mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io - Students of US history understand what Lincoln knew: One reason you can't have slavery in some parts of the country and not in others, is because slaves run to the free parts.
But many of those same students don't realize that you can't block women's reproductive rights in some parts of the country and let it be legal in others. People travel to California. This frustrates the racists.
The racists are coming for women's rights everywhere. Nationwide. And they will use racism to accomplish it.

This interview with Philipp Ball hones in on the most interesting point of his book How Life Works.
Biological beings are not a kind of machine. Cells would not work if they were made out of tightly coupled cogs like in a mechanical living robot thing. Life on the molecular level is extremely fuzzy and things have multiple purposes all at once. I find that super hard to understand and yet infinitely interesting.
Beings are neither code nor machine but its own thing.

Ook vind ik ook als D66er dat we de lagere inkomens en kwetsbare groepen moeten ontzien. Het kabinet maakt in mijn ogen niet op alle punten de juiste keuzes.

Good analysis, my initial personal take was too pessimistic I think.
The EU's decision to secure the funding of Ukraine's war for the next two years is one of the most important developments of the entire year. It is a disaster for Russia, and it shows what Europe exerting itself as a strategic actor looks like in practice.

Waarin we zien dat BA.3.2 een beetje rond de 45% is blijven hangen en dus net niet dominant lijkt te zijn geworden.
Op het moment lijkt juist het aandeel NB.1.8.1 weer toe te nemen maar dit gaat wel om week 2 waarin nog maar 16 samples geanalyseerd zijn.
De update over twee weken kan dus nog best anders uitvallen, met een alsnog dominante BA.3.2.
