Funny how “God” worked it out for the octopus but not humans. Huh.

So the man being attacked here is actually a South African from Limpopo. His only “crime” was failing to respond in Zulu when he was asked to produce a passport, simply because he was suspected of being a kwerekwere.

there really is a whole other world out there

New Quanta article looks at one of the coolest tiny machines in biology - the bacterial flagellar motor. It’s basically a microscopic spinning engine that bacteria use to move. After decades of trying to fully understand it, scientists are finally figuring out how it actually works. The motor is powered by a flow of charged particles (kind of like a tiny battery), which creates force and makes it rotate. So what looks like something alive and mysterious is really just an incredibly advanced microscopic machine running on the same basic rules as everything else. More broadly, the article addresses the idea of a "life force." It argues that no special force is needed to explain life. Instead, biological activity arises from physical processes that operate far from equilibrium, where constant energy flow keeps the system active and organized. The flagellar motor shows that living systems can be understood as energy driven, self organizing systems. What appears to be uniquely "alive" can be explained by standard physical laws, such as thermodynamics and molecular interactions. Physics pushed to an extreme level of complexity.

Some time ago, I begged someone to consent to a cesarean section. There was a clear fetal indication for CS. She declined. She ultimately gave birth normally, but the baby didn’t score well. She even celebrated that she had been coerced into a CS but ultimately gave birth normally, that is what she told fellow mothers in labour. A year later, I met her, the child hasn’t even sat without support. I felt sad. I couldn’t even talk with her. Some things drain you emotionally.

There is a reason founding fathers of this country Nigeria kept most of its security headquarters in the North. The answer is simple the north is the only part of Nigeria that have never dreamt of seceding. Tinubu is now gradually balkanizing some of this agencies and moving them away to other part.

🚨🗣️ Achraf Hakimi: "Why was I angry with Endrick? I wanted him to stop doing things against our supporters. For him to play football, especially since he's a good player." "But when he does things that aren't related to football, it can piss me off, especially since we were on the verge of losing."
