Every academic right now
A version of the kermit vs darth kermit meme where good kermit tells the online academic that they should grade, while darth kermit tells them they should eat more pie.

(1/3) This is 660 metric-ton tuned mass damper or as I like to call it a "gravity ball." It's job is to absorb mechanical energy and reduce vibrations. This one, in the Taipei 101 building, protects the building against typhoons and earthquakes. #Science #Engineering #Taipei #Physics 🧪⚛️🧵
Tuned mass damper in the Taipei 101 building. A large orange ball sits on springs in a room.

Today I learned: Maurice Sendak's first paid gig as an illustrator was when his high school physics teacher hired him to illustrate "Atomics for the Millions" (1943). 🎢🧪⚛️

@stevenstrogatz.bsky.social I think this one of the winners in the @desmos.bsky.social art contest will appeal to you! It contains an impressively detailed implementation of the underlying physics: www.desmos.com/calculator/z...

Bell's Inequality - explained with a casino.

Nice little interactives to help you explore a confusing setup. I enjoyed how easy it was to build up a lot of statistics - and the story framing is nice. (Grr, Ronnie!) By @adambecker.bsky.social

Three roulette wheels all grouped together - and labeled "you". There's a track leading off to the right to a button labeled "run casino". Underneath that are some tabulated results of experiments that happen on roulette wheels 1, 2, and 3, marked with whether the result was red or black.

Happy International Cat Day to all the kitties and the people who love them! ❤️
Photo of my two cats squished squishily in a plush c at bed together. Petite fluffy white girl Francie is in front with two legs and her tail draped over the edge. Large brown tuxedo tabby Fergus is behind her, both of them snoozing.
