Too bad Harris was and is gung ho on genocide. Roan voted Harris but couldn't in good conscience nominate a genocide supporter - which totally makes sense.

Over on X the DHS people are claiming that the reason ICE is pointing their weapon is because the photographers attempted to ram the ICE vehicle. I'm sure that claim is as dishonest as the last time they claimed citizens rammed ICE.

We should boycott Apple services for complying with the Trump regime

Apple removed ICEBlock from its store, enabling the Trump regime. We should boycott Apple's services.

Congratulations on selling to 46 states so far! I know how hard it is to sell art.

Unfortunately the market cap for Disney stock going down doesn't mean the company has lost money.

She wants to get students killed

As a former faculty member at UTD I'm genuinely shocked they granted leave. Best wishes overseas.

Science or art? This former UT Dallas physicist’s work blurs the line Russell Stoneback’s tools help scientists study space — and create beauty along the way.

Being against genocide is not antisemitic

Framed artwork was created using the science behind plasma electrodynamics

Zoom of art frame showing the black paint still reveals the underlying wood grain

The new frame is up! I think this was the hardest painting job I've done. I wanted the grain to show and I didn't want paint lines, so that meant numerous thin coats and sanding in between. There was so much heat that the paint basically dried on contact. Good news though, it turned out great!

Freedom of speech and code is speech.

I'm currently working on a frame for this piece here. This is the first artwork I had printed up to ensure the color gradients worked out in real life. The frame is turning out well but given the labor involved I probably won't take this route again. I have to have the frame finished by Tuesday.

For the first time, view the Earth like plasma does. My artwork, 'Fire in the Sky' emerges directly from my foundational plasma physics work on dynamics. Learn more about our world by enjoying the art or by digging in to the underlying physics. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Columbia caved to Trump's demands and not only did Trump not restore grant funding now the U.S. government is directly trying to get Columbia's accreditation removed.

It is unfortunate that the law doesn't apply to Republicans, only Democrats.

Term limits limit experience and give lobbyists another edge. Per the data, term limits result in more lobbyist written bills and laws. What we really need is an improved electorate.

The country is filled with awful people

As a researcher that has tried to have more broad communications I've found that scientists in positions of authority actively block such attempts.

"never argue with an idiot, lest he pull you down to his level and beat you with experience."

What you are probably looking for is the greater fool theory, where people buy something now in hopes they can sell it later for more money. That essentially describes every investment though. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater...

Ponzi scheme - Wikipedia

It isn't about labels but actual structure. In a ponzi scheme investors give all their money to the head of the ponzi, who is supposed to invest money on the investor's behalf, but doesn't. Bitcoin is freely traded commodity like gold-anyone can directly purchase it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_s...

The social contract for peer review also enables publishers like Elsevier to literally make billions per year while reviewers work for free.

The food pyramid turned out to not be accurate but do you have evidence that it was a willful misrepresentation?

SCOTUS has to wait for someone to bring them a case. More importantly, SCOTUS doesn't actually want to stop Trump, they are his direct enablers.

Republicans don't care about the rule of law at all. It is simply a dog whistle for their desire to abuse minorities.
