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."

Ilford Pan 400 (FF)

English
A black-and-white photograph of a headless stone statue of a seated figure. The statue is in a meditative pose, with legs crossed and hands resting on the lap. The figure is draped in a robe that covers both shoulders and falls to the knees. The statue is positioned against a plain, slightly textured wall. The surface of the statue shows signs of wear and damage, particularly around the neck and torso.

English
A black-and-white close-up photograph of the head of a stone Buddha statue. The statue features a serene expression with closed eyes and a slightly smiling mouth. The head is adorned with tightly curled hair, arranged in a pattern of small, rounded bumps. The surface of the statue appears smooth and well-preserved.

English
A black-and-white photograph of a stone statue of a muscular, standing figure. The figure has a fierce expression, with a wide-open mouth and prominent eyes. It is dressed in a detailed robe with intricate patterns near the waist. The statue is positioned under a wooden structure with visible beams and brackets. The figure's right arm is raised with a clenched fist, while the left arm is bent at the elbow, hand resting on the hip.

"Basically all freight in the country is moved by rail over land. Their Atlantic and Caribbean islands are criss-crossed by a dense network of sidings and yards, which are now directed centrally by computers. Large intermodal containers simply don’t scale for local industry across dozens of islands.

The Commonwealth Consolidated Container standard (CCC) can be handled by robots or with forklifts and better suits the scale of commerce."

"Phreaking is easy. Doing it secretly is hard.

Although espionage is a common practice in war – even in non-wars, or whatever the Congo is – phreaking is rarely appealing. If you want to stop a computer running the radar guidance of a surface-to-air missile, or managing hydrogen fuel distribution at machine depots, you bomb the towers and cables it uses to talk to the world. Better yet – bomb the computer.

There are specific circumstances that attract interest in phreaking a line. In asymmetr…

Cameron Kennedy is one of 15 people charged this week with conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer
as part of what Justice Department officials called a "left-wing antifa plot" to harm federal agents during the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operation that began last winter.
Several face additional charges, including felony assault, solicitation to com…
