Nothing surprises me more than the price of anything

I truly believe that the normalization of nighttime bookstores would change the world.

I don't trust anyone who doesn't occasionally dream of going off the grid to become the caretaker of an ominous greenhouse on the grounds of a mysterious manor in the Scottish countryside.

Sometimes its even what he -didn't- say. Jesus never spoke out against slavery, despite being surrounded by it. Not quite something you would expect of a divine and sinless man.

Jesus simply is not above criticism. He makes far more sense if you see him as just another flawed human being with ideas

Ever wondered how cancer cells “decide” to spread?

When high-grade breast cancer cells get crowded, they shrink and become more mobile, turning a non-invasive tumour into a threat. Scientists have identified the molecular switch behind the change.

Synchronised electrical waves in #Ecoli biofilms might be part of their survival toolkit, but a few unanswered questions about the experimental approach mean the evidence is ‘incomplete’. Could this be a conserved mechanism across biofilms? #Microbiology

3D render of a rotavirus

Differences in the entire rotavirus genome – not just its two surface proteins – affect how well vaccines work, helping to explain why some strains are more likely to infect vaccinated individuals.

Why do some neurons say “sleep” while others shout “stay awake!” — inside the same brain?

In fruit flies, researchers just mapped the molecular chaos behind this nightly tug-of-war. And it’s wilder than we thought.

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to read books in a cottage during a pouring rain in front of a crackling fire whilst enjoying a plate of cinnamon rolls?

“Anti theism encourages rational thought”

Sir, have you ever met a tech bro?

Like look, you can believe whatever you want. I have met many an atheist who is simply vibing, but pretending atheists are somehow more rational when Elon Musk exists is a bit of a stretch.

Exploring the role of somatic mutations in neurodegeneration In a subset of Alzheimer’s disease patients, non-inheritable mutations that activate a population of brain cells known as microglia may contribute to dementia.

Exploring the role of somatic mutations (mutations that aren’t inherited) in diseases like #Alzheimer’s.

It should be illegal to read a book in public without the cover being visible enough for me to snoop on

Turning back the clock on aging Lifestyle improvements like adopting a healthy diet or quitting smoking can slow biological aging processes.

How much do different lifestyle changes slow down biological #ageing?

My love language is a quaint bookstore on a rainswept cobblestone side street in Prague.

they say "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" well i don't want to be strong, i’m tired i just want to drink iced coffee, read books and eat snacks.

Chuck Schumer- *does a cowardice*

Everyone- Fuck Chuck Schumer! The Democratic Party is garbage!

The democrats (probably)- Why would the far left do this to us? This must be trans people’s fault.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP.

Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

I had not heard of this book but now I am going to read it tonight.
