I know that its not actually that hard to learn to draw. or paint. or cook. or learn to speak a new language. or code. or any of a myriad of other possible skills or hobbies. but at some point you need to pick some single digit number of those ten thousand things that anyone can do, and to everything else say "i have other priorities" because otherwise you will never do any of them.

and so i think when people say "i wish i could..." they usually don't believe that they couldn't do it if they really tried, or even that they've overestimated the difficulty of doing so. I think what they're really wishing for is that time and energy were not finite quantities and that everything that was worth doing could also be done. because it's cosmically unfair that that isn't so.

Hideo Kojima in 2000: God damnit we have to change the setting of MGS2 away from the middle east, its too much of a PR nightmare. Good thing we have our politically safe backup plan, the story about terrorists attacking NYC

Ivacaftor (structure retrieved from PubChem)

A revolutionary drug for cystic fibrosis, the first drug that treated not just the symptoms, but the underlying defect in transporting chloride across the cell membrane

looking at its structure tells you nothing, except that it looks like a drug. Pharma, from a structural perspective, is not really about small molecules like this, but rather the interaction of a small molecule with a much larger molecule, the target protein.

I'll look up what the target protein looks like later.

CHAPTER 1

“It sucks that I understand Time Cube and as such cannot avoid becoming a genocidal dictator,” young Paul Atreides said to himself. “For me. Moral complexity is such a burden.”

CHAPTER 2

“Heard any good slurs for poor people lately?” asked the Baron Harkonnen homosexually, knocking back another shot of orphan tears.
