USS Defiant is throwing everybody to Star Trek, but with rail guns, point defense cannons, lasers, and huge missile capacity, this is clearly a flagship from The Expanse.

Season 2 of Danger 5 is season purist and arguably theme neutral (alternatively, theme rebel). Every episode takes place on Christmas Day and at least some of the team become better people by the end, or at least more accepting of themselves. And above all else, they kill Hitler.

So when the AHA says it's OK to use AI to summarize scholarship, the greatest risk this guideline poses isn't simply to the quality or accuracy of research; the hazard it poses is to the communal nature of the knowledge production. A pursuit that puts people across time & space into conversation 4/n

The US has already lost 12% of its current income due to climate change. Most studies project future losses, but new research from the University of Arizona has calculated the costs to date.

Climate change's hidden price tag: a drop in our income
By linking decades of weather and income data, University of Arizona economist Derek Lemoine shows how routine temperature shifts have already become an economic force.

New astrophysics term encountered today: Black hole ringdown. When two black holes (or sufficiently massive neutron stars) merge, the spacetime around their now-shared event horizon generates dissipative vibrations.

Minting billionaires was a primary goal of US (and by extension, most western) political economy since the late 70s. The existence of our crop of billionaires is just as planned as the New Deal. This framing implies that just as they were built up, they can be torn down. Also helps that it's true.
The chasing goose meme for this kind of statement is, "Who funded the media that developed these positions? Who paid for the systems that manufactured this consent?"
It would be nice if classic villains were why progress is slow but the story rarely works out so nicely. Billionaires aren’t why homes are expensive, or why we can’t build a subway, or why no one wants solar panels built near them

My boss again failed the "don't come into work while sick challenge" today.
I'm now hoping to pass the "don't get sick from my boss a week before the holidays and give it to the rest of the family so they're all sick and we have to decide if we're skipping visiting family for Christmas" challenge.

I know the 1990 shots are from the movie and so subject to film post-processing and a level of set design most homes never experience, but they're so much warmer and human than the present-day pictures below them.
I’m sorry to report, especially during this time of year, that the Home Alone House has become the latest victim of Millennial Gray.
