The powerhouse of the cell!

My favourite mk ultra control phrase. Everyone in my region called them power plants or power stations. Powerhouse only existed in our vocabulary for that one sentence.

Sometimes my teachers would mess it up so bad that the whole sheet was black and you could only read text by analysing the white pixels scattered at the edges of where black text would be

"H-H-He's black..."

"Go on."

"H-H-He's bald—"

"Does he look like a facsimile?"

I've got one for you. I used to work at the Cortiva Institute - they were massage therapy (and some with esthetician programs) schools with about 30 campuses across the US. Staff were increasingly overworked, underpaid, and under pressure to pump out grads. This tore up the faculty because we WANTED the best for the students, so on the corporate level they leveraged that against us and went cheap on everything.

In their last year in attempts to "pretty us up" as investors were ready to sell us, someone had the brilliant idea to build a new "exciting" curriculum and print our own manuals, promising educational, color materials. What students got for they $17-19,000 was incomplete bullshit like this.

They ended up selling in 2019 and countless people across the country lost jobs, but I like to think we're all better off for it considering the shit direction the company was going.

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell!

Most prisons are actually hooked up to the public grid, so the powerhouse of the cell is the same source as your house.

That burnt wojack cell
