People whinging in the comments about Dr. Helm's use of the word magical. 1) One of the best scicomm-ers around. Clear yet always with a sense of wonder. 2) Pedantry in scicomm is nonsense. Scicomm is to get people excited about science & our world. 3) Don't be a NdGT killjoy.

I’ve been doing some digging into if and when Cardiff Singer of the World 2027 is happening, and it seems that it’ll be in September rather than June, and with a raised age limit which accounts for people who would have missed out forever as a result of the postponement of the 2025 competition.

Her son carefully lifted his ochre-stained hand from the cave wall and studied the outline. "That's me. My hand." He looked at the other hands. "Do you know all?" "Some are older than me." "That old?" "Hush you," she laughed. "We don't make these to be seen tomorrow, but because today, we live."

The Nexus Project @nexusproject.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

This plan shows that Mayor Mamdani has listened to the concerns of Jewish New Yorkers — and put forward meaningful commitments and real funding to help keep them safe. Our full statement on NYC's first-ever municipal strategy to combat antisemitism:

A M N Y headlien: "Mamdani unveils long-awaited antisemitism strategy with $7.4M for prevention, security." "The Nexus Project appreciates and encourages the implementation of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's Strategy to Combat Antisemitism. We are pleased to see the Nexus Document included among the tools that the New York City government will utilize to identify and confront antisemitism."

Quote from Jonathan Jacoby, President, The Nexus Project: "“This plan shows that Mayor Mamdani has listened to the concerns of Jewish New Yorkers — and put forward meaningful commitments and real funding to help keep them safe. Mayor Mamdani’s strategy is rooted in an important recognition that confronting antisemitism is a critical part of the wider struggle against bigotry. Jews have always thrived in pluralistic democracies. When we defend one another and build a society where no group can be singled out for discrimination, we're all safer and more secure.”

Quote from Jonathan Jacoby, President, The Nexus Project: “We're proud and encouraged to see the Nexus Document is helping guide how New York City understands and responds to antisemitism.

Building this strategy on a strong, pluralistic framework will help stem the rise in antisemitism while protecting the free expression and civil liberties that keep all of us safe.”

Quote from Jonathan Jacoby, President, The Nexus Project: “We are particularly encouraged to see the strategy double funding for the Partners Against the Hate (PATH) program as well as significant investment in new resources to secure synagogues, nonprofits and other vulnerable institutions as well as expanding Holocaust and Jewish history and culture education.

This is a very important first step. The strategy’s success now depends on implementation and turning a plan into real action with real impact. We call on everyone across the ideological spectrum to help make it succeed — by offering feedback, working with city and communal partners, and encouraging the mayor's office to deliver on this promise.”

this is why i’m not interested in “Bibi told Trump to do this war so it’s Bibi’s fault.” Bibi had told every president since Clinton to bomb Iran. It’s the President’s job to know when a foreign leader is being a bloodthirsty idiot and NOT LISTEN TO THAT GUY. This war is because of Trump.
