Did a deep dive on teabags after the TL told us last week they were killing us all with microplastics. I knew twinnings, stash, and a few others claimed to be plastic free, but wondered about the tech. Turns out they have this machine (worth $300,000 new, from Germany) that makes and fills the teabags and it works by pressing super thin paper together to create a long tube and then filling and filing, then using a string to stitch it back together…. By doing this they use no glue, no staples, and no plastic. Never really stopped to look but a pretty cool marvel of engineering in its simplicity. Thank you for joining me in my special interest today.

Can we buy this from you.

I’m reading an old spinning journal from 1979 that’s talking about making cloth from kudzu the same way you can from flax. It apparently feels like a cross between linen and silk, is lightweight, translucent, waterproof, and wind-resistant. Never would have considered this.

This is why I don’t do nihilism… We have solutions & better options than capitalism. Whether capitalism is overthrown or simply implodes or both— there’s another, better world on the other side of this waiting for us to build it

Just saw a Ryan Gosling interview where he says he liked the story of Project Hail Mary because it has the message that the future isn't something to be feared, it's something to be figured out. And that's a message he wants his kids to hear. Awesome.

This is actually part of why I don't want to shave my legs. I realized while bike riding in shorts, I could feel the wind in my leg fur and it was a sensory delight

@MelRoBuilds Those snickers candy commercials weren't entirely wrong.

A lot of people would suck less if they just had a little sugar, caffiene, and b vitamins

A lot happened in AI×Bio these past few days. Here's what you might've missed: ☑️ An AI encoded itself into a chemical reaction and built 10 quadrillion proteins. ☑️ The biggest names in bio AI published their own brutally honest report card. ☑️ 27 protein experts preferred an AI's reasoning over curated databases. ☑️ One startup just got help from Anthropic and NVIDIA to break through bio AI's data wall. ☑️ Hibernating squirrels handed Eli Lilly a new obesity drug target. Let’s take a closer look.🧵

Glad to finally be getting better. It's similar to the relief when a fever breaks. I reached the peak of awful & now things get better again & I can get back to life. I am fascinated by how hellish that was & going to be spending time integrating that & laughing a little.

Holy. 💩 On. A. Stick. Finally coming out of horrible depressive episode. Feels like I survived what people talk about after a "difficult" 🍄 trip. A dark 2(?)3(?) weeks.PMS. Underslept. Anemic.Started rit.alinn again. But I learned for me. NEVER Rit.a*linn w/out pro*Zack. NEVER.
