A little treat going into the weekend: the midterm for my quantum mechanics class was a couple weeks ago, and again the students made memes for extra credit.
Let's start out strong with a PSA about the dangers of nondegenerate perturbation theory. Do you know where your good states are?

Republicans are obsessed with your children’s genitals and it’s time we started calling this shit weird again.
Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.
"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Six of the nine Nobel Prize winners this year work in the U.S.
Three of the six were born outside the U.S., which is the pattern most years. No country has benefited more from welcoming immigrants from around the world.

I have zero fucking sense of humor about this rfk shit. besides the obviously gross misreprestation/othering/etc of autistic people it's catastrophic from any sound scientific POV. any doctor who consults governmental guidelines for anything at all under this admin is guilty of malpractice

It is not so easy for the government to just revoke the 501(c)(3) status of a university, or to block student loans from going to the school, etc., for arbitrary and 1st Amendment-violating reasons.
But what if there's a "compact" that explicitly says, we the university agree you can do this to us?

paradoxically, trying to give an "apolitical" answer to politicized scientific topics means giving a strictly worse answer than if you were genuinely more concerned with the science than politics

Whenever I see somebody online explaining the ways they know a kid is using ChatGPT to write a paper, I am sincerely glad I'm not a child anymore. Em dashes? Oxford commas? Enumerated lists? Complex contrasting sentences? I am a hyperlexic autistic and began writing like that in fourth grade.

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.
