Look, Pete is trying very hard to stay sober. If that means closing out every tab, so be it.

Had a big case of "you can just do that calculation, it doesn’t need to be complicated" today, which is always good.

Why even argue with self-proclaimed tankies? It's impossible to change their mind because they lack one.

A Dem Judiciary Committee need to drill Thomas’ money deals like he’s Abe Fortas. And make Alito’s life very, very unpleasant.

Is "Would you still love me if I were a worm" a nematic phase transition hypothetical?

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: A Test of the Gravitational Force Law on Cosmological Scales Using the Kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect The mean pairwise velocity of massive halos reflects the gravitational force law on cosmic scales.

OMG it drained all life-force and water from the grass. (Disregard the month on the dates)

Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

Email from Cal (about un-naming a Cesar Chavez) building:
"A building name is more than a symbol. Those who we choose to honor reflect who we are and what we believe in."

Isn’t that exactly what a symbol is?

It’s also that neutrino experiments have dubious value for money to many of us. It’s very unlikely to be Majorana, the oscillations seem pretty well characterized, sterile species seem unlikely.

S4 would have been a better neutrino experiment than DUNE, and for cheaper.

Reason #1 why I’m scared when I go to Princeton, by the way.

Callais will be beyond the Pale.

Do they relitigate Hitler on X? Like is there anyone left to take the "Hitler bad" side?

The Chevallier-Polarski-Linder parametrization and its consequences have been a disaster for the cosmology discourse.

My three Bluesky guilty pleasure discourses are:
-Molotov-Ribbentrop
-Who is the legitimate owner of the Falklands
-Burrito taxis and other luxury consumption

Mostly because no one will get hurt if the people who have the wrong opinions on those don’t change their minds.

You’re focusing on the paper cut of a person who has been freshly run over by a car.
The zionists were trying to make Israel welcoming for all Jews, it was actually inclusive not to go with what was the mother tongue for most of them but something everyone olim could learn.

No offense but I think the Nazis and the Stalinists did far more to erase Yiddish than Ben-Gurion and co. The NKVD shot Jewish poets and writers, Bundists, etc… And the Holocaust destroyed Yiddishland nearly completely.

Out: Burrito taxis

Would you ever publish something not in English in LC?

You apparently bleed constantly from the face though.

Molotov in "Death of Stalin" turning around and saying "Stalin would be loving this". He is an old man with a mustache, wearing a grey suit and a black tie. In the front of the frame Bulganin or Mikoyan looks like a dumbass, in the back Khrushchev is walking towards the end of a corridor.
