So you've met our Air Force

Australian owner of Toronto café chain fighting Ottawa to save $8K of Vegemite | CBC News Canada’s food inspection agency is ordering the Australian staple be removed from the shelves of a Toronto café chain. The owner says that could cost him thousands in product, and many of his Australi...

Okay but why won't the parties address the real election issue www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Great work by the Harvard community pushing the admin to finally think about fighting back.

"The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government."

This is how exponentials work. They don't matter until they matter a lot.

This is DES not DESI (I made the same mistake...)

Scene from The Ballad of Buster Scrubs of two men being hanged, with the smug man in the foreground asking "first time?". The man in the back is labeled 'Harvard', the man in front is 'Canadian universities', and the rope is labeled 'hiring freeze'

Who is telling students to make up their own BibTeX citation keys? Please stop

Where do you put the witchcraft on the Canadian Common CV?

@overleaf.com is charging for this nonsense??

few people know the King James bible was actually translated directly from the original Fortran

A tier list labeled 'dark matter candidates' that places WIMPs in S tier and gives machos (represented by Randy Savage) an F.

Have been asked to give a dark matter review talk so naturally will be reviewing dark matter

A model image of what our home galaxy, the Milky Way, might look like face-on: as viewed from above the disc of the galaxy, with its spiral arms and bulge in full view. In the centre of the galaxy, the bulge shines as a hazy oval, emitting a faint golden gleam. Starting at the central bulge, several glistening spiral arms coil outwards, creating a perfectly circle-shaped spiral. They give the impression of someone having sprinkled pastel purple glitter on the pitch-black background, in the shape of sparkling, curled-up snakes. An arrow indicates the location of our Sun (6 o'clock). Text on the bottom part reads: The Milky Way map, based on data from ESA's Gaia mission.

Hello @bsky.app community! 👋
We're excited to connect with you here!

You may have seen this already, but we thought to greet you with this recent #MilkyWay map, the best we have so far! It was created based on data from our Gaia mission. See you around this corner of our galaxy! 🔭🧪

Entertained by the idea that controlling AI technology exports to China just led them to develop more efficient AI technology

The emeritus:
I have a new theory of MAGNETISM!

The rant:
[obscure idea nobody has heard about] is bad, and you should feel bad. Why is everyone so obsessed with [obscure idea nobody has heard about]?

The phenomenologist:
We did a global fit to the data with 802 free parameters, and we have concluded absolutely nothing. Let me spend most of the talk explaining statistics to you.

The Model Builder (who has never heard of an experiment):
Here’s my SU(8)xSO(1)xZ2 model. It requires 81 spacetime dimensions, and the Universe is a torus the size of Ohio. Neat, right?

The Model Builder (who has half-listened to some experimental talks and really didn’t like it):
Here’s my SU(8)xSO(1)xZ2 model with three symmetry-breaking mechanisms and a complete cosmology, and unifies gravity & quantum mechanics. It evades all constraints and can never be detected or falsified.

The Model Builder (who has half-listened to some experimental talks)
Here’s my SU(8)xSO(1)xZ2 model with three symmetry-breaking mechanisms and a complete cosmology. It explains dark matter, dark energy, and predicts the outcome of every US election. You all can stop working now, I’ve solved it.

The Very Large Experiment talk (given by a theorist):
If you guys just built a higgsino-leptoquark collider like I want you to, we can discover all physics, cure cancer, and solve climate change.

The Very Large Experiment talk:
Here is a slide with 8 million graphs on it with no titles and axes that are too small to read. I will describe one in excruciating detail. I will not tell you which one.

The Junior faculty talk:
I am going to overexplain everything because I’ve only talked to undergrads in the past year.

The (bad) job talk:
Here is everything I have ever worked on. What do you mean I only have an hour?

The postdoc talk:
My slides are beautiful. Please give me a job.

Types of physics talks 🧵⚛️

The Student talk:
Hi guys I did a thing 😊 😊 Please don’t hurt me.

Google maps in North America: here's the exact lane you need to be in for your exit
Google maps in New Zealand: yeah, go ahead, drive straight into the river

Sadly no. On the form I am the "responsible person"
