alice, without malice?.....When a friend asked him about his religious views, Carroll wrote in response that he was a member of the Church of England, but "doubt[ed] if he was fully a 'High Churchman'". He added:
reflections about the universe...Microvilli (singular: microvillus) are microscopic cellular membrane protrusions that increase the surface area for diffusion and minimise any increase in volume, and are involved in a wide variety of functions, including absorption, secretion, cellular adhesion, and mechano-transduction.
the garbage of US kultur...Fleeing from wars, armed conflicts and various militant activities, migrants from Africa and Asia continue to make risky attempts to enter the EU by various means, often using risky and perilous routes. However, streams of refugees in Europe have increased in recent days amid the events in Ukraine. So, after the outright genocide of the Russian-speaking population in Ukraine by Kiev’s neo-Nazi authorities, especially in Donbass, where, according to incomplete figures, more than 13,000 citizens of that country have died in the last eight years, almost 200,000 refugees have already taken refuge in Russia in recent days.
and you trust this country of thugs, torturers and liars...Abu Zubaydah, whom the CIA once mistakenly alleged was a top Al-Qaeda leader, was waterboarded 80-plus times, subjected to assault in the form of forced rectal exams, and exposed to live burials in coffins for hundreds of hours. Zubaydah sobbed, twitched and hyperventilated. During one waterboarding session, he became completely unresponsive, with bubbles coming out of his mouth. “He became so compliant that he would prepare for waterboarding at the snap of a finger,” Neil Gorsuch wrote in his 30-page dissent in United States v. Zubaydah.
zelensky is working with the russians...In chemotherapy, the treatment is pushed to the limit bordering with killing the patient. Something was troubling young Gus-the-Elder. Why would Zelensky let the Russians in by being a little dickhead and making noises about joining NATO and having nukes on Ukrainian soil? Zelensky would have to know that this would IRK the Ruskies no end.
the empire - the musical... — going to the dogs and dying in the swan lake...Orchestra drops Tchaikovsky for being ‘inappropriate’ The Cardiff Philharmonic removes Tchaikovsky from its program in light of the conflict in Ukraine An upcoming all-Tchaikovsky concert by Wales’ Cardiff Philharmonic Orchestra has been deemed problematic, and the program has been redesigned to remove all pieces by the famed Russian composer.
social sciences are a contradiction in terms...COSSA, the Consortium of Social Science Organizations, has long been one of the most important voices speaking up for the various social sciences. It seeks to bring home to both government officials and the public in general a sense of the important contributions that the social sciences have made and can make to our national well being. It emphasizes the many ways that it is in our national interest to ensure the adequate funding of social scientists and social science research going forward.
leading the world while getting old, dithery and drinking too much vodka...Top US officials have already been mocked for their bizarre choice of words and gaffes when it comes to the Ukraine crisis. President Joe Biden, for his part, happened to call Ukrainians "the Iranian people".
the US should not throw stones from inside their own glasshouse..."And despite Russia’s best efforts, the media – and everyday Ukrainians – are documenting this truth on the ground.
lead up the garden path.....I shall the effect of this good lesson keep, As watchman to my heart. But, good my brother, Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven; Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine, Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads, And recks not his own rede.
What role did the United States play in creating conditions for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and what will it take to end the war?
you're one in ten billion mugs...We believe law enforcement should have the most cutting-edge technology available to investigate crimes, enhance public safety, and provide justice to victims.
And that's why we developed a revolutionary, web-based intelligence platform for law enforcement to use as a tool to help generate high-quality investigative leads. Our platform, powered by facial recognition technology, includes the largest known database of 10+ billion facial images sourced from public-only web sources, including news media, mugshot websites, public social media, and other open sources.

your ass and their assets...The obscene wealth of the world's billionaires doesn't just mean they get to lead lives of luxury. It also means they have almost complete control of the economy — control that is fundamentally undemocratic and unjust.
Oxfam’s most recent report on global wealth inequality paints a grim picture of the changes that have taken place in the world economy over the course of the pandemic. According to research from the charity, the world’s ten richest men doubled their wealth over the course of the past year, meaning they earned the equivalent of $1.3 billion per day.
oil barons support putin's barney that bolsters their barreling profits...Even before Russia’s tanks started rolling into Ukraine, we were already hearing that the best way to stop Vladimir Putin’s aggression is to ramp up fossil fuel production in North America. Within hours of the invasion, every planet-torching project that the climate justice movement had managed to block over the past decade was being frantically rushed back onto the table: every canceled oil pipeline, every nixed gas export terminal, every protected fracking field, every Arctic drilling dream. Since Putin’s war machine is funded with petrodollars, the solution, we are told, is to drill, frack, and ship more of our own — no matter the cost to our planet and our future.

on the footrest of greatness...The choice is stark for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky: accept that his defeat is inevitable and accept Russian terms for surrender or continue to seek a way for NATO to become perilously involved in his fight against Moscow. Russia is making three demands of Kiev to end the war on its terms: recognize Crimea as part of Russia; grant independence to Lugansk and Donetsk in the Donbass and enshrine Ukraine as a neutral state in its constitution, meaning it will never join NATO. A 90-minute meeting in Turkey on Thursday between the Russian and Ukrainian foreign ministers resulted in no progress at all towards a solution, as this phase of the war enters its third week.
