Why do our cells age? It's not just wear and tear, accumulated damage. Loss of cell identity takes center stage. A new Nature paper and connection with prior work that substantially advances the science of aging. In the new Ground Truths. erictopol.substack.com/p/loss-of-ce...

Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.

Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.

That cocky, misplaced look of smug success on Senator Eric Schmitt’s face—moments before everything came crashing down around him because he’s so carelessly incompetent.

There's always a backlash against progress for marginalized communities unless it's too small to matter So no MeToo didn't go too far BLM didn't go too far The Civil Rights Act of 1964 did not go too far The Voting Rights Act did not go too far The backlash is against progress, not excess
