Pretty big #news that will be missed by #mainstream #journalists - #deepmind have now #mapped tonnes of #predicted #protein #structures , a major #achievement using #alphafold https://www.deepmind.com/blog/alphafold-.. This could really have massive implications across multiple #genome related #projects .
Hah, #nyt #newyorktimes are now telling their #journalists to #reduce #twitter #usage after #elonmusk bought 10% of their #shares https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/nyt.. Very telling.
#congratulations to #china 's #ccp for #arresting and #imprisoning the largest number of #journalists than any other #country https://www.zerohedge.com/political/chin.. This is in theory expected on the basis of #population size, but even so, it's not a list you want to find yourself on top of.
#us #president #presssecretary #psaki admits to kicking out #journalists because they were about to ask non- #approved #questions - how dare they! The #press was almost free to do its job! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-DQVf3c.. The #biden situation is absolutely insane...
" #terrorists are pieces of shit, #women most affected": https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfre.. #journalists at #theguardian and their #bigbrains figured out that people that have low regard for other human's lives, also don't think so much about their partner's well-being. But according to this, it's actually #misogyny ... Where do they find these people?
The #floods in #china have been awful, but arguably the response by the #ccp has been much worse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxmKcdrp.. The #threatening of #foreign #bbc #journalists for reporting the truth, the lies about the number of #deaths (particularly in their ' #smarttunnel ') , the hiding #flowers people left for loved ones, and many other things. It's the #chinese people who suffer the most from #communism ...
I'm not sure what is more shocking, #china 's #ccp calling for a #manhunt of #bcc #journalists for reporting on the #henan province #floods - or the fact the BBC still has some journalistic integrity: https://www.lotuseaters.com/chinese-comm.. Jokes aside, I wish them good health and that nothing bad happens to them. Hopefully the BBC now takes China's #hostility seriously.
There is speculation on the tech community over on #hackernews that #apple is #patching the #pegasus #zeroday #exploit #bug currently being actively used against #journalists and #politicians https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=279.. Whatever the exploit is that they are patching, they have so far released *zero information* about it, not even a #cve number! It's quite seriously and actively being rolled out to all #ios devices in the wild.
Every step the #uk take towards #freedom - we take another backward: https://www.lotuseaters.com/patel-to-int.. The #government are looking to #prosecute #journalists for #embarrassing them - this will end well!
I'm not even surprised, it is well known that #governments around the world #spy on #journalists https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/j.. This is exactly the shit that #snowden , #manning and #assange were warning people about. And of course the #democrats are in on this in the #us - they used exactly this to spy on #trump and continue to try to get #snowden currently in the #uk - arrested for no reason.

I'm not saying she was even wrong to do so either, it's just that releasing information about somebody's internet activities will have some affect on their career opportunities. #journalists have *alot* of power (although that is slowly fading) - and it needs to be used correctly.#kashmirhill is getting upset that #cancelculture is now being used by people on the right to cancel people on the left: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/29/techn.. The latest victim is #emilywilder who got fired from the #associatedpress - a few weeks after getting the job for anti-Palestine comments. To all this I cannot help but think it's hypocritical, you only realize the negative effects of cancel culture when it affects your political 'side'. Too late.
