In one year, I genetically engineered the boring Arabidopsis into a beautiful ornamental flower 🧬🌹
Here is how and why I gave this model organism a visual upgrade 🧵(1/7)

(We're all having a laugh here, but you know what's not funny? Authors commenting on matters outside the text of the book as if their opinion matters. Books belong to their readers! The opinion of an author on matters other than intent should not be privileged over other readers!)

My move here was also motivated by avoidance of the coming Trump onslaught as much as possible. I‘ll make this one exception because it‘s from Stephen King.

The point, exactly.
view. I come here to make stupid bird jokes, let people know about exciting science news (from me or anyone else), and make fun of @triggerloop.bsky.social for not having seen a movie made after 1952. If a bunch of nazis and bots show up here, I'm out. It's a social media site not debate club.

That sounds like a rational way of dealing with it.
Do we have to have an itemised crazy bill for the Trump cabinet picks? Can we not just accept that the whole thing is going to be perfectly appalling and it will rain awful and annoying crap on the world until it treads on its own [insert bodypart] and falls into a vat of boiling nonsense?

In case you wondered what took 'em so long.
Coelacanths are pregnant for five years, the longest gestation of any known animal, and do not reach maturity until they are around 55 years old.
