Moldova votes for the EU, despite a huge Russian influence and vote-buying campaign. It was not subtle. A BBC producer "heard a woman who had just dropped her ballot in the transparent box ask an election monitor where she would get paid."

Dawkins has never heard of hermaphrodites apparently.

Someoneโ€™s got the old geezer cranked up again

It looks like itโ€™s Jerry Coyne. Those two need to be separated โ€” every time they get together they start hooting and jumping on the furniture and throwing unmentionables out the window.โ€ฆ

saying "I was wrong" in meetings: boring. puts the blame on you.

"I hallucinated": modern. shows you're using the latest tech. it's not your fault you're wrong.

If you use telegram, you should be aware that the company cooperates with the Russian authorities. Several instances of censorship of "dis-favored' channels on the platform have been documented by independent Russian journalists. There may also be direct cooperation with FSB on surveillance (https://www.wired.com/story/the-kremlin-has-entered-the-chat/)

This hack isn't limited to just the 14,000 people 23andMe claimed, nor even to the 6.9 million (half their total userbase) that this article outlines - it also indirectly exposes every known relative of those 6.9 million, even though they signed up for nothing. That non-consensual profiling is the real issue with all these services.
