If your boss gets it, they're the best boss of all time.

I FEEL NEGATIVE ABOUT THAT! OH NOOOOO!
There’s very clearly expressed love for all the antecedents. You can feel it, and see it in how the returning characters are portrayed.
That is both dope and a bit too on the nose, I think.
Jesus performing miracles on people without their consent? That's peak Christian shit, and he's doing it before it was cool!
Ayup. The more time, energy, and political capital the GOP spends on infighting the less time, energy, and political capital they'll have to wreck this nation.
Saying the things that need to be said. For every one of those who gets lucky and wins a Nobel there are legions that labor their entire careers in squalid anonymity. I’m glad Karikó is using her fame for good.
![There is a “centre” where the money, the fame, is; most likely your proposal gets funded because it’s on the most favourable topic. Maybe today, RNA is [most favourable]. If you are working with mRNA, maybe that's the centre there.
And then there are people in the periphery. There is no fame, there is no money, no nothing there. The only thing in the periphery is freedom. You can do what you like to do, what you feel is important.
Here’s what a proposal is: why they should give me money. And they should question that. “She came from university nobody knew about.” “She never had a mentor who was famous.”
And somehow it gravitates always to the same people, same circle. They get published there, they get the money. And that's another explanation: I was not famous enough or didn't have anybody who would support me in a way that somebody that’s a famous and well-established scientist stands behind you and says, “Oh, look at this, it’s good.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:h6srr75ahvugj6gts7ql4cpl/bafkreie7jkxonqwgbbcuni4dh54nhodteq24wv4dp6smnvsomdpwpve4we@jpeg)
Also, this discovery of theirs isn't going to make them any less conservative; their conservatism is only a little bit based on trying to appeal to conservative men, the rest appears to be sincerely held belief in their own superiority.
