This should have been on the front page of The New York Times. I speak to students in America and most have no idea that more than 30,000 Iranians were killed for protesting and demanding freedom. No names. No faces. No coverage. This silence kills me.💔 Thank you, Australia.

@beachboyslegacy I used to assume the Wilson boys got their musical talent from Murry, a published songwriter, but after hearing Audree sing, I think a large part came from her. It's a shame she didn't get more time in the spotlight. Even Murry got to sing on BBs tracks!

A track that was in the vaults for almost 50 years until it was released as part of the 20/20 sessions. Audree, the mother of Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, singing lead vocal on a song. What a voice! amazon.com/About-Dixie-fe…

Literally the only “cozy” light reading you will ever need is this series from the 70s about a 12th century Welsh herbalist monk with a colourful past solving murders in and around his abbey

It's impressive how much of the track was in place, considering Brian felt he needed 6 months to work on it. SMiLE should have been a double LP. Sides 3 and 4 made up of all the extra little modular pieces of Good Vibrations and Heroes & Villains edited together into mini suites

This is a bacterial flagellar motor … one of nature’s most sophisticated molecular machines - a rotary motor embedded in the cell membrane consisting of ~25-30 protein types totaling 20,000-50,000 atoms in a multi-part structure of rotor, stator, drive shaft, and propeller. Operating at 100-300 Hz (6,000-18,000 RPM) with some species reaching 1,700 Hz (~100,000 RPM) at nearly 100% efficiency, this nanoscale engine features rotor proteins FliG/FliM/FliN forming the C-ring, MotA/MotB stator complexes, FlgG rod protein drive shaft, FliC flagellin propeller filament, and FlgE hook proteins acting as a universal joint, all powered by proton or sodium flow across the membrane generating torque through conformational changes in the stator complexes.

@CSMFHT Did Ea-Nasir visit Japan...?

@MGinvestor Yes, it's an excellent speech. Thoughtful, considered, a good balance of idealism & pragmatism. I wish we had British politicians who think and act along the same lines. Carney is building a position for Canadian strength & values at the forefront of the future.

@BonDunbar If you haven't watched it already x.com/MGinvestor/sta…

Trump wants a deal. Markets want clarity. So...should US take Greenland? Let me know your thoughts. Mine below

@MGinvestor But it's not "the obvious". It's hoping that the giant orange baby will be appeased and act nice to us if we hand over another trinket. The road to oppressive authoritarian regimes is littered with cowards (and well-meaning people) who think one final appeasement will be it.

@BonDunbar I am just stating the obvious that ppl don't want to accept. Once Ven was open for US to take with flimsy excuses it has literally now allowed others to do what they please. This isn't taking sides, it is reality. Watch Greenland will be given 'diplomatically' by EU/Denmark

@MGinvestor That's a coward's take. Maybe Putin should just take all the ex-Soviet countries too? Maybe we should pre-emptively hand our dinner money over to the schoolyard bully? The more you cede to autocrats, the more emboldened they will be to take more. This won't end with Greenland.

international law is dead. Democracy arguments is what fools are holding onto. US took Ven cos of resources. Greenland is for the same reason, let's not kid ourselves. Hence, let US take it. China will do the same for the "it's in our backyard reason" so we continue until armage...

Happy new year to my Twitter family . Keep trying to make others smile amongst all the gloom . 💜💜💜

In the episode of The Simpsons where Homer adopts a pet lobster it is called Mr Pinchy. In the European French version of The Simpsons, Mr Pinchy is instead called Homard Simpson (homard means lobster in French)
