Someone told me once that regardless of degree completed, a "Physicist" is just one who studies physics. In that context, I like to think of myself a physicist moreso than any of my other professions or skills. Which are humorous in number at this point.

That I can say, without hyperbole, that the bar to clear could be set at literally Hitler, and Trump would fail to clear it is mind boggling.

A Democratic comptroller in NYC arrested A Democratic marcher shot and killed A Democratic State Representative killed A Democratic Congresswoman indicted A Democratic Mayor arrested A Democratic Senator tackled and detained A Democratic State Representative in critical condition

If in the end, Israel is wiped off the map, and no rapture or miracle happens to stop it, will y’all shut up about “salvation?” Meh, probably not.

You have two isotopes that differ by the mass of 3 neutrons. You allege it's easier to go from 60% to 90% than from ore to 60%, maybe, people smarter than me think so, but there's still this teensy little issue of raw material. Ore is 0.72% U235 on average, and volume definitely matters.

The answer is in ICE's selection of targets: * Democratic politicians in public * Immigrants attending court hearings, at work, or at schools None of those people will be armed. On the flipside, ICE is scrupulously avoiding raids on cartel affiliates, drug dealing sites, etc. They might be armed.

Uhh, @meatballnonner.bsky.social you’re going to want to see this…

That dumb idea about annexing Canada… 🇨🇦

For an unusual whale this looks a lot like a typical undersized trout.

And in a move surprising no-one, Trump chickens out again. apnews.com/live/donald-...  Trump suggests he'll extend a deadline for TikTok's Chinese owner to sell the app

Can someone please explain to the President something that Tucker Carlson seems to already understand, and it's that Natanz was, in all likelihood, incapable of generating weapons grade uranium? Seriously, if they even tried you'd be able to track the carg-ship worth of ore.

Trump, the world's most unsympathetic dementia patient, thinks he's some kind of authority over Iran it seems, or that people there have any idea that his delusional incoherent rambling is aimed at them now.

If you run javascript on your "news" website that checks for my ad-blocker, you automatically make the "Not a reliable source" list. I wouldn't run a blocker if you didn't allow invasive javascript. You don't get to try to scrape my data and act like I'm the problem.

Oh look, another scheme to defraud investors and see who can get the most bankruptcies before they die; apnews.com/article/trum...

Since Inauguration Day, 418 actions by the administration may have undermined science—66 in the last month alone. Check out @jbd-phd.bsky.social’s snapshot of this chaotic moment and find ways to help protect federal science.

Trump just wants to start WWIII because he's butthurt over getting called out for being a draft dodger.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Our able men and women in uniform swear an Oath to support the Constitution—they didn’t sign up to spend the weekend in a military parade to feed the insatiable narcissism of an incorrigible insurrectionist/dictator.

Bring it bitch. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

The amount of raw material and equipment required to enrich uranium for a power plant, vs. a weapon differ from each other by orders of magnitude. If Iran had been moving that much raw material, or buying that many centrifuges, it wouldn't be a state secret.

Since I graduated high school, the doomsday clock has never reflected more than 7 minutes to midnight. The last update the clock received was January 28th, 89 seconds to midnight. Feels a bit closer than that now.

Look at this worthless shit-bag acting like he didn’t enable exactly what happened.

According to Rubio, Israel acted unilaterally. Which is why we offered to evacuate non-essential personnel a week before this happened. Hegseth is on record saying we have "contingency plans to invade Greenland" Gods I need some fucking nicotine right now.

Instead of a rock, why not throw an Ardino nano with a pre-paid sim card and GPS? Then you'll find out where the nazis are hiding.

If you're listing nuclear weapons proliferation as a reason not to invest in nuclear power, then don't blame me for realizing you're an insufferable fucking moron, you're the one who put it on full display.

Idle thought. Loyalty tests, much like tracer rounds, work both ways.

I'm willing to admit I originally trusted the studies that found no mechanism of action for glyphosate to harm people. I'm an undergrad physics major, not chem. I'm also willing to admit that trust was horrifically misplaced, and that Monsanto can go fuck itself. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTmt...

We are literally at the point where those who have siezed power expect you to just crawl in a hole and die from drinking the water they poisoned. Why do you think there's a mercury warning on eating fish? Did you know that clean PFAS free water doesn't exist anymore?

A little more on RFK's new vaccine committee: Malone - claimed vaccines cause AIDS Kulldorff - promoted mass COVID infection Meissner - opposed vaccines and masks for kids Pebsworth - worked at antivax nonprofit Levi - FL Surgeon General cited his paper when recommending not to get COVID vax

I no longer have any hope that this can be resolved peacefully. What I want, and what I believe to be possible are now diametrically opposed.

Time for @governor.ca.gov to do their job. You're commander in chief of the California National Guard. Your commanders have capitulated to an unlawful order and targeted U.S. citizens. Terminate them. It's time for heavy handed consequences.

I reiterate the question. Is it when he deployes the military against your neighbors and fellow Americans? Is it when he arrests, or threatens to arrest democratically elected leaders? Is it when tanks roll city streets? When does the inevitablity of violence, simply become violence?
