Whitehouse propaganda minister Karoline Leavitt insisted,
“Everything I’m telling you is the truth backed by real, factual data,
and you just don’t want to report on it ’cause you want to push untrue narratives about the president.'”
The “real, factual data” that underpinned Leavitt’s statement was specious at best.
The actual inflation rate for September was 3%,
-- not the 2.5% figure cherry-picked from economic data.
The rise in real wages?

Karoline Leavitt’s White House briefing doublethink is straight out of Orwell’s ‘1984’
A historian analyzes how White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s claims about her boss and his administration are ‘doublespeak’ straight out of the pages of George Orwell’s ‘1984.’

Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
Bdelloid rotifers are a microplankton that reproduce using parthenogenesis (female clones), but when environmental conditions become adverse (e.g. pond dries up), they can turn themselves into an extraordinaryly resistant inert "tun" through a process called cryptobiosis (like brine shrimp). Recently, Russian scientists thawed out

image/jpeg a series of 6 microscopic photos shows the revival of a dried inert form of a dark orange rotifer. The organism gradually extends into the adult form which is elongated with a pointed tail and ciliated mouthparts at the head. Stills from video taken by Christian Colin. http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artsep08/wd-rotifer.html
