@that_stocks_guy Do you think GRX will hold back anything from the litigation to fund their exploration & drilling campaigns? Seems a no brainer to retain at least some, right?

@LidlGB Your new Lidl Plus points system is huge downgrade. £250 spend used to get me a free bun, veg, choc bar and 10% off next time. Now it gets me 1% off. And no free bun! It's not worth it, so I'm going back to @AldiUK 😄

You have a bacterium in every cell of your body. You always have. About 1.5 billion years ago, a larger cell swallowed a smaller one. Nothing unusual there. Cells were doing it all the time. But this time, something went wrong. Or rather, something went extraordinarily right. The smaller cell didn’t die. It stayed. Over millions of generations, the two became inseparable. The guest surrendered almost all of its genes to the host. The host, in return, let it divide, live, and thrive. What began as a meal became a merger. That passenger is now your mitochondria. Every single cell in your body, around 37 trillion of them, contains what is still, biologically speaking, a bacterium. It has its own DNA. It replicates by binary fission, exactly as bacteria do, not as your cells do. Its ribosomes are bacterial ribosomes. If you took a mitochondrion and put it under a microscope next to the alphaproteobacteria it descended from, you would notice the family resemblance immediately. You are not simply a human. You are a walking, talking collaboration. A negotiated settlement between two ancient life forms that struck a deal so successful it gave rise to every complex living thing on Earth. The biologist Lynn Margulis argued this in 1967. Her peers laughed. Twenty years later, the genome sequencing proved her right. She got the last laugh. So did the bacteria.

Today in 1977, The Beach Boys Love You album was released. Originally planned as Brian Loves You, Brian wrote and played nearly every instrument on the record, including keyboards, synthesizers, and drums. What’s your favorite track?

@BrianWilsonLive Is this the same set of 1972 tapes that were used for the pressing of Pet Sounds that came bundled with Carl & The Passions "So Tough" album? The 1972 Pet Sounds is a lovely edition. Probably my favourite vinyl mix of that album.

I wouldn't argue with you.

Arguably the best solo album ever recorded by a Beach Boy. beachboyslegacy.com/item/dennis-wi…

@ZackPolanski, Iran fired two ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, the joint US-UK base in the Indian Ocean. Neither hit their target but the significance goes far beyond this engagement. Diego Garcia is a 4,000 kilometres from Iran. Iran's foreign minister said last month that Iran had limited its missile range to 2,000 kilometres. That was a lie. And the implications of that lie are ones that every European leader, every Green Party politician and every opponent of this operation needs to confront. Missiles that can reach Diego Garcia can reach virtually every capital city in Europe. London. Paris. Berlin. Rome. The threat you are demanding Britain appease just revealed it can hit further than anyone publicly acknowledged. Now let's address who started this war since you seem confused. Iran built, funded and directed Hezbollah for thirty years. Iran built, funded and directed Hamas, which carried out the October 7th massacres. Iran built, funded and directed the Houthis, who have been attacking international shipping for over a year. Iran supplied the drones and ballistic missiles Russia has been using to kill Ukrainian civilians. Iran plotted twenty assassinations on British soil in two years, every one of them thwarted by British security services. Iran hit RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. Iran has been blockading the Strait of Hormuz, collapsing Gulf oil exports by sixty per cent and driving up the energy bills of the British households you claim to represent. And lest we forget what this regime does to its own people: it has massacred over thirty thousand of its own citizens who dared to protest against it, hanged dissidents in public, executed gay people and imprisoned women for removing their hijabs. This is not a government that deserves the benefit of the doubt. It is a theocratic killing machine that has been at war with its own people and the wider world simultaneously. Iran started this. It has been starting it, in one form or another, since 1979. On the promise of a parliamentary vote: Starmer made that commitment as Labour leader running for his own party's leadership in 2020. He was not Prime Minister. He had no constitutional authority to bind future governments. The convention, as he has explained, is that votes apply to offensive deployments of troops, not defensive operations conducted at speed. You know this. You are citing it anyway because it is the only procedural argument left when the substantive ones have collapsed. You lead a party that has never condemned Hamas. Never condemned Hezbollah. Never condemned the Iranian regime that funds both and has just fired ballistic missiles at a British base. Your concern for British military personnel and civilians rings hollow this morning. The regime you have consistently refused to condemn just tried to hit a base housing British forces. That is the context in which your statement lands. And it lands very badly indeed. "This is not a government that deserves the benefit of the doubt. It is a theocratic killing machine that has been at war with its own people and the wider world simultaneously."

This should have been on the front page of The New York Times. I speak to students in America and most have no idea that more than 30,000 Iranians were killed for protesting and demanding freedom. No names. No faces. No coverage. This silence kills me.💔 Thank you, Australia.

@beachboyslegacy I used to assume the Wilson boys got their musical talent from Murry, a published songwriter, but after hearing Audree sing, I think a large part came from her. It's a shame she didn't get more time in the spotlight. Even Murry got to sing on BBs tracks!

What it’s like living with a black cat

It's impressive how much of the track was in place, considering Brian felt he needed 6 months to work on it. SMiLE should have been a double LP. Sides 3 and 4 made up of all the extra little modular pieces of Good Vibrations and Heroes & Villains edited together into mini suites

February 17, 1966-Brian Wilson records a new song at Gold Star Studios. From this point on, 19 more sessions for it would be held leading up to September; with this session producing the verses heard in the final song, now known as "Good Vibrations". This is the 1st take:

This is a bacterial flagellar motor … one of nature’s most sophisticated molecular machines - a rotary motor embedded in the cell membrane consisting of ~25-30 protein types totaling 20,000-50,000 atoms in a multi-part structure of rotor, stator, drive shaft, and propeller. Operating at 100-300 Hz (6,000-18,000 RPM) with some species reaching 1,700 Hz (~100,000 RPM) at nearly 100% efficiency, this nanoscale engine features rotor proteins FliG/FliM/FliN forming the C-ring, MotA/MotB stator complexes, FlgG rod protein drive shaft, FliC flagellin propeller filament, and FlgE hook proteins acting as a universal joint, all powered by proton or sodium flow across the membrane generating torque through conformational changes in the stator complexes.

@CSMFHT Did Ea-Nasir visit Japan...?

@MGinvestor Yes, it's an excellent speech. Thoughtful, considered, a good balance of idealism & pragmatism. I wish we had British politicians who think and act along the same lines. Carney is building a position for Canadian strength & values at the forefront of the future.
