I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

Linkee-poo just wants to have fun

One thread on identifying Russian trolls. And another thread demonstrating that those trolls aren't just on the conservative side of politics. Again, Putin's game is to destabilize the West. Trump is just a willing puppet. Putin just wants chaos. (Grokked from Chuck Wendig)

"The online campaign is using fake Antifa (an umbrella term for anti-fascist protestors) Twitter accounts to claim anti-fascists promote physically abusing women who support US President Donald Trump or white supremacy." Because this is information warfare. (Grokked from Paolo Bacigalupi)

"Commercial fishing boats are scrambling to catch as many Atlantic salmon as they can — after a net pen broke near Washington's Cypress Island. Fishers reported thousands of the non-native fish jumping in the water or washing ashore." Oops.

"At least 16 U.S. government employees in Cuba have been treated after experiencing symptoms including hearing loss." There's a Hawkwind song called "Sonic Attack" which is playing in the back of my head. So first we do microwave attacks (Russia), and now sound waves (Cuba). Although there's the possibility that it was Russia both times.

Sailing on the Moon's Seas. There is more water in the Moon than previously thought. (Grokked from Dan)

"These microglia can inflame a particular area of the brain. And in mice, this process could make the animals gain weight — even when they weren’t eating a fatty diet."
