Trump lässt morden, zerschlägt den Rechtsstaat, droht Nachbarn mit Einmarsch und verwandelt die USA in eine Autokratie. Und wir schenken ihm dieses Jahr die Teilnahme an einer mehrwöchigen Dauerwerbesendung namens Fußball-WM? Diskutiert das eigentlich jemand oder fahren wir da einfach hin?

This is not an insult or #plantblindness- this is just idiotic.
Adding insult to injury, they go on to say that Arabidopsis thaliana COULD be considered an important model too... but not really. "Seats are limited", and how important is food really??

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important
⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.
The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.
