The answer to a question no one asked
Pinned
Favorite soap-boxes:
-the #VastUrsineConspiracy (obviously)
-Martha Washington Was Complete Trash
-many “greatest books” are actually of the genre Dick Lit. Here is what that is and why it is Not Great(est)
-WWI: Did You Know/My Many Feelings
-Animals who owe me money/reparations

sometimes I suggest watching "the money pit" for movie night with friends and one guy always says "NO DOCUMENTARIES"
did you know that if a city sewer gets blocked and you are the lowest house on the street it's possible for all your neighbors' sewage to bubble up from your basement drain. it might also be saturday night in record-setting cold so all the emergency plumbers are busy with burst pipes

I feel like with each superbowl, there is less game, and more ads (probably not true). And now the ads are like 90% gambling ads and 10% other ads (definitely true, absolute fact, I got yer evidence right here).

Lmfao my buddy Tommy got up and groaned, as many of us do, and then his 2 year old got up to follow him and made the same groaning noise. Slapped her hands on her knees and everything. Sick burn, Evelyn. Fucking hilarious.

Kash Patel, a podcaster selected because of his fierce loyalty to the President, told FBI agents not to investigate the details on Renee Good's shooting because it would contradict the President. Fact matter less than the King's opinion in a personalist regime.

A somewhat famous, elderly scholar really did steal my chair at a conference.
In fairness, I was a 22yo female employee, and he was old, elite, and British, so I am not sure I was actually VISIBLE to him. 🙃

“Muppet at an academic conference” is me AT an academic conference.
Listen: People are snooty, I get bored, I have to be polite to some guy who stole my chair… I am going to make it weird. I am going to bring chaos. It’s all I can do not to pull a fire alarm and shout “WOCKA WOCKA”

What I have always loved about physics is that, once you learn the basics, you have to let go of everything you thought you knew and accept that the universe is weirder than you ever imagined.
And then you are tortured to death by a differential equation but YOU WENT DOWN FIGHTING, CHAMP.

You know that thing where the farther something is, the smaller it looks? That doesn’t quite work in an expanding universe. It’s true for a while but after a certain point, more distant things (of the same size) start to look BIGGER because their light has been traveling since the cosmos was small 🙃

This galaxy is VERY tiny—much much smaller than our own Milky Way—& incredibly distant. But we can see it AND distinguish its shape!
How?
The light we see from it is from SO LONG AGO that the Universe was MUCH smaller at the time: we see it as it was when it was close enough to us to look big!! 🤯

This is what the most distant confirmed galaxy looks like. The light we're receiving was emitted when the Universe was ~15x smaller in linear size than today, and right now it's ~30 billion light-years away from us. The light was emitted when the Universe was <300 million years old. Pretty amazing!
News from the edge of the visible universe:
JWST has confirmed this galaxy, MoM-z14, as the most distant one yet studied. We're seeing it as it was 13.5 billion years ago, 98% of the way back to the beginning of time.
(MoM stands for "miracle or mirage.") 🧪🔭

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it
Just because good news is worth celebrating:
There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.
HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

Vance undermining the US Olympic Team would be too on the nose
American star Alysa Liu overcame a delay en route to the Milano Skating Arena caused by Vice President JD Vance’s motorcade and finished second in the women’s short program at the Olympics team event.
“We almost didn’t make it,” her coach said.

Nothing could stop the U.S. figure skating team. Not even JD Vance’s motorcade.
