The "Art" of Tea Blowing
"So you are a Brit and you love your national drink, and at Tea Time you stand around waiting for the kettle to boil... what do you do with the spare three or four minutes that this takes?. What you do is revive the Lost Art of Tea-Pot Blowing. You fill the pot full of liquid, press your mouth and cheeks firmly over the lidless hole in the top, creating a vacuum seal, and blow."

Global infrastructure's resilience is in digital sovereignty 💪
Following the recent global outage of Microsoft systems caused by CrowdStrike, multiple crucial services around the world were disrupted, affecting airlines, hospitals, banking, and much more.
The world needs digital resilience, especially in the public sector, which can be achieved by decentralization and diversity in infrastructure and technology.

'Many politicians, pundits, and the general public now favor the lab leak idea. Most scientists, particularly virologists, do not. This schism threatens their legitimate and ultimately socially important work, as outlined in a peer-reviewed publication published on August 1 in the Journal of Virology that was written by 41 virologists. I am one of them.'

Viral delivery of an RNA-guided genome editor for transgene-free plant germline editing
Genome editing is transforming plant biology by enabling precise DNA modifications. However, delivery of editing systems into plants remains challenging, often requiring slow, genotype-specific methods such as tissue culture or transformation.bioRxiv

Muse's musings for the day:
It's much easier to be for something than to be against something.
Being against something can be disspiriting and cause burnout.
It can mess with your mental and emotional well-being, and be self eroding.
There is absolutely something to the concept of toxic positivity, but trust me, negativity is often toxic as well.
Like all things we need balance and nuance. We need to recognise when things are going wrong. We need to be able to say "no" and "stop". However, we cannot be consumed by only fighting wrongness. We must see a way to build functionality into our lives and our society. Be for a better world.

Being self-taught, I had a bit of impostor syndrome. A colleague (who had been formally trained) reminded me that I'd auditioned for the job against formally trained chefs who had experience at high end restaurants, and that I got the job.
The audition was 'demonstrate how to part a chicken and cook something with the chicken within 30 minutes.' What made the difference is that I was comfortable teaching/speaking, as well as cooking. (I made pan-seared chicken thighs, lemon-parsley rice, and glazed carrots. The review panel - the head chef, assistant head chef, and store manager - cleaned their plates. And I know that wasn't true of one of the other candidates.)

The serious side of ‘mansplaining’ has been lost. That’s where the harm begins
Rebecca Solnit
Correcting women who are experts in their field, talking over women who are experts in their field, expecting to be the only voice that is heard in a room when others know better: these are the tip of the iceberg and should be addressed. Not allowing others to speak simply for not being culturally privileged: that's the full problem.
The serious side of ‘mansplaining’ has been lost. That’s where the harm begins
The key context of the word inspired by my 2008 essay is that mansplaining is one part of a huge problem – of who gets listened to, and who gets believed, says writer Rebecca SolnitRebecca Solnit (The Guardian)

OT but your Mitch McConnell was also epic, like some kind of screwy worm. Nobody else did that.
