Vision loss in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is not just about death of rods & cones--it also involves hyperactivity of downstream neurons, triggered by retinoic acid (RA). Hence RA inhibitors can revive vision in RP mice. Now online in Science Advances🧵1/15 bit.ly/358XFyu

@stankeye1 @milosz_szewsky @elonmusk The EU population is 450 million. Look it up.

@milosz_szewsky @elonmusk We have 350,000,000 people in this country. Of course the prison population will be higher.

It is the only way

@ClearingViews @Hot_Pepper76 Incredibly powerful vocals. Look up, the roof is gone.

@Hot_Pepper76 Absolutely. Brilliant and powerfully versatile.👏 youtu.be/A27yf2HOizk?si…

Greatest male rock and roll names...not many can top MICK JONES SYLVAIN SYLVAIN JOHNNY THUNDERS DEE DEE RAMONE and an appreciation too of the unlikely but magnificent ELVIS PRESLEY Reply if you think you got one as good as these. If I agree I'll retweet. If I don't, I won't 😎

@MickPuck Grace Slick. And that’s her real name—not contrived in the least!

@CollinRugg And for Congressional elections, have State districts elect at-large candidates, again by popular vote.

@CollinRugg Simple. Get rid of the electoral college and have the popular vote decide elections, the way it would work in a real democracy. Problem solved.

NEW: Arnold Schwarzenegger claps back at CNN's Jake Tapper, calls out "extreme gerrymandering" in blue states. Tapper: "Do you believe that the Republican Party is starting this?" Schwarzenegger: "No, Jake. There has been gerrymandering going on for 200 years." "There is such extreme gerrymandering going on that in a state like Massachusetts, it has like 40% of the people voting for Trump, they have zero representatives." "The Republican Party has zero representatives sent to the House. Think about that." "In New Mexico, 45% of the people voted for Trump and vote Republican, and zero is sent to the House, zero representatives from the Republican Party."

@mbeisen Yes, but you’re being persnickety.

@davidrmarsh @tuck54378 @arenella1 I’m not religious or even a believer, but I’ve been raised to treat strangers and newcomers with kindness and respect. Every major religion preaches the same thing, and it’s a core value of our country and most of the world.

Sadly, most Americans have no clue about what is happening in LA. My wife's son was shopping at a Home Depot Sunday when ICE agents engaged in a massive sweep of the store where they detained many customers with brown skins. I have urged Mia's three adult children to carry their

@alanalda So have you! We love you Alan. I was a pre-teen in NYC when I first saw you star in The Apple Tree on Broadway. Been a fan ever since.

Loretta was a supremely talented actor. She deserved all her 10 EMMY nominations and her 2 wins. But more than acting her part, she created it. She worked hard In showing the writing staff how they could turn the character from a one joke sexist stereotype into a real person -- with real feelings and ambitions. We celebrated the day the script came out listing her character not as Hot Lips, but as Margaret. Loretta made the most of her time here.

@nyrealestateman @JimTussing @Saganismm Sagan never claimed to be Sagan! He was just an articulate guy stating the obvious. The mysteries of nature which might eventually be answered by science, is more interesting and beautiful than mythical stories we make up. Believing in God is giving up.

@JimTussing @Saganismm But you are being disrespectful and Tyson never claimed to be Sagan. However, like Sagan, he’s the scientist of this time who can explain extraordinary scientific concepts in plain English for lay persons to understand and be inspired.

Neil deGrasse Tyson explains the God of the Gaps

@JimTussing @Saganismm Maybe not, but he’s doing a good job emulating Sagan. What’s wrong with that?

@MickPuck Beautiful song.

The intro of the video for KANSAS is a recreation of the movie parade in Dodge City that Dennis Hopper's dad brought him to in 1939. And in 2025...vocal and guitar by Steve Earle, harmonica by Mickey Raphael. Two greats on a Waterboys record. Thankyou fellas.

@ryan_ribbitt @TwangriLa @Super70sSports Such a wise pup.

@TwangriLa @Super70sSports War is horror disguised as Patriotism

Name a movie you’ve watched more times than you can count and never get tired of. I’ll start:

@TwangriLa @Super70sSports I’m up to around 20 views. Why does this film resonate with me? It shows the horror of the human experience, but perfectly offset by beauty and artistry. It’s the perfect exclamation point marking the end of the of Vietnam debacle.

@Super70sSports Apocalypse Now. I've seen it more times than I can count. It's a horror movie disguised as a war movie.

@GratefulDead Always wondered if the Dead had any interest/plans to do Terrapin part 2. I don’t think all of the lyrics were put to music, but no doubt Jerry could have worked something out. Can’t get enough of a good thing!

Robert Hunter’s words have shaped countless songs, from the Dead’s repertoire to his own solo work. Which track from his solo albums stands out to you?

@MickPuck Not in Sound of Music, but Tomorrow Belongs to Me was sung by Nazi youth in a haunting scene in Caberet. The song was covered by the white supremacist band Skrewdriver and heard at ultra right-wing rallies in Germany and Austria. Life imitates art!

I'm waiting for Vance or Musk to start complaining that the Nazis didn't get any songs in The Sound Of Music.
