Qué gentuza... Todo el espectro de patologías mentales en una foto, balbuceando imbecilidades mientras esperan nerviosos que la Embajada Yankee les mande el guion de lo que tienen que repetir...
#Science#Ageing: "When you make proteins, they usually fold up into their normal shape and do their thing, but as they age, proteins can unfold. When they unfold, they expose the inside amino acids, which are sort of sticky. And so these proteins tend to aggregate. They’re bad for the cell, so the cell has lots of ways of trying to deal with unfolded proteins.
What you want to do is shut down protein synthesis. It’s a bit like if you have a traffic jam, you want to stop new cars from entering. And that’s what a protein called TOR does. Whenever there’s stress, TOR will shut down protein synthesis, and this seems to have an effect on ageing because it also turns on degradation and recycling pathways. These metabolic pathways indirectly slow down ageing.
This provides a biological explanation for the long-standing observation that if you calorically restrict animals, providing them with just enough calories to survive, they tend to live longer. Now, of course, nobody likes caloric restriction. Even mice. As soon as you stop caloric restriction, they start gorging on food. I think it might be easier to take a pill that has the same effect, and I joke that this is a “get out of kale free card”. But actually, we’re nowhere near." https://archive.ph/FtAWi
@Sherifazuhur@iran@oman We need to manifest against all the imperialist actions of war that are in course around the world (NATO, IDF, etc.). There's a historical declination of capitalism which impulse this lifebuoys of invasion and massacre, war as industrial business, destroying the lives of the working class masses. We can't allow the development of more wars between western imperialism and eastern bureaucracy.
I can find only one major journalism organization -- the Guardian US -- that a) understands the accelerating threats to our democracy; b) relentlessly explains what is happening; and c) has proudly assumed the role of an advocate for saving democracy.
I'm fairly sure that other Big Journalism orgs understand. A (scant) few have even begun to give this the ongoing coverage it requires.
But apart from the Guardian, they can't be bothered to become the advocates we desperately need.
😂 Elon Musk just crawled from under a rock and discovered something that has been bothering people for years. It is just too funny not to share this one.
@FlyingSquid In my humble experience and understanding 'centrism' has been always an euphemism for 'far right' for the "politically correct" miserable cowards...
@FMT99 Agree, but I don't see this as a recent development. Dogmatic absolutism, or mere dogmatism, has been a very long and old issue -not just in the left, obviously.
Anyway, about police, the problem ain't single ones, but the social role that apparatus plays in the social regime. (Most police individuals usually came from the working class...)
I played some #Pathfinder2E and had some beer and I'm feeling genuinely happy for the first time in a long while. I don't know if it's the beer or my friends but it's probably both.
The last few weeks have been rough to me. I'm glad I could let loose for a bit.
A few weeks ago I asked about Fediverse apps that are as unlike as Mastodon as possible. People pointed me to some quite interesting ones, like playing chess over ActivityPub or public transport delay announcements https://social.coop/@J12t/110843539252937792
@elenac Buena medida. El contraste entre las jugadoras que se solidarizan y renuncian y los que pretenden imponer el maltrato y abuso no podría ser más marcado, salvo que acaban de salir campeonas del mundo, ¿es que estos mandriles no tienen sentido de la proporción o el ridículo? Qué bestias... #SeAcabó Solidaridad desde #Argentina.
@thejapantimes Understandable, each step towards social common benefit, welfare and solidarity, its a step back for individual profit realized in the market from labour force exploitation.

If you have notes in Evernote it might be a good time to make sure they are safely backed up! Evernote looks to have fired almost all its employees. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36609641
@organicmaps You guys are awesome! I have a 7-year-old iPhone SE, and I had great difficulty making use of apple and google maps. My phone doesn't support 5G and downloading those maps would take too long to reasonably use. Now I don't have to worry about download speeds. The maps I've downloaded all take up an impressively small amount of space. Plus, its privacy-respecting open source software!
@Mastodon Hi, thanks for the news and the work and sorry to bother: wasn't quote posts' absence an intentional feature not a bug?, I have kind of a recollection in that sense... Thanks a lot.
