I had never known about Giulianni inciting a riot of racist cops against a black mayor as part of how he became mayor himself jfc
particularly disturbing is all the quotes from opinion columnists at the time all saying in unison that Mayor Dinkins was "playing the race card" because he said the riot of cops all screaming the n-word and calling him a "washroom attendant" might have been about race

Libyan pirates attacked a boat full of Syrian and Lebanese refugees including kids and kidnapped them.
Greek and Maltese authorities were informed but refused to do anything.
Meanwhile, the EU has given Libya half a billion $ since 2015.
The EU is basically funding using terror against children and this isn't even hyperbole.
All to keep as many nonwhites as possible out of Europe.
This is a great podcast:
"This nine-part series tells the story of Salvador Allende, socialist president of Chile in the early 1970s, and his efforts to wrest control of technology from multinational corporations to create a fairer local economy."

New study of authors who submit work to #predatory journals.
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02553-1
Some are cynical (padding their resumes), some very naïve, some a strange mix:
"I was shocked by how adrift many authors seemed when faced with the workings of scholarly publishing…Several researchers mistook me for a journal and replied to my #survey e-mail by attaching articles, with comments thanking me in advance for their 'next quick publication' or asking me 'how much it will cost them in dollars'."
' Some of these hunters, writes Flores, may have genuinely believed that these animal populations were inexhaustible, but plenty understood the likely consequences of their actions. Decades after the slaughter, a hunter named Frank Meyer reflected on the origins of “buffalo fever”: “Maybe we were just a greedy lot who wanted to get ours and to hell with posterity, the buffalo, and anyone else…. I think maybe that is the way it was.”

'It is somewhat surprising that despite the widespread use of the seminal works by Berg and Purcell (1) and De Lisi (17), there has been put so little emphasis on the understanding of the biophysics of the molecular interactions of the two central actors in the humoral immune response, BCRs, and Abs, with their cognate Ags.'

'Most problems surrounding the description of the submolecular world come from frustrated attempts to reconcile conflicting pictures of waves and particles, leaving us with inconsistent chimeras such as particle-like nuclei surrounded by wave-like electrons. This image doesn’t capture quantum theory’s predictions. To compensate, our conceptual reconstruction of matter at the submolecular level should consistently describe how nuclei and electrons behave when not observed – like the proverbial sound of a tree falling in the forest without anyone around.'

Henri Becquerel died #OTD in 1908.
He was the first person to discover evidence of radioactivity. For work in this field he, along with Marie Skłodowska-Curie and Pierre Curie, received the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics, for the discovery of spontaneous radioactivity. The SI unit for radioactivity, the becquerel (Bq), is named after him. via @wikipedia

'The researcher Amelia Hesketh’s Ph.D. work found that organisms struggled to reestablish themselves in hot temperatures, even when the death of other organisms opened up precious real estate. That could result in less biodiversity in the long term.'
