Why is she a character? Why does she exist? What does she add to the book? What role does she play, other than to collect people’s sympathy and make them feel sorry for her? I’m sorry (not), but Elain is a fucking idiot. From the first three books, I loved every single person. SJM took her perfectly developed characters and pretty much just let them rot. What the fuck is that, anyway? An orange mask? A tiger? I don't understand how you can make a fantastic, wonderful trilogy about love, friendship, healing, and everything beautiful in this world, and then come out with a disgusting, trashy, smutty "romance" that has absolutely no plot, shitty character growth, and an overall shitty book. Well, except Azriel (he can have me any day). ![]() I hated every single person in this book. But can I be real a second? This book was shit, and I hated everything. I have read and loved every book this woman has ever written. Let's get one thing clear: I am a hard core SJM fan. I could give ten flying fucks what you have to say. ![]() To the bitches that want to leave shitty hate comments, by all means, please indulge yourselves. ![]() 6/29/2023 0 Comments Princess Nefertari by Brother G![]() This gave her the legendary title of Egypt's "Lost Queen". The fake tomb was found in 1904 with only two kneecaps where she should have been, suggesting that tomb raiders had already gotten to her. There is also a temple for her at Abu Simbel. Ramses loved her so much that not only did he have her tomb set up with a bunch of elaborate puzzles just to get to the proper burial chamber, but he even had a fake tomb set up in the Valley of the Queens. Nefertari apparently had an epic love with Ramses II, the Pharaoh from 1279 to 1213 BC. Tomb of the Lost Queen Nefertari (which means "the beautiful one has come") was an ancient Egyptian queen who ruled from 1279 to 1255 BC. ![]() ![]() ![]() Young Finn builds a ship to set sail for the magical setting of his grandfather’s stories.

Walter Isaacson is a professor of history at Tulane University. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. He spoke to WIRED from his home in New Orleans, where he is now a professor of history at Tulane University. Even if you think you know the story of Crispr, you don’t know it the way Isaacson does. Based on more than five years of reporting from the front lines of the DNA-hacking wars, the book is an immersive deep dive into the fascinating science of gene editing and the personal dramas playing out behind the discoveries. Isaacson’s latest book, The Code Breaker, breathlessly follows Doudna from a childhood spent trekking through the wilds of Hawaii to her pioneering work harnessing a bacterial defense system to rewrite the code of life-and the bitter patent battle that ensued-and ultimately winning the ultimate credit, the Nobel Prize.
