Vaults are still among the most mysterious of all structures found in eukaryotes. This is extremely cool and unexpected.

How can a single cell learn without a brain? We explore this in my paper with @wallaceucsf.bsky.social! We discovered that single cells may learn using molecules similar to those that animal brains use to learn, like CaMKII. Cells can also propagate memory states to their progeny!

It features three cats with intricate, unique patterns on their bodies. The artist notes that these are manually embroidered and sometimes sold with baby cats included. The designs are often inspired by traditional art patterns like folk embroidery or floral themes.

Ah I see the Times has fired up the ol' conservative commentator is sorry generator again.

Oocytes store large amounts of proteins to support the earliest developmental stages. In @nature.com, the Leung group describes the structure of the cytoplasmic lattice in unprecedented detail. At least 13 different proteins assemble into a stable storage complex. hubrecht.eu/oocyte-storage-complex/

YES…HA HA HA…*YES!*

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

"My lawyer told me over beers this morning that I should go on the offensive and deny everything in that Atlantic story."

Sometimes I think I should have gone into teaching. I don't feel like I have anything to teach and I think if I did I'd be bad at teaching it, but I also know that this hasn't stopped other people.

Feds are continuing kidnappings across the city & burbs after increased activity this month.

No flashy CBP caravans, just a steady stream of covert ICE arrests.

All conservative political discourse boils down to the words “Those People”

one of the two events involved citizens voting.

They think you're stupid.

Regarding Trump’s tanking approval ratings: When Bush slid to the mid-30s toward the end, it was partly bc there was a contingent of conservatives who were mad that he didn’t go all in on anti-immigrant sentiment. This time around, conservatives got everything they wanted, and America hates it.

Proof positive that ladies can be raging assholes.

impossible to overstate how poisonous this shit is. dudes on the street smiling and waving at your toddler are an indicator of a happy and functional community

I need you all to remember ICE is still destroying families and assaulting people daily.
Don't forget to keep protesting.

Minions face a Gacaca process in which they stand before their neighbors and victims' families, detailing their specific crimes in exchange for reduced sentences

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social on Gino Bulso’s hypocritical Charlie Kirk Act: “Free speech is not just the right to engage in favored speech, it is also the unobstructed right to engage in moral dissent. This is what my Republican colleagues are so terrified of...” www.ms.now/opinion/tenn...
