Five years on, why the battle over Covid’s origins rages on

Was it a bat? The market? A lab leak? Tom Whipple examines why the pandemic continues to divide scientists and explains what it will take for the world to settle on definitive answers

Spoiler - we don't have any yet

It is satisfying to be able to read a journalist's take on a scientific (and human) issue that shows a depth and breadth of research.

Neue PC-Game-Rezi:

Das Kampfsystem bietet eine tolle Mischung aus wilden Kombinationen gegen tausende Soldat·innen und tieferen 1-gegen-1-Duellen mit stärkeren Gegner·innen. Mit »Dynasty Warriors: Origins« gelingt Omega Force ein beeindruckender Neustart der Serie. Die überarbeitete Grafik, die Rückkehr zu level-basierten Schlachtfeldern und die verbesserten Kampf-Mechaniken motivieren bis zur letzten Spielstunde.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Das Logo-Bild des PC-Spiels Dynasty Warriors: Origins zeigt hinter der Titelei ein runde, chinesisch wirkende Zeichnung mit drei sich jagenden Drachen. Dahinter sind heranreitende Personen mit Rüstungen und erhobenen Schwertern zu sehen. Rechts vorne steht eine Person mit dem Rücken zu uns. Sie hat eine bestickte Kleidung an und eine lange, schmale Klinge auf dem Rücken.

@muiren We watched Origins last night, excellent, just as we’d expected of Ava DuVernay, and are glad to see our local public library has Isabel Wilkerson’s Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents in multiple formats, including large print, sound recording, and book adaptation for young adults. montereylibrary.org/cgi-bin/ko

DVD cover for “Origin,” written and directed by Ava DuVernay; “a brilliant cinematic masterpiece” (wrote Dana Feldman, Forbes) starring Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor. The art is a profile of the face of a Black woman, includlng her upper body; her image is part of a jigsaw puzzle; the back of her head is not visible, and some puzzle pieces are placed on her head and shoulder.

If you love to cook, what's your origin story?

I love to hear how people came to love the things they love.

I grew up always knowing how to cook, especially things like soup, quiche, and scones, having sat on the bench while my Mum and Grandmother's did it, my whole life.

I initially fell in love with baking aged about 10, because it meant more treats over the school holidays. I remember learning to make chocolate chip biscuits (still a favourite) from the Women's Weekly Biscuits and Slices cookbook.

I liked home economics, and took classes in the school holidays in primary school, but I think the true love affair came when I took an apprenticeship-style course as part of the HSC, and learned to make pasta.

Pasta, like all wheat-based simple foods, is magic.

! Warning, not vegan ahead !

We also learned a lot of French classics too, like consomme, bisque and all the sauces, and old school club luncheon things like club sandwiches, eggs Benedict, and schnitzel.

Most of the skills I still use, like dicing veg small, making a roux etc. But I never did have cause to bone a chicken at home, and being vegan, I don't imagine I ever will.

"By deliberately confining people to narrow gender roles, patriarchy disadvantaged not just women, but also many men. Its intention was only ever to serve those at the very top: society's elites."

That confirms my previously established opinion so I'll run with this. 🤪

FBI informant’s book predicts far-right violence: ‘we should be afraid’

America’s fraught 2024 election could be hit by far-right #violence, warns a high-profile FBI informant who spent years infiltrating the Klu Klux Klan in a new book.

#Joe #Moore spent a decade tasked with infiltrating #KKK chapters in Florida to investigate enduring ⚠️ties between law enforcement and the white supremacist organization,
an assignment that included disrupting a murder plot by a trio of Klansmen who worked as prison guards.

Now the former US army sniper is out with a book,
"White Robes and Broken Badges",
detailing those experiences
– and applying the lessons he learned to an approaching election freighted with fears of the impact of #far-#right and #white #supremacist groups.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll in May reported that 💥two out of three Americans said they were concerned that #political #violence could follow the 5 November election.

“Unfortunately, I think it’s relevant to any time in our nation’s history, not just this election,” Moore says.

Far-right ideology has two #origins, he has come to learn.
🔸“One is geographical, where you are raised up in an area where that ideology is simply a part of a belief system.
🔸The second is a generational origin in which it’s handed down.”
