メリクリ(meri-kuri), the Japanese abbreviation for Merry Christmas, sounds a lot like “Marie Curie,” so I’m officially treating it as a physics holiday too 🧪⚛️🎄

Just got back to Osaka after 出張 (business trip) to this incredibly cool place in Gifu: NIFS- National Institute for Fusion Science 🧪⚛️
My collaboration there is theoretical but you can see the main device here: the Large Helical Device (LHD)

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!)

It really is incredible how far the Israel lobby has gone in convincing powerful people to disassociate antisemitism away from discrimination against Jewish people in an attempt to castigate any and all disagreement with Israeli state policy
First they came for the high-tech spy drones, and I did not speak out because I was not a spy drone

If enough people buy it in hardcover, yes. Not an ideal answer but how the business works. Even books that win awards don’t get paperbacks unless they sell enough copies in hardcover.
There will be ebook and audiobook editions, too, which will be cheaper than hardcover.

I‘ve mentioned that thanks to the Epstein tranche I learned that one of my PhD advisors, Lee Smolin, continued to have contact with Epstein after 2007, which is not the impression I had

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
Not one dime for this cruelty.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

Truth! The huge number of attacks on science by this administration will effect the health of our nation (and the world) for years to come
It feels like with the attacks on immigrants and FDA rejecting Moderna, the EPA overturning the ruling on Greenhouse gases is getting overshadowed. Like, this further undermines American science and it will result in many, many people dying in the future but it’s just hard to find bandwidth. 🧪

The irony of the Ontario Conservatives running AI video commercials about protecting jobs…
It’s not a new low since they have never escaped the cesspool that is their politics, but seeing it on repeat on CBC Gem is a new annoyance.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt made a 12-minute response video to people mad at him supporting mass surveillance and censorship, and somehow got even MORE wrong about Section 230 than his original congressional testimony.
