New geometrical drawing of mine, colored with watercolors.

Is there a legal basis for suing members of Congress for the salary they collected while the government was shut down

A student had a question about clouds, which reminded me of this video I made a while ago.

It's an experiment I did to try to verify what the Earth Science textbook said - that droplets of water in a cloud can be a millionth the size of a raindrop.

Thinking about AI-generated images, videos, songs, etc...

It seems like the difference is people who think of art as a product vs a process. I like the songs I *have made* but what's really rewarding is *making* them. AI "art" is product without process.

Throwing in Emmy Noether for her contributions to physics too! And a shout out to Dianna Cowern the Physics Girl
Dear Physicists and Physics fans,

I would like to encourage you to celebrate #WomenInPhysics Day this Friday, November 7th.

Why November 7th? Because it is the birthday of two of the most impactful women physicists of the 1900's: Marie Curie and Lise Meitner. 🎢 ⚛️ 🧪 👩‍🔬

I fielded the "if humans evolved from apes, why are there still apes" question from an honest, curious person today. I know it's fun to dunk on that, but we have to tell the difference between "ignorant and confident" and "I never learned this and never felt the need to ask."

I'll never forget the time that I was a teacher at a small Christian school, early in my career and not earning much. We needed WIC and SNAP to get by at the time. One of my students repeated a common lazy-bums-on-food-stamps complaint and I had to bite my tongue. I think about it from time to time.

Everyone please diligently check your candy this year. I cracked open a snickers bar and not only did I find a copper ingot, but it was of poor quality.

Worse still, when my man Nanni confronted my neighbor about it, he was treated with disdain.

I was just thinking... Growing up as a Christian, I learned NOT to love America. It was drilled in my head that I was IN the world, not OF the world. Christian patriotism seemed to meet patently absurd, even possibly blasphemous. I expected to be raptured and leave Sodom behind. 🧂

I actually did it. It took me a month and a half but I've watched every single video on his channel, in order, and made sure to like and comment.

I'll add to this thread when I get the time...I can watch the videos in the background, but this takes my undivided attention, which is in short supply 😵‍💫
A couple days ago @darkmatter2525.bsky.social posted that he has to take a hiatus for a while to take care of some things. I have been a fan of his channel for at least a decade and want to support him, so I'm watching ALL of his videos, hitting like, and leaving a comment.

Never write something down (electronically or on paper) that you wouldn't mind being read on the news by your enemies

This is fun! Luckily I was at school and had some free time... Plus I was wearing a school t-shirt so I got to rep that logo 🤘

Mr. D has 17 people in a class (incl himself). Oddly fascinated by the number, he decided to collect 17 candies a day, every day, for a week.

He brings the candies to class and distributes them all among the 15 students (one was absent!).

Prove there must be a pair of Ss who get the same # of 🍬's.

I get it now. The soldiers are still in the army for the same reason I'm still in America. They belong to something which is obstensibly honorable, and are part of a family's support network that would be devastated if they just LEFT.

I deleted this comment because it doesn't represent me anymore

In case anyone needs to hear this, I accomplished a small, easy task I've been putting off, and the feeling of accomplishment motivated me to move on to other, larger tasks I have been putting off.
