maybe we shouldn't have made everything shit

I have not been following what’s been going on with Bouie but my general takeaway is that he is way too online and addicted to social media attention

Agreed that zed is simply unmistakable, and I think it sounds good too. When I first moved to Canada I struggled to get used to saying it but now I find I just say it without thinking quite often.

Out of curiosity is there any reason to think that qft doesn’t handle bound states?

The rise of vice-signalling: how hatred poisoned politics Over the last 10 years, the terms of political debate have changed completely – and week by week they seem to get worse

"Every vice-signal, whether it’s Trump or Farage or Jenrick or Herbert Kickl, is telling you the rules are over. If you can’t believe them the first time, at least believe them the 100th." @zoesqwilliams.bsky.social

The Anti-Vice Popular Front is expanding

I think we should equip simplicial complexes with metrics. I call it simplectic geometry

Great podcast tho

They must have gotten sued again lol

Huh

Secretary Kristi Noem @Sec_Noem I just spoke with @RealTomHoman @ICEDirector @CBPCommissioner . Effective immediately we are deploying body cameras to every officer in the field in Minneapolis. As funding is available, the body camera program will be expanded nationwide. We will rapidly acquire and deploy body cameras to DHS law enforcement across the country. The most transparent administration in American history—thank you @POTUS Trump. Make America Safe Again 🇺🇸

Congrats to Hakeem Jeffries. He’s worked so hard for this victory.

Es-tu-dee-llo

Half a million for less than 1000 square feet 😭

President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion.

Incredible how flimsy a pretext people need to convince themselves they aren't just being hateful bigots

That is a nice Leaf

So somehow I only just learned how to think of a group as a monoidal category and damn that's awesome but how did I not know this already

Agree that increasing the number of doors makes it pretty clear. With 100 doors, you have a 1% chance it's behind the door you chose and a 99% chance it's behind one of the others. If 98 doors are then opened to reveal goats, there's a 99% chance that the car is behind the door you didn't pick.

Think about it like this. This ICE agent was on camera and unmasked — fulfilling one of three "demands" Democratic leader Chuck Schumer just issued in order to agree to save Republicans and give DHS even more money.

And he was still threatening to kill someone.

Take his personal army away from him while you can, you stupid, stupid assholes. You’re like an armadillo playing dead in the middle of the road so the semi won’t hurt you

quite obviously the mandate for bari weiss was to neuter the fact finding and journalistic functions of CBS news for all the obvious reasons. but im pretty sure she herself isn't in on that joke. i think she thinks she's doing a great job at vital work

Man this sucks. Natalie Walchover used to do such next science reporting

(Specialize to the case p=0 for particles)

Seems natural to think of the current form as Poincaré dual to the world lines of particles. I think I got this perspective from Appendix A and B of this paper arxiv.org/pdf/2303.08136

Why not natural? Current ad 3-form means the spatial part is a 2-form representing flux (of charge) through codimension-1 surfaces (relative to space dimension) per unit time. This seems like the natural definition of current (density) to me

we have an incredible capacity to make the abnormal normal but i think all the load bearing contradictions are impossible for the vast majority of people to ignore any longer. you either get to live in a free society or you don't. window for getting off the fence on that one is closing fast

Same energy as "calling for more training of ICE thugs is moving towards abolishing ICE"

"The oil and sulphur; the coal and iron; the cotton and corn; lumber and cattle belong to you the workers, black and white, not to the thieves who hold them and use them to enslave you. They can be rescued and restored to the people if you have the guts to strive..."
