the parallels while i was rereading bad blood were driving me up a wall

i never watched homestuck and i fear every time it comes up, my brain conjures an image of homestar runner

i fear i havent found a system i love yet (and the adhd means i dont always remember to use whatever ive settled on at the moment), so my notes are currently scattered across like two digital programs and three physical notebooks 😔

“Peter Onyisi, a physics professor, has for years used the greenhouse effect as an example of a real-world, practical effect of quantum mechanics to students. Although he does not plan to stop, he worries that administrators could argue that climate change is not ‘germane’ to his course.”

Now this may sound harsh, but I do think that if you design a piece of furniture that requires the use of an Allen wrench to assemble, but place the bolts in such a way that I cannot fully turn the Allen wrench, I should get to drop a cartoon anvil on you

ah thanks for the reminder im so dehydrated currently

woke up too early to go to the library lol

this statue was covered up when i first moved here and the first few times i visited phipps, and then i didnt go to phipps for a few years until my parents visited this summer, so i got a shock when i found out who the statue was of honestly i thought it was covered for repairs or something

no idea who made this but I think of that random person with gratitude every time I heat up any sort of wraplike food object in the microwave

two scenes from an X-Men animated program: in the first, scott summers and jean gray are making out; he is labeled "microwave heat" and she is labeled "plate." in the second, we are more distant from the couple, and wolverine is standing in the foreground, labeled "my burrito."

A lot of people are struggling right now. Including your queer and trans fam, and your artists friends, and the people who are both. The mental health pressures are real and the consequences are potentially devastating. Check on your people. Let them know how much you love having them around.

i have been so sleepy all day what the hell

thinking abt this in the context of the openai github math dump. i can already see people using it to argue "ai can solve math now!" but its academics who have to do the slow tedious work of checking it (for whose benefit?) and theres no chain of custody of ideas for who to ask for clarifications

i would need the rest of the day just to recover

Really proud that my friend Naoko Kurahashi Neilson has played such a pivotal role in IceCube science, including leading the way on mapping the Milky Way through neutrino eyes! She's stellar! Leaders like Naoko helped make today's Nobel a possibility. 🧪⚛️🔭

Milky Way Viewed through Neutrinos

Using the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica, researchers have generated the first neutrino image of the Milky Way.

its been a while since i took particle physics so apologies if this is a silly question, but can the other fundamental particles be described this way too? (like, as independent mass and particle states but bc of how high the masses are or something, they tend to line up 99.999etc% of the time?)

started inking my drawing at 11:30 last night and then my fountain pen ran out of ink so i guess that was the worlds way of telling me to go to bed lol
