What are ‘internal waves’ that possibly sank the Indonesian sub? If you’ve ever suffered plane turbulence, you’ve been inside one Internal waves can create pretty cloud shapes in the sky, as well as making life unpleasant for passengers on aeroplanes. And in the oceans they can be a deadly hazard to submarines.

Apparently these internal subsurface waves are also thought to have played a role in the sinking of an Indonesian submarine several years ago. Imagine rogue waves, but underwater theconversation.com/what-are-int...

Deep below the ocean surface, massive unseen waves roil and churn the water. These internal waves are a major driver of oceanic circulation, and understanding their behavior is critical for modeling an increasingly unstable climate. news.rpi.edu/2025/07/24/r...

If I were Emperor of Media I would put an immediate moratorium on words like "spar," "spat" and "feud."

I looked more into this episode, and the majority of these participants are influencers. They are openly & brazenly racist, antisemitic etc.

They are using this to gain a mainstream audience by being boosted by both Jubilee and Zeteo. This is how the left often helps mainstream the far right.

Onion headline about a bony soldier with Facebook AI suggestions to learn more about bony soldier’s skills and background

Facebook’s AI suggestions are some of the most aggressively stupid things I’ve seen a corporation push on consumers

Watch the seismic waves from today's magnitude 7.3 Alaska earthquake ripple across seismic stations in North America.

U.S. Public Trust in Higher Ed Rises From Recent Low

Maybe we're seeing some evidence of a thermostatic response to the attacks on higher education. @brendannyhan.bsky.social @cbwlezien.bsky.social @crampell.bsky.social

RPI's EMPAC center for the performing arts

But we've got an incredible humanities program, a world-class architecture school, a tech-focused business school, and experts doing cutting-edge research on a ton of other topics. Drop me a line at ingrac6 at rpi dot edu if you need expertise for a story. I'll have more to share in the coming weeks

Photo of the IBM quantum computer installed on RPI's campus, one of five in the world I think

RPI's known for its science and engineering programs, and we've got a deep bench of expertise on stuff like AI, advanced manufacturing, clean energy, quantum computing, and pretty much any science or technology related topic in the news. Reporters looking for expert viewpoints: hit me up!

Some professional news: I started a new role this week as the media relations manager for RPI, an R1 research university located in the Albany, NY area! I'm going to help tell the stories of the incredible research that gets produced here.

When asked which country is the most important ally to their own, many people around the world name the United States. This is the most common response in 12 of the 24 non-U.S. countries included in a new Pew Research Center survey. It is tied for the top response in three additional countries. But others say the U.S. is their nation’s greatest threat. This is the most common response in six countries and tied for top in two others. In neighboring Canada and Mexico, as well as in Argentina, Brazil and Kenya, the U.S. is the top response on both the ally and threat questions.

one of my crank beliefs is that "building your own" sandwich or bowl or whatever at a fast casual restaurant instead of picking one of the menu offerings is a sign of a weak mind

I'm a GMU alumni, and I'm Jewish, and I keep up with my school and let be tell you, this is BS. GMU is, for better or worse, the model public university for a conservative administration. It is the center of libertarian economic academia. The law school is named after Antonin Scalia. This is racist

No idea beyond his name going viral on Twitter every once in awhile when he was on an especially funny chyron

ADL chief says he regrets not calling out Musk’s sieg heil “more clearly” when it happened.
Except ADL didn’t “call it out” at all. Instead, the org outright defended Musk, and said his action *wasn’t* antisemitic. That seems pretty clear to me.

And a Jack Sock sighting to boot oh my god

We don’t need those types of things, we have dignity and self-respect instead

i think jd vance knows in his heart that the ohioans who fought in the civil war, a significant percentage of whom were proto-socialist german immigrants and veterans of the 1848 revolutions who volunteered to fight because of their hatred of slavery, would spit in his face if they were alive today

I gotta say, as a Jew, it’s incredibly fucked up and sad that Elon Musk and Grok being Nazi sympathizers hasn’t caused a mass exodus (or coordinated boycott) from X.

I don’t like to shame people for what is clearly a failure of collective action, but honestly, what the fuck?

The White House press corps spent the better part of a month coming up with euphemisms like “Roman salute” and “exuberant gesture” and I’m going to be thinking about that for a long time
