Death (by any means) is unnatural; death by aging violates the desire of a person, just as rape and murder does; it just occurs more more commonly and more slowly

I am grateful to the UK for taking this important step against Russia’s oil fleet – a shadow fleet tanker has been detained off the UK's southern coast. It was Russia’s hubris, fueled by high oil and gas revenues, that paved the way for this war, and every decision by partners that deprives Russia of money also limits the war itself. I thank @Keir_Starmer and all Britons for such principled resolve. And Europe urgently needs to take legislative steps to enable not only the detention of tankers and restrictions on oil shipments, but also the confiscation of the oil they carry. This will certainly help bring peace closer.
Despite Putin’s best efforts to evade sanctions, we will not let him get away with it.

The UK releases footage of its soldiers boarding and seizing an oil tanker of the Russian shadow fleet for the first time. The operation took place in the English Channel this morning 🇬🇧🇺🇦

These thugs fractured the spine of Sgt Kate Evans, who spoke in court of the medical and emotional trauma she still lives with. Prison is where they belong. Unlike Zack Polanski, I want serious consequences for anyone who attacks police officers risking their lives to protect us.
Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel. Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it. A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

Good question. Back in the 2000s, Phillip Oberdoerffer, a postdoc in our lab, published that DNA breaks cause epigenetic drift in mammals, not just yeast, consistent with the Information Theory of Aging Summary of the 2009 study ICYMI: One of the hallmarks of aging is the gradual loss of genome stability and control of gene activity. In yeast, a protein called Sir2 (the original Sirtuin) helps keep certain genes turned off and protects repetitive regions of DNA. As yeast age, or when their DNA is damaged, Sir2 leaves its normal locations and moves to sites of DNA damage to help with repair. This causes previously silent genes to become active, leading to changes associated with aging We found that the mammalian version of Sir2, called SIRT1, behaves in a similar way. In mouse cells, SIRT1 normally helps silence repetitive DNA and regulates many genes throughout the genome. When DNA damage occurs, SIRT1 moves away from these regions and relocates to DNA breaks to assist in repair. As a result, gene expression patterns change in ways that closely resemble those seen in aging mouse brains Increasing SIRT1 levels improves survival in mice with unstable genomes and reduces many of the gene expression changes that occur with age. These findings suggest that aging may result, at least in part, from the repeated redistribution of SIRT1 and other chromatin-regulating proteins as they respond to DNA damage, gradually disrupting the youthful organization of the genome cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

How much is due to damage and how much to epigenetic drift???

Longevity and anti aging should be your main priority in the wake of AGI. There is a real chance longevity escape velocity arrives in the 2040s for the rich and in the 2050s for everyone else. The first wave will be expensive. Then AI, robotics and biotech will crash the cost. So the game is simple: Stay alive. Stay healthy. Stay functional long enough to reach the bridge. Sleep, muscle, diet, bloodwork, prevention. Your body is your ticket to the future.

A juror — a JUROR — in the Palestine Action case is now speaking at a rally in their support. 😵‍💫 This is the collapse of the apparatus of our freedoms. What is Britain becoming?

We’ve done our homework on how to remove the illegals - Restore Britain has produced the most comprehensive deportation policy ever released in Britain. It can be done. It must be done. It will be done.
