this rule prevents the particles in the collapsing matter from being squeezed indefinitely. As a result, the collapse halts and reverses. The bounce is not only possible – it's inevitable under the right conditions. #BlackHoleBigBang #BHBB www.sciencealert.com/big-bang-may...

I think we may need something like SETI but for inadvertent emergent AGI / AGI in general. We need to start thinking about how we know if something in the "wild" is intelligent or has a self-concept. We need to do our best to have a peaceful first contact if something like that happens.

You've heard about the catastrophic cuts to U.S. scientific leadership the Trump Administration has proposed. This chart from Joshua Weitz (joshuasweitz.bsky.social‬) shows just how bad it is—funding levels for NASA, NSF, and NIH so low as to destroy science in America. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES!

So if Trump is afraid of Musk, and Musk is afraid of us, then does Trump realize that the American consumer is actually way more powerful than Musk? Does he understand how precarious his position really is? If he's going to stay a dictator, then why is he afraid of Musk in the primaries?

When you become chronically ill, you have to grieve your health AND your loss of faith in medical system. You have to grieve the comfort you had when you believed that going to the hospital would make you “better”. You have to learn to accept that more often than not, there’s no help

Treason. Bribery. Other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. These are the three offenses the Constitution names as impeachable in Article II Section 4.

FYI The Constitution allows the impeachment of “all civil officers of the United States” for “treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”

Hey NYC Mayoral candidates: COVID is still around causing chronic illness and death. It’s ridiculous to brag about how you handled COVID (especially since NY handled COVID poorly at the start of the pandemic), if you have no plans to address the ongoing harm that COVID continues to cause.

Wells Fargo has a long record of breaking the law—and this past year, was caught violating anti-money laundering, consumer protection, and securities laws. Lifting the asset cap was a grave mistake. The Fed must show its work and turn over Wells Fargo's exam reports to Congress.

Pages from Geometria (1543) by German artist, mathematician, and cartographer Augustin Hirschvogel. In this version from the Deutsche Fotothek, amid the rigid lines of the geometrical sketches appear the chaotic forms of stains: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/hirschvogel-s-geometria-1543

The air quality in Maine is visibly bad today because of wildfires in Canada. Despite news articles and a Maine DEP air quality alert, my Apple weather app says the air quality is "good" and is not reporting an alert. I can't help but wonder if this is because of NWS dysfunction?

I think the fact that Trump does not in fact, play 3d political chess is really starting to impact his administration. Anyone who knew the personalities of Musk + Trump knew where this was going. The personality clash was baked in. Alpha dogs who want to shift the blame for a cursed + unpopular bill

These ICE agents don’t carry themselves like law enforcement at all. For all we know, these are just racist criminals who were told to go hunt for brown people with giant guns. I mean, who else would do something so blatantly illegal?? What could go wrong??

It makes me so unbelievably sad how much progress on mRNA vaccines is going to be delayed. Arguably the most impactful applied biochemistry breakthrough since CRISPR-Cas9 and the full benefits are going to end up unnecessarily delayed for a decade

When @bradtakei.bsky.social and I first got together, we never imagined we’d one day celebrate Pride openly, let alone post about it on the internet. But here we are, joy and all. Happy Pride, everyone! Let’s keep showing up, speaking out, and marching forward (glitter optional, but encouraged). 🌈✨

Americans are losing a vast array of people and programs dedicated to keeping them healthy. Gone are specialists who were confronting a measles outbreak in Ohio, workers who drove a van to schools in NC to offer vaccinations and a program that provided free tests to sick people in Tennessee.

I'm still working on that abstract piece. It really is taking on a life of its own. It shimmers in a way that's hard to capture on camera. I think it's because of the citric acid from the oranges that crystalized. #AbstractArt #AIAltText

Maybe I'm crazy, but my belief was that politicians should care if people are dying because it's those people who give power to politicians. Some people seem to believe that the American people should serve them, and if some of us little people die, it's a shrug as an acceptable loss.

I'm confused about how the bill's ban on state/local regulations on AI (and apparently most other uses of computing) could possibly fit the framework of budget reconciliation. Or will Senate Republicans just ignore the parliamentarian?

Today is my last day at Georgetown. After 18 years of teaching history, and 12 years as a full-time professor in Germany and the U.S., it’s the end of my university career. I will now try to make it as an independent writer and commentator - which is exciting and terrifying. Stick with me, please!

matt is a genuine midwit because "rent control doesn't work" is an econ 101 fact that immediately falls when you dig into the literature base. "rent control doesn't work" only holds in a stagnant housing market with no new construction and stable to increasing population.
