cell bio professor closed out today's lecture on free-radical oxidation in mitochondria and programmed cell death by saying "you've probably all seen those commercials for fruit juice that says it's got antioxidants, which are said to prevent this sort of thing from happening, or at least slow it down. well, they don't work. this is an inevitable fact of life— this process that lets us live is also the thing that kills us, and it's why all of us will die someday. there's no escaping that. it's been with us since the dawn of eukaryotic cells; our pact with mitochondria is to the death. anyway, enjoy the rest of your friday, and remember, exam four is next week!"

“people who make six figures shouldn’t be allowed to complain —“ most people who make six figures are, these days, solidly middle class. where i live, a combined household income of $110k is *lower middle class*.
“people who can afford homes —“ are typically 400-600k in debt for them. also if “can own your own home” is your threshold for the rich you are contemplating eating, i think you are genuinely stupid
“boohoo your investments dropped, stop complaining rich boy” idk how to tell you this but. most of us have a retirement account. you should probably open one
If one grain of rice represents $200,00, which is the median net worth of an American (and more than half of Americans have less than half one grain of rice for this analogy), compare to the visual of Elon Musks combined net worth of $400 BILLION DOLLARS:
Can we please be serious and focus on the billionaires who are dismantling our country and selling it for parts?
This is the kind of messaging you really want to be seeing from the global hegemon
linking it directly because, yeah, this is real.
They actually said "retaliate" huh.
everyone make sure to set out cheese & crackers for neil tonight <3
well personally i like it when there’s incest and necrophilia and murder and cannibalism and abuse and torture and gore and mutilation and body horror and sexual depravity and death.
This is the same guy that posted that group selfie titled „yes, these are both my hands“
THIS GUY (from his insta story)
I like how this is phrased as if Hozier is some rando
