Here is the motor protein structure again, this time with just the atoms colored, rather than the tertiary structures. Carbon is black, Oxygen red, Nitrogen blue, and Sulfur is yellow. I must admit I don't know how accurate it actually is, but dang.

I used an addon called Molecular Nodes in Blender. It allows you to download complex protein structures and display them using geometry nodes. This particular structure is a bacterial flagellar motor. It rotates and propels the bacteria forward. Maybe I can figure out how to animate that part!

Terrance Howard is an ignorant human who is influential enough to spread unscientific crap like this and people believe it. Sad. To be clear, this periodic table is lame sauce.

Not jackboots, not torches,
not some grand crashing down,
just the billionaire and his fresh-faced parasites,
oozing in through the back door,
slithering into the code,
rigging the game while everybody
was too busy jacking off to outrage,
clicking “yes, I agree” to their own chains.

It’s hard for me to distinguish between friends and family who are fascists and those who are simply uninformed. Does it matter? Not to those who will be made to suffer. Don’t be friends with fascists or their sympathizers (also fascists).

How is it the American university system is so awesome but our public schools are so bad? How, indeed, since the majority of students at these world-class universities attended American public schools? Maybe it’s a bunch of lies meant to undermine trust in our schools?
