Monday. Just… eughh. That being said, this weekend wasn’t all that much fun either, so perhaps it is all for the best that we are back to work. This week promises to be a hectic one for me, at least, but all I can say is, for the time being, it’s really damn boring.
Which, of course, is why the Great Mondaydact Browser Slayer is here – to make Monday go by a lot faster.
This Monday, let’s focus on the positive, with some powerful ideas to foment discipline and drive results:
The Mighty God-Emperor
His Most Illustrious, Noble, August, Benevolent, and Legendary Celestial Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus Astra, the First of His Name, the Lion of Midnight, may the Lord bless him and preserve him, correctly called the USSA exactly what it actually is, these days:

China Syndrome
Matthew Tye, aka C-Milk, aka laowhy86, makes the extraordinarily dumb argument that the world is now in an “Allies vs Axis” situation – and that China and Russia are the new Nazis:
I get that he doesn’t like China. I share his dislike of the CPC and its methods. But you have to be really dumb to believe the CPC is somehow less legitimate, and less reflective of the will of the Chinese people, than the Uniparty elites who have bent America over a barrel and sodomised it by force for the past thirty years.
Moreover, you have to be wilfully blind and incredibly stupid to think that China actually wants to supplant America as the global hegemon. Neither the words nor the deeds of the CPC indicate anything of the sort. The Chinese simply want to build a global trading alliance that secures their supply lines by land, rather than leaving them vulnerable by sea to the US Navy. That is why they are building this immense One Belt One Road series of infrastructure projects across all of Eurasia and into Africa.
Sure, they are doing it to their economic benefit – of course they are. The Han Chinese are incredibly racist mercantilists from a low-trust culture who will happily screw over anyone they see fit, whenever they can, if it benefits them.
But they dislike war, and are utterly against the GloboHomoPaedoSatanry of the West. As far as I am concerned, that alone makes them far more worthy of support than the Small-Hat unreconstructed Trotskyites that rule over America right now.

