Short video about what we do in the MicroMon project hosted in @azti.bsky.social (funded by Spanish govt. and EU) with estuary microbial communities, their global biogeography, interactions, effects of environmental impacts, and their use in eDNA-based monitoring.

Då skulle de ju riskera att faktiskt föra en politik som folk vill ha och stjäla röster från SD och resten av nynazisterna i den s k "högern" (dvs de ännu mer extremnyliberala än S, nu även med fascistisk retorik och genuint hat av människor baserat på utvald etnisk bakgrund a k a rasism)

"The lie is so big that it reorders the world. And so part of telling the big lie is that you immediately say it's the other side that tells the big lie. Sadly, but it's just a matter of record, all of that is in Mein Kampf"

Trump: "We're gonna be reducing the cost of medicines by 100%, 200%, 300%, 500% and even more than that."

It's chilling when no journalist or other person even dares point it out or just ask "ok, so how cheap will it be if it now costs $100 and you reduce the price 500%"?

It is, for their MAGA supporters, and for many in the GOP sect itself, I think. The others know how to use it. This is nothing new and very similar to the propaganda style of the German nazis (grosse lüge, etc) but taken one step further.

So, it doesn't matter. I'm pretty sure they sometimes come up with stupid shit like this just to provoke, to show how only "losers" will care that it's clearly ridiculous and everyone "important" will nod approvingly. Absolute power, emperors new clothes-style

There's a very clear pattern - facts don't matter and anyone trying to find counter arguments to the fascists based on facts, the real world, logic or even pure maths is an evil "antifa" and a target for them. And their supporters don't listen to facts, logic, maths, science or arguments, anyway.

"Don't worry, in the midterms elections, voters will...". Yes, sure buddy. Keep hoping for that and don't resist, things will go just splendidly.

Way to go for manipulating elections - simply buy the companies that produce and service the machines used with money stolen from the voters. Very rechtsstat. But as long as people "can vote" most will believe they live in a democracy

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

Béarnaisesås innehåller sällan varken folk, fä, smör eller ens ägg från Bearn, vilket är skandal. Och spagetti carabonara innehåller inga kolgruveatbetare medan sotare inte innehåller, trots namnet, sotare, ingendera ens sot! Här har EU något att verkligen ta tag i, gärna med hårdhandskarna

Köttprodukter som EU borde tvinga byta namn pga missvisande:

🚫 Laxfjäril (innehåller faktiskt inte fjäril)
🚫 Fransyska (innehåller inte fransk kvinna)
🚫 Flintastek (innehåller inga stenar som var i ropet på stenåldern)
🚫 Biff Rydberg (är oftast inte kött från kroppen av någon med det namnet)

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

"to do us harm". The dehumanisation and hatred is so thick. Having people like this in charge of the US is like putting a rabies infected, crazed and blood thirsty dog as lead dog.

Anders Lanzén @lanzen.bsky.social · 3d

And without love, intellect, logic, ability to reason, trust, care, question your own judgement or even wild guesses, and more. The world the US is quickly becoming

Anders Lanzén @lanzen.bsky.social · 3d

The whole US administration and a majority of its people used to be so antifa that they went to war against Nazi Germany. Easy to forget, nowadays that the regime is not just ridiculously clearly fascist but also led by some kind of idiot version of Hitler.

Spain has implemented an arms embargo against Israel, showing how it’s done. Every other state that does not follow suit, and which continues to supply arms to the Zionists, must be understood as not only complicit but a partner in the genocide.

Has there been any previous regime anywhere stupid enough to shut down their own ability to collect taxes just bc it fits their fascist narrative that society is corrupt and must be destroyed and replaced (with dystopia and death)?

If they're compressed it might take at least 2 minutes on a decent internet connection.. Should I guess you are using a non-functioning website that makes thus irrelevant (no names mentioned but it surprises me wildly that Illumina Base space is still around and a single human being tolerated it..)

..In other news, Billy the Kid admits that making it illegal to carry arms and in banks would basically kill the bank robbing industry overnight.

Anders Lanzén @lanzen.bsky.social · 3d

Good. That's just another reason to do it. And if it weren't, killing human culture and making it unsustainable to be an artist on one hand vs a software industry that is slightly useful for some specific tasks at best, but also a threat to the survival of humanity. Wow, it's so hard to choose..
