It’s also to remind people to post them in social media, clicking them or not.

I need to do little warmups to get started on things, little distractions. A little puzzle, a walk. If you need to do something NOW, go hold some ice for 30 seconds then start immediately. You need to distract your central nervous system to get it out of the loop. Physical sensations or activity works best.

Geddon then. ;)

That took me 5 seconds then I lost it.

Broken ass AI and one cool chicken. I’ll allow it lol.

Me, yesterday, tinkering with remote desktop.

Oggy oggy oggy.

The Lizard is a great spot.

Whatever gets you through the day. Glad to have others with heart around. :)

My partner has an Rx for his myriad of autoimmune stuff. It really helps him when he isn’t feeling well.

It’s a cell biology joke about the ubiquitin system.

https://www.nature.com/articles/458421a

Others can correct me if I’m wrong (pls do this isnt my area), but in normal cell biology, you usually tag the misfolded or regulated proteins for destruction. Here, the meme brags that they’ve been tagging properly folded proteins instead.

From the link:

The destruction of proteins is as important as their synthesis for the maintenance of protein homeostasis in cells. In eukaryotes, the ubiquitin–proteasome system is responsible for most of this protein degradation: the small protein ubiquitin acts as a death warrant, tagging and targeting other proteins to the large proteolytic chamber of the proteasome.

The discovery in the 1970s that certain proteins are ubiquitylated before degradation was awarded the 2004 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. It is now known that ubiquitin-mediated destruction plays a crucial part in cell-cycle regulation, DNA repair, cell growth and immune function, as well as in hormone-mediated signalling in plants. More recently, ubiquitin has been shown to have numerous non-proteolytic functions, including involvement in vesicular trafficking pathways, regulation of histone modification and viral budding.

Given the central role of the ubiquitin system in diverse cellular processes, it is not surprising that its dysfunction contributes to cancer and to neurodegenerative and immunological disorders. An understanding of the ubiquitin system is therefore important in devising treatments for such diseases.

Owls really are basically cats.

Ps, pls put a NSFW on it haha. I don’t mind but others will.

KILL KILL KILL

De nada.

Aliens.

I think we’re going to need a few more examples to really make sure.
