Dammit! This is happening at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland, which was about 1 mile from my apartment until I moved down here. I'll be watching though.

So this is pretty long, but if you want a level set; an azimuth check of your own beliefs, this is very good. Even if you only listen to the first five minutes. I'll always defer to the badger. What are your thoughts? @badgercult.bsky.social

#OTD in 2018, optical physicist Dr. Donna Strickland became the third woman to win the #Nobel Prize in Physics and the first in 55 years. Strickland (+Drs. Ashkin & Mourou) won for advancing the science of lasers & creating extremely useful tools out of laser beams. 🧵 #WomenInSTEM #physics

A color portrait of the optical physicist and Nobel laureate Dr. Donna Strickland smiling warmly at the camera. Born in 1959, her historical significance is cemented as the third woman to ever win the Nobel Prize in Physics, which she achieved in 2018 for her revolutionary breakthroughs in laser technology. She has shoulder-length greying hair with straight bangs, black rectangular-framed glasses, and an authentic, open-mouthed expression showing a prominent smile. She is posed leaning forward slightly, wearing a crisp white blouse underneath a structured, dark grey textured blazer. Pinned meticulously to her left lapel is the distinctive, circular gold Nobel Prize medal lapel pin, a visual anchor highlighting her monumental achievements. The setting is a brightly lit, modern office environment with a clean, softly blurred background featuring a touch of green foliage. The composition is clean and centered, emphasizing a brilliant, highly approachable, and celebrated pioneer in science.

Her new book, "The Fight Back: A Citizen’s Guide to Standing Up to Dictators" (coming Oct 13): a practical field guide & resistance manifesto. It outlines a roadmap for protecting global democracy in the modern age, specifically focusing on the threats posed by AI & digital disinformation. #BookSky

The book cover for The Fight Back: A Citizen’s Guide to Standing Up to Dictators by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa, scheduled for publication on October 13, features a bold design on a textured, off-white background. The title dominates the upper half, with the word "FIGHT" rendered in large, distressed black block letters, and the word "BACK" positioned directly beneath it in an equally large, heavily weathered crimson red font, creating an urgent, revolutionary aesthetic. The subtitle, "A CITIZEN'S GUIDE TO STANDING UP TO DICTATORS," is centered in clean black sans-serif text between two thick horizontal black divider lines. Below the lower line, the text "AUTHOR OF HOW TO STAND UP TO A DICTATOR" introduces the author’s name, "MARIA RESSA," printed in prominent, slightly distressed black capital letters. At the very bottom, a final line in red states, "WINNER OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE." The minimalist, striking layout conveys a somber yet defiant mood of resistance.
