Vince gilligan is Lazy. He pretends to focus on detail but he sends people into boredom with his pedantic rigidity. Take episode 6, we know what the voicemail says. No need to repeat it. And answering with a billboard. Well done dumb ass. The rotten tomato rating is right, below 70%

Be careful over here there are people putting Charlie’s name on an account and then putting people on the block list as a Marxist . I wish these Republicans understand what a Marxist is and realize we don’t have that in the United States. .

Here’s an interesting new paper on ROS1, an enzyme that removes DNA methylation and that is POSITIVELY controlled by DNA methylation.

Plants repress ROS1 expression to attenuate heat-induced transposon burst - Nature Plants
Plants suppress the DNA demethylase ROS1 under heat stress to limit transposon activation, preventing genome instability. This conserved mechanism balances stress adaptation with genome protection.
