This is the most detailed picture of a human cell ever made 🧪

Sam Bousaba on Instagram: "This is a single human cell. The white filament-like structures are microtubules, and the small colored particles are ribosomes. Your body contains on the order of ~37 trillion cells. Each cell functions like a highly organized, self-regulating factory operating continuously. There is no central “supervisor”—yet thousands of processes run in parallel with remarkable coordination. Every ribosome is constantly building proteins by linking amino acids together. In eukaryotic (human) cells, a ribosome typically adds about 5–10 amino acids per second (not ~20). Since a single cell can contain millions of ribosomes, protein production is massive—resulting in millions to tens of millions of peptide bonds formed per second per cell. The microtubules act as an internal transport network. Motor proteins such as kinesin move along these tracks, carrying cellular cargo. They “walk” step by step using ATP, at speeds of roughly 500–1000 nanometers per second. Each cell contains a dense network of these filaments, with many motor proteins moving simultaneously. Just beneath the cell membrane lies the actin cortex, a dynamic meshwork that helps maintain cell shape and resist mechanical stress. This structure is continuously remodeled—assembled and disassembled—allowing the cell to adapt to its environment. Now scale this up. Across ~37 trillion cells, each containing millions of ribosomes and hundreds to thousands of mitochondria, your body is constantly producing energy in the form of ATP. Total ATP turnover is enormous—roughly equivalent to your body weight in ATP recycled every day. The DNA in a single human cell, if stretched out, measures about 2 meters. Across all your cells, this would span distances comparable to traveling from Earth to the Sun and back many times (the exact multiple depends on assumptions about cell count and DNA packing). None of these processes are under conscious control. They began when you were a single cell and have continued uninterrupted ever since."

Logistics in the technical sense (part of supply chain management) is a subset of logistics in the vernacular sense ("the handling of the details of an operation"). You can explore this second and more general sense, and thereby build an understanding of the first and more technical sense, by iteratively asking the question, "how does one make that happen" and follow questions from there.
A big part of organizing is figuring out the (vernacular) logistics (and helping others figure it out). You want to organize a seed swap? Ok. How does one make that happen? Well, you need seeds, people, a place, and perhaps a time. How does one make that happen? You can forage seeds or you can buy seeds for a garden and swap extras. How do you get people to come? Well, figure out where you want people to come from and choose an accessible place. What's the easiest thing to do? Get people from your neighborhood. How does one make that happen? Well, maybe put up flyers. How does one make that happen? Well, print them on your printer if you have one, or at a library, then go post them up. Etc.
Keep asking questions until you either find a roadblock that you can't find a way around, or you find things you can do yourself (one of those things you can do yourself is asking friends to help).
If you practice the exercise of thinking about how things happen, you can start to find things that you can do yourself. You can start to understand what exists now, and you can imagine what's possible. By thinking about logistics, you can figure out how to replace things when they collapse or are dismantled. You can also identify things that can't easily be replaced, and try to figure out alternatives.
This practice is good for figuring out how to build, but it can also be a valuable practice for figuring out how to resist. Concentration camps and ethnic cleansing also require logistics. Mass displacement means moving people. How does one do that? People are generally going to be moved in planes or buses. How does one do that? Well, people get loaded on to planes or buses in specific places. Planes and buses need fuel. Planes are fueled at their airports, which may well be the same places where people are loaded on to them. There is a fuel depo and a fuel truck that makes flying people out of a specific place possible. How does the fuel get to that fuel depo? Well, that fuel is probably also delivered by truck. Someone drives those trucks. Someone fuels those planes. Someone clears the planes for takeoff. Someone fuels those busses. Someone drives those busses. And so on.
Logistics networks can be highly complex. The more complex the operation, the more possible points of failure and more possible points where pressure can be applied, where operations can be disrupted. Ethnic cleansing is a complicated operation. The logistics of disrupting complicated things tend to be much less complicated than the logistics of the complicated things themselves.
The Right has exploited this fact for a long time. Centralized social services are logistically complex. Public infrastructure is logistically complex. By destroying these things, they can loot public resources by privatizing the infrastructure and functionality.
But the things that support the Right are even more logistically complex. Oil, cars, AI data centers, internal paramilitary, these are extremely complicated and fragile. There are numerous pressure points, all of which can respond to numerous strategies.
If we want to win, we should reduce the influence of politics over the things we care about. We should focus on building distributed mutual aid networks that don't rely on state funding and aren't subject to the whims of politicians. This is also known as "dual power." That is, creating counter-institutions outside of the dominant political system. The Right already does this in the form of churches and corporations.
As we reduce our complexity, we can then press our complexity advantage against the things for which the Right *needs* the state: the apparatus of violence needed to maintain capital and enforce the dominant order.

Just finished the game "Arco". It's a masterpiece. Wonderfully evocative setting and writing, excellent systems with top-notch ludonarrative harmony, and complex characters that you love while also seeing their not-so-great sides.
For once in a violence-centric game I get to be murdering colonizers instead of metaphorical stand-ins for indigenous people? Feels excellent.
The systems and abilities did a great job of keeping things balanced too, with definite power growth but growing costs too, letting the tactics remain important throughout. After playing Flamberge, I was worried it might feel too fiddly, but it doesn't at all, and the ghosts mechanic really pushes you to play quickly.

LA STALLA DEI BOVINI
Nell'"andio", corridoio centrale piano, tra i due socali, si faceva il filò nel tepore della stalla riscaldata dal fiato caldo dei bovini che ruminavano sdraiati sulla lettiera.
Finestre piccole, d'inverno con vetro sigillato con sterco e argilla.
i bovini mangiavano il fieno in piedi poi si sdraiavano.

I finally finished the second season of The Pitt a couple of days ago—OMG! It’s good!—and this article resonates. I live in a country with really good public health care (by most standards), and it’s worth doing whatever it takes to avoid sliding into the hot mess health care is in the US and many other countries.

I will always resent "scroll as zoom", making the scrolling function of the mouse do a zoom. You may disagree, but I'm not looking for a debate.
I remember a conversation with the PM of Google Maps when this was introduced there. I asked for at least an option to turn it off. Not only does it strike me as counterintuitive, its behavior embedded in a scrolling window is unforgivable. His response: "What else would scroll do?"
Gotta love product design.

Maya glyphic texts from the Classic period (250–900 CE)
typically chronicle the exploits of historical or divine characters;
everyday or functional records are rare.
Here, the authors offer a reconstruction and transcription of a ‘microtext’
painted on an interior wall of Structure 10K-2 at the site of Xultun, Guatemala.
The text records a unique astronomical formula that concludes with a name,
attributing the work to an individual named Sak Tahn Waax …
