NEW PAPER! 🧪⚛️
In this work, we studied how the dynamical and spectral properties of a simple quantum system can be modified under the influence of a "structured" environment that behaves analogously to a topological insulator from condensed matter physics

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

Part of why dealing with the far right is so frustrating is that these people sincerely hate immigrants, LGBT people, and the left at large more than they care about their own personal wellbeing or their own communities. This young woman permanently disfigured herself to “own the libs.” Incredible.
SCOOP — A former staffer for Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), Natalie Green, 26, was charged today for falsely reporting she was attacked by 3 men who wrote "TRUMP WHORE" on her stomach bc of her job. It was staged by her + a friend.
Van Drew isn't named in the complaint but I've confirmed w/ his office.

I’ve been skeptical of McBride’s play-nice-with-bigots approach, but I will give her credit for achieving some meaningful success here
This is the hardest I have seen any member of Congress work to try and address transphobia in Congress, and her ability to get nearly all Democratic lawmakers to sign onto this letter is something any first would applaud
House Dems unite to tell GOP to stop "demonizing" trans people with "dehumanizing" slurs - LGBTQ Nation
Rep. Nancy Mace's "tra**y, tra**y, tra**y!" tirade is just one example.

the lesson media people should take from the BBC blow up last week is that no matter how transphobic your editorial bent is, it will never ever ever satisfy the fascists
"One irony of this situation is that while those on the British left tend to defend the BBC on principle, they are often exasperated by its deference to the right-wing press..."

Remember when Tim Walz was going around talking about how weird these people are, and it resonated extremely well because they’re all a bunch of dipshits, and then Kamala Harris was suddenly like “No, we need to appeal to their sense of decency”

It really says something when one of the prominent voices in MAGA is insisting you consider the difference between a man raping a five year old vs a fifteen year old, while another still insists the masked men dragging entire families out of their homes are really about “protecting children”
