Re-posting with typo fix and re-boosting this for the US east coast time folks, I moved to Scotland and landed in an unlivable flat, so am offering 15 drm-free books of mine as a thank you for anything you offer as a way to get into a safe living space:

I've always enjoyed @jenlucpiquant.bsky.social's great work at AT & Gizmodo and I know I'll continue to do so! Still, I wish the venue drawing the most attention to our paper had contacted the 1st/corresponding author, as some others did. A 5-minute convo might've been helpful. tinyurl.com/5xz3phaa

Given literally everything else happening in the world right now, I naively thought this kooky physics paper I wrote would be a cute little thing noticed by just a handful of people. In retrospect, I suppose the embargoed press release should have tipped me off. pubs.aip.org/aapt/ajp/art...

You're telling me that Margo Martindale and Wayne Knight were once partners on a team of character actors who moonlit as private investigators to supplement film/tv income by busting bad guys with their acting skills and this has never been adapted into the longest-running show on NBC?

I have thought for days about how to post about the fact that one of the authors who saved me from madness followed me, and I can't figure out a cool way to do it. @itregillis.bsky.social is amazing and his Alchemy Wars trilogy gave me light when I lived in darkness. I can never thank you enough.
