RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)There's a ton of interesting organic chemistry that happens on the surfaces of comets and carbonaceous asteroids, due to ultraviolet interacting with methane etc., with the results of those reactions, and so on. I expect they'll find practically every simple molecule that exists in petroleum and living organisms, among many others, along with many complicated ones. That gets us little closer to explaining the wildly improbable configuration of LUCA -- so astronomically improbable ...

RT Hunter Ash (@ArtemisConsort)When I was in high school, I protested against anti-gay bullying in the name of Matthew Shepard. Years later, I learned that he was not killed in a hate crime. He was killed by fellow gay prostitutes, including a former lover, over a shipment of meth. I felt deeply betrayed.I felt the same sense of betrayal when I learned the truth about the AIDS epidemic. The story I was told was that public health authorities cruelly ignored the crisis because of homophobia. In reality, they ...