Reading Too Much Into Things
Your “Science is F***ING WEIRD” moment of the week is from Dawn Pine, and looks at the extraterrestrial (as in, “found on an asteroid”, not “aliens did it”) origins of prebiotic molecules used in creating life on Earth:
The pristine sample from the near-Earth carbonaceous asteroid (162173) Ryugu collected by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft enabled us to analyze the pristine extraterrestrial material without uncontrolled exposure to the Earthโs atmosphere and biosphere. The initial analysis team for the soluble organic matter reported the detection of wide variety of organic molecules including racemic amino acids in the Ryugu samples. Here we report the detection of uracil, one of the four nucleobases in ribonucleic acid, in aqueous extracts from Ryugu samples. In addition, nicotinic acid (niacin, a B3ย vitamer), its derivatives, and imidazoles were detected in search for nitrogen heterocyclic molecules. The observed difference in the concentration of uracil between A0106 and C0107 may be related to the possible differences in the degree of alteration induced by energetic particles such as ultraviolet photons and cosmic rays. The present study strongly suggests that such molecules of prebiotic interest commonly formed in carbonaceous asteroids including Ryugu and were delivered to the early Earth.
We should note here that every single experiment thus far conducted, to try to replicate that “primordial soup” idea of prebiotic chemicals, amino acids, lipids, proteins, and sugars, that evolutionary biologists say was necessary for life on Earth, has, without exception, FAILED.
The tl;dr version of that paper is here in a news article:
March 21 (Reuters) – Two organic compounds essential for living organisms have been found in samples retrieved from the asteroid Ryugu, buttressing the notion that some ingredients crucial for the advent of life arrived on Earth aboard rocks from space billions of years ago.
Scientists said on Tuesday they detected uracil and niacin in rocks obtained by the Japanese Space Agency’s Hayabusa2 spacecraft from two sites on Ryugu in 2019. Uracil is one of the chemical building blocks for RNA, a molecule carrying directions for building and operating living organisms. Niacin, also called Vitamin B3 or nicotinic acid, is vital for their metabolism.
The Ryugu samples, which looked like dark-gray rubble, were transported 155 million miles (250 million km) back to Earth and returned to our planet’s surface in a sealed capsule that landed in 2020 in Australia’s remote outback for analysis in Japan.
Scientists long have pondered about the conditions necessary for life to arise after Earth formed about 4.5 billion years ago. The new findings fit well with the hypothesis that bodies like comets, asteroids and meteorites that bombarded early Earth seeded the young planet with compounds that helped pave the way for the first microbes.
Scientists previously detected key organic molecules in carbon-rich meteorites found on Earth. But there was the question of whether these space rocks had been contaminated by exposure to the Earth’s environment after landing.
“Our key finding is that uracil and niacin, both of which are of biological significance, are indeed present in extraterrestrial environments and they may have been provided to the early Earth as a component of asteroids and meteorites. We suspect they had a role in prebiotic evolution on Earth and possibly for the emergence of first life,” said astrochemist Yasuhiro Oba of Hokkaido University in Japan, lead author of the research published in the journal Nature Communications.
“These molecules on Ryugu were recovered in a pristine extraterrestrial setting,” Oba said. “It was directly sampled on the asteroid Ryugu and returned to Earth, and finally to laboratories without any contact with terrestrial contaminants.”
Yourย long read of the week is also from The Male Brain, and consists of a thought-provoking article from :Ashley Rindsberg at TabletMag about the ways in which so-called “science journals” whored themselves out to that malignant little gnome, Fraudci:
It was this small handful of peer-reviewed science and medical journalsโand to a shocking extent just these threeโon which the consumer media based key narratives, like the idea that SARS-CoV-2 could not possibly have come from a lab. Boiled down, โthe scienceโ on a given issue was often conclusively reduced to whatever these journals published.
But for the establishment science publishing community, the pandemic also had an unintended consequence. Through journalistic investigations, often powered by FOIA requests that ensnared hundreds of email exchanges with scientists and science writers, a spotlight was turned on science journalism itself. Writers like Paul Thacker, a contributor to The BMJ, Emily Kopp, a reporter for the watchdog group U.S. Right to Know, Michael Balter, who has contributed dozens of pieces to Science magazine, and the powerful decentralized group of COVID investigators called DRASTIC, exposed the inner workings of an industry that claims to speak for science but often works for political and corporate interests.
In many instances, pandemic-related science journalism smacks of questionable motives. The most high-profile example of this was the now infamous letter by 27 scientists published in The Lancet on March 7, 2020, asserting that they โoverwhelmingly concludeโ that the pandemic had a natural origin, and condemning the suggestion that the virus emerged in a lab as โconspiracy theoriesโ that put scientists lives at risk. What the 27 scientists neglected to mention is that their statement was organized by Peter Daszak, a co-author of the letter who is also the president of the NGO that facilitated U.S. government funding to the lab in Wuhan that the FBI and Department of Energy have concluded is the likely source of the pandemic.
While Daszakโs Lancet letter resembled a partly savvy (and partly clumsy) effort at PR-style crisis management, a paper published in one of the worldโs most prestigious science journals would be both more significant in its impact and possibly more compromised in its creation. That paper, the aforementioned โThe Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2โ published in Nature Medicine, a peer-reviewed (and less prestigious) sister publication of Nature, in March of 2020, was authored by a distinguished but relatively young evolutionary biologist named Kristian Andersen, along with a number of equally accomplished virologists. The paper is filled with complex analyses of the SARS-CoV-2 genome, but in its short abstract it stated the upshot in language even a harried consumer journalist could easily grasp: โOur analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus.โ
Putting aside problems with that claim (for example, a wave-making preprint last year pointed to indications that SARS-CoV-2 was indeed made in a lab), the origins of this paper, which became a touchstone for those arguing against the lab-leak theory, were deeply unethical.
Most of the questions surrounding โProximal Originโ concern a Feb. 1, 2020, teleconference called by Fauci and joined by his boss, NIH then-Director Francis Collins, and other top scientists, including Andersen and a number of his โProximal Originโ co-authors.
As emails obtained from Freedom of Information requests revealed, Fauci arranged the call just days after receiving an email from Andersen expressing concerns he shared with several other prominent virologists that parts of the virus looked engineered. Andersen wrote that he and a few fellow researchers โall find the [SARS-CoV-2] genome inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory.โ
If that claim ever reached the public, it might have permanently altered the discourse surrounding the origins of the pandemic. But after the conversation with Fauci, it never did get out. Instead, Andersen, Holmes, and Gary (in addition to Andrew Rambaut) began circulating a draft of โProximal Originโ three days later, making claims that contradicted the findings Andersen had presented to Fauci in his initial email less than a week prior. Inย a Feb. 4 email to Peter Daszak, Andersen communicated that he and his co-authors had already begun circulating drafts of a paper proposing the exact oppositeโthat COVID-19 had emerged naturallyโwhich would become โProximal Origin.โ

The Neo-Tsar explains what he thinks about the Chinese “peace plan” for the Banderastan War:
To be clear – the Chinese proposal IS NOT a peace plan. It is actually a statement of globally applicable principles. And it is far more coherent and sensible than anything the USSA has come up with for the past few decades, with its idiotic “rules-based international order”, which no one can define or explain to anyone else.

Right, lads, that’s it, back to work.

The two banes of my gym existence are:
1) The Smith machine, in general. People are more likely to hurt themselves with one of those than by doing the exercises in a real power rack.
2) The old guy with advanced Dadbod who throws 12 plates on the leg press machine (leaving none for anyone else) and then makes a big show of lifting them, as though he’s doing something difficult. This is especially annoying since I finally got up to 315 in Stronglifts and need 6 for myself. Do squats, you coward!
