Yeah but they're all cross-tabs.

General Ripper in Dr Strangelove, ranting about his impotence

In the room the women come and go
Talking of Michelangelo.

The more we automate farming the more people can make art but yeah, someone needs to wash the patients in the assisting living facility on the commune. And specialization brings productivity gains so it will often be the same someone scrubbing 85 year olds.

The US president on the phone in Dr Strangelove.

Look, we’re both very sorry about the widening gyre.

I guess Berkeley needs to set aside another parking spot this year… 🧪

I remember when Buzzfeed let the neoliberals run a "What Will Your Job Be Once The Revolution Happens?” quiz where no matter what your answers were you got “Forced agricultural labor".

Former Berkeley Lab Scientist John Clarke Wins 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics The Nobel Prize committee honored former Berkeley Lab scientist John Clarke for research in quantum tunneling in electric circuits.

🏅 Former Berkeley Lab senior scientist John Clarke has won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics. His research on quantum tunneling in electric circuits paved the way for today’s quantum computers and sensors. 🧠 This brings LBNL’s Nobel count to 17!

Rockwell’s “Freedom of speech” a painting of a man standing up at the town meeting to say something.

I think organizing a pro-Intifada stand in front of the main University building (complete with paper mache frond) on October 7th is not the best look. It might give the impression you don’t care about war crimes if they happen to Jews.

Deleted a previous post because Devoret did go back to France and made research director at the CNRS before moving to Yale again.

Congratulations to this year's winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics. Be sure to check out our oral histories with:

I tried my best :/

Ken, is it good to tell the National Guardsmen your senile boss is sending cross-country that they won’t get paid for it?

Do you feel it is just python or programming in general that they dislike?

That’s Joanne Cohn erasure.

Twisted bilayer graphene would be my shot in the dark.

That’s a Yoo-phemism if I ever saw one.

Arracourt and Dompaire show that experience and coordination are the main factor in tank performance, not the armor/speed/firepower trio.

“Gunther, I’m going to deploy two portable harbors and a cross-sea oil pipeline that I invented just for this operation. Good luck opposing it with the V2”

The lack of a translation barrier between the UK and the US means the brain worms flow unimpeded across the pond. "Le wokisme" still sounds silly to a wide swath of the population in French.

I, personally, having lived in Sweden, was uncomfortable with seeing an autistic preteen’s climate anxiety be nurtured by her upper-class parents into a media spectacle. Now that she’s older I have to accept she knows what she’s doing and probably did all along.

I wish “Bari Weiss" was just a funny SNL skit about a Klezmer Barry White cover band, but alas…

History has ended of course

I was just telling a friend about Steinhardt’s Kamchatka expedition to find samples of quasicrystals in a meteorite!

I’ll finish a run of Hollow Knight before starting Silksong
I’ll 100% Hollow Knight before starting Silksong
I’ll finish the White Palace before starting Silksong <-I am here
I’ll do pantheons before starting Silksong
I’ll complete a Steel soul run before…
etc, etc…

Oh really? Gonna check if my cluster has Haskell support then.

"I need high-performance computing" is a good reason not to and that covers a biiiiig chunk of physicists and chemists these days.
How’s the plotting library in Haskell? chart looks kind of mid.

It is kind of holding the only majority Jewish state to a higher standard than the rest of the world though. Who is talking about dismantling Saudi Arabia because of their Yemeni campaign? Who thought Syria should be dissolved when they occupied Lebanon? Should Russia be dissolved?

"What do you call that act?"
"The trust thermocline!"
