The blue lines in that top figure represent the bonds in the side chains of the amino acid residues that make up the protein, not protons. In fact, those blue lines are also representing elections because the sharing of electrons is a covalent bond. These are bananas high resolution structures determined via x-ray…

“Pay attention to referendums...But also it’s cool if you don’t because long ballots give you anxiety.”

I feel like KK needs a post-it note on her MacBook Pro that reminds her, “The world is bigger than media twitter”

Bloviating dudes will never worry about employment ;) Splinter bloggers, tough, they might be in a tough spot soon.

Lol.  “Maybe if I advertise their book they will finally hire me before Splinter implodes.”

Exactly. Even better about having a rich friend nag me about her rich person diet: I am a research biologist. I was being lectured about the science of cellular metabolism by someone who watched a documentary and would literally say, “Well, I saw they had studies.” Not “I read the studies they based their doc on,”…

I had a friend really into the idea that the keto diet could save the world all summer. I was like, “Well, if we could all afford to eat like you, then, yeah, that might suggest the world is saved...but, uh, keto doesn’t have anything to do with it.”

The self-assured vacuousness of internet blogger’s view of the world makes so much sense when you realize that Twitter is a relatively small social network compared to the attention it receives. Bloggers act like everyone is watching when, in fact, if this stupid shit wasn’t copy and pasted into this blog I WOULDN’T…

eat what you can! But there’s no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism!

God, I find the discourse surrounding food, especially around affluent (like, very food-secure middle class) women (cause that’s what I am) so mind-numbingly virtue signal-y and combative I can barely have a conversation about food with certain friends anymore.

Woo!  Yeah!!  I can’t get any channels on any antenna where I live because of the terrain.  I spent an evening with friends who live in a bigger city earlier this week and I was like, ‘When is Jeopardy! on?!?!”

Done and done. Hopefully you’re near a wegmans.

Eat it standing in front of the open fridge door.

Did Brailsford actually say that? That might be the most Brailsford-y bullshit I’ve seen yet.

Instead we have to have some lecture about a problem that doesn’t exist. Unless you’re really focused on yourself you’re not going to ever see something so minor as an egostroking.

Dude, right?!? And then a different flavor of affluent defensiveness that drives me bonkers is everyone’s like, “That girl is oblivious and annoying, but why do I have to feel bad because my parents paid for my college and now I don’t have students loans. I mean, I’m not like that girl, but I bought a house when I was…

If you told me the only way KK gets her significant other to do the dishes is by posting a blog shitting on the dems I would believe you 100%

Tommie Boi!!! What a lil’ heartbreaker today. Looks like he got caught trying to be a little too clever.
