Keep seeing this phrase that the liver is the only organ that can regenerate. My second favourite organ…but this ain’t right
I don’t often defend the garbage organ that is skin but this is 🙅🏽♂️ skin erasure
Most organs have SOME regenerative ability. The liver’s is crazy though, up to 70% regrowth

Surprised the article only makes a fleeting mention of influencers. Parasocial relationships with people like vloggers or streamers are 100 times stronger than with celebrities as the volume of content they produce, and how much of their life they share, is overwhelming. What’s the implication? >

I don't usually do this, but I will be at #PAXU and would love to know about your booth/panel/other cool thing.
I'm in the final stretch of the first draft of the AP book, so would also love to talk to folks I haven't had a chance to (along with familiar faces I''ll be glad to see again).
