Here’s the thing for me: Even if Elon Musk doesn’t end up buying Twitter, I’m still not going back. It’s still a cesspit of crap that I just don’t want to waste my time with. I’m not here just because of the possible “Elon deal”; I’m here because it’s a *better* place. 👍

Quantum mechanics could explain why DNA can spontaneously mutate.
It had been thought that such quantum behavior could not occur inside a living cell's warm, wet and complex environment. Erwin Schrödinger had suggested in his 1944 book "What is Life?" that quantum mechanics can play a role in living systems. This latest work seems to confirm Schrödinger's theory.

Most of all, VOTE. Treat every election like it is as important as a presidential one, because each is. Local races may even be even more important.
But there is more that can be done. Join an organization that get out the vote, or advocates for voting rights. League of Women Voters, Common Cause, there are lots of non-partisan ones. They can help you connect with your community, learn how to monitor your state and local legislation, train to register voters, and more.
