"New Covid virus found to be extremely vaccine/previously acquired immunity evasive: as expected because these new strains are so diverse they are basically new viruses"
Heute begehen Christinnen & Christen weltweit das Hauptfest ihres Glaubens: #Ostern. Das Auferstehungsfest Christi geht auf das jüdische #Pessach-Fest zurück, dieses entfaltete sich durch #Schismogenese in der Auseinandersetzung mit #Babylon. Durch all diese Traditionen zieht sich ein das Leben bejahendes #Dennoch.

They're not getting #vaccinated, they ❤️ #guns so much they give them to their children, and now won't eat fresh fruit & vegetables b/c they think they may have "vaccine taint" on them???
Un gioco ispirato al viaggio di Charles #Darwin alle Galapagos. Si chiama “Darwin's Journey” ed è meno facile di quel che sembra...
Darwin’s Journey, annunciato nel 2021 con una campagna di raccolta fondi su Kickstarter che aveva raccolto oltre un milione di euro – un risultato notevole per un eurogame – segue il viaggio che lo scienziato britannico Charles Darwin svolse nel 1835 alle Galápagos
This is an excellent @longreads article (or book excerpt rather) about #Thoreau and #Darwin (since today is Darwin's birth anniversary). It hits on so many of the major reasons why I love, and continue to be inspired by, Thoreau.
"[Thoreau] hovered between design and chance, between idealism and materialism. Which is why his argument in “The Succession of Forest Trees” is so remarkable—for Thoreau locates mystery and wonder within materialism."
Today in Writing History January 19, 1829: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's “Faust: The First Part of the Tragedy” premiered. It’s the story of a scientist who makes a pact with the devil to gain power and knowledge. It took him 37 years to complete the play. Goethe also published scientific works on anatomy and botany. In the late 1700s, he wrote that variation in plants and animals was due to descent from common ancestors. This idea later influenced Darwin, who also credited Goethe with discovering the intermaxillary bone. Goethe’s novel, “Sorrows of Young Werther,” led to a suicide craze in Europe.
These days the #FreeBSD-derived #Darwin powering #Apple's operating systems has about the same installed base as #Windows. Adding the de facto Unix #Linux and derivatives like #Android easily eclipses Microsoft's efforts several times over.
