I’m enjoying it so far though it’s hard to tell how much of what I like is smoothed over software development 😅 I do like having the wide angle camera though it made the trees in my backyard look terrifying

One thing we did in (Re)constructing Accurate Axion Oscillations is compare our results with those of other codes, so you can see directly how they comparatively perform. As you can see, the EFT matches exact solutions most closely 😍 arxiv.org/abs/2609.11056

I need to say something about @wilsoncruz.bsky.social in particular because he‘s been a role model for me since I was 12! On and off screen he has lived out loud, shown us what excellence looks like, and shown us what standing tall in yourself and your principles means. We are SO lucky to have him!

I also want to post a special shout out to @wilsoncruz.bsky.social and Anthony Rapp, who changed my life with their performances and their comradery, and who changed Star Trek forever with an incredible, cosmic love story, which I was *proud* to write about in The Edge of Space-Time

This comment stayed with me because it sounded very reasonable to me and also I didn’t feel ready to adopt this habit myself. But now I think getting caught in the fierce urgency of now can create the impression that we have to act on our first draft thought and not take time to deepen our analysis.

I often feel like so many people feel pressured to write quickly in response to events or news breaks. I used to do that. I’d write a Facebook post or take to Twitter. And now I’ve been so much more silent because when these things are happening, I’m asking myself, “Okay, let’s think about this.” And this is what this writing process has allowed. So in some ways I feel I’m missing time or I’m missing things, and in another way I feel so free, and so much more prepared, I think, to think critically about things that require or demand of us to be patient. And by patient, I mean to offer ourselves the type of grace, time, and critical distance necessary to have something to say that is grounded, in a type of nuanced way that it requires.

Her posts about El-Sayed repeatedly invoke the “untrustworthy Arab” trope by misrepresenting his record. and it’s easy to say “yes but she’d say this about any opponent” but we all know it wouldn’t hit the same with someone named Dr. James Williams. She doesn’t care. Dogwhistler.

Janet Mills with an extremely weak response. Not surprising though from the governor who refused to sign anti-ICE legislation last year. Still a clown 🤡

Statement from Governor Mills on
Fatal Shooting in Biddeford
"I have been briefed on the fatal shooting in Biddeford this morning involving Federal law enforcement. I know that situations like these are alarming and frightening. The Maine State Police are at the scene supporting and working cooperatively with the Attorney General's Office, Maine's Office of Chief Medical Examiner, and Federal officials to determine the facts of what occurred this morning."

The things I gamed out are what’s happening right now. So I understand the point Shay is making when she says:

Too many of us who aren’t on the right seem to have magical thinking. We want good, moral candidates who align perfectly with our morality, values, and political interests and then all we have to do is vote for them. I am sorry, but that type of thinking has no place in the middle of an autocratic takeover. Are we trying to stop things before they get worse or not?

Figure 4 color scheme chosen for REASONS 🌈 Happy June everyone! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Pink purple and blue shading

Figure 4. Classification of spherically symmetric solutions found by relaxation in imaginary time, as a function of interaction strength A12 and particle mass ratio m2/m1 (top) and total mass ratio M2/Mı (bottom). Points are classified as "solid" if both fields have a local maximum at r = min, or "hollow 1" ("hollow 2") if V1 (v2) has local minimum at r= Tmin. The dotted line shows the
analytic prediction A12 = 0.09 for the transition from solid to hollow states. The dashed line shows
the expected separation between "hollow 1" and "hollow 2" states at Ts,1 = Ts,2. In the top panel, all
points have M1 = M2 = 50M and m1 = mo; in the bottom, M1 = 50M and m1 = m2 = mo.
