NPR Headline: Bros really are dominating podcasting A new study shows that podcast hosts skew heavily white and male.
In general, I try now to hate on any sort of scientific study. Everything should be investigated, even what seems like “common knowledge.”
However, this seems like the most “yeah, duh” conclusion possible…
WOMEN IN PHYSICS DAY! In honor of the pioneering women in physics who broke down barriers to do what they love, we celebrate Women in Physics Day on November 7th, the birthdate of both Marie Curie and Lise Meitner. Marie Skrodowska-Curie (1867-1934) Radioactivity pioneer, two-time Nobel laureate A giant of science, Marie Sktodowska-Curie conducted pioneering research on radioactivity, a term she coined. She discovered two elements, founded two medical research centres, won two Nobels, and invented mobile X-ray units (dubbed petites Curies), saving countless lives in World War Lise Meitner (1878-1968) Nuclear physicist When Lise Meitner was a teen, Austria restricted female higher education. She pursued physics anyway, and 25 years later became the first woman in Germany to hold a professorship in physics. She helped discover nuclear fission, but was contentiously not awarded the 1944 Nobel alongside collaborator Otto Hahn. NOVEMBER 7TH
Dear Physicists and Physics fans,
I would like to encourage you to celebrate #WomenInPhysics Day this Friday, November 7th.
Why November 7th? Because it is the birthday of two of the most impactful women physicists of the 1900's: Marie Curie and Lise Meitner. 🎢 ⚛️ 🧪 👩🔬

Loved that old MM and this is awesome. 10/10, gave me nostalgia
Cake voice: We are building a religion, we are building back bigger
100% Agree. Top tier GM. 10/10 gave me trauma, would recommend.
Fun fact: Tenochtitlan fell in 1521. From 1603 onwards, large numbers of honest-to-god fricking Japanese Samurai came to Mexico from Japan to work as guardsmen and mercenaries. Ergo, it would be 100% historically accurate to write a story starring a quartet consisting of of the child or grandchild of Aztec Noblemen, and escaped African slave, a Spanish Jew fleeing the Inquisition (which was relaxed in Mexico in 1606, for a time) and a Katana-wielding Samurai in Colonial Mexico.
I don’t know what system to run this (Cypher? Deadlands?) but I absolutely want to play this TTRPG…
(For the record, I haven’t picked up a deck in 15 years, so I haven’t no idea if that’s still the most frustrating play style)
As long as they don’t play land destruction decks, they’re ok in my book
Boy, if only a famous author and YouTuber had warned us about this years ago and wrote a book on the topic and so on…
Thank you for your work @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social and I’m sorry people in power are ignoring it.
100 PERCENT BABY!

A perfect album that came out when you were 16

May I offer a dumb joke during these trying times:
In our house we call that LDD, Lazy Dad Dinner, and that is just fine.
Food vendors existed in Egypt 5000 years ago so no one is allowed to feel guilty for occasionally outsourcing their meal preparation.
