Mitochondria being the powerhouse of the cell is cool and all but I think classes like "How to calm the fuck down as an adult in a healthy non self-destructive way 101" is something that should also be taught before graduation

Warren’s warning hits home: media monopolies aren’t just about profit, they shape what we see, hear, and believe. If one person like David Ellison controls it all, we risk losing the diversity of thought that keeps a democracy healthy.
