After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

I'm sad to report that Rainer (Rai) Weiss passed away yesterday at age 92. Rai developed the design for LIGO, he and Kip got it funded, trained countless researchers, and received the 2017 Nobel Prize. Rai always had time for students and treated us as equals. May his memory be a blessing

I have made CHEESE BOYS

A photo of a sculpture made of colored Sculpey Clay. The sculpture is based on the Richard Scarry drawing of 6 mice riding in a car made out of a triangle block of yellow Swiss cheese. The little happy mice poke their heads out of the holes in the cheese. It's really cute imo, he popped off when he drew this one. The entire sculpture is about three inches long and fits in the artist's hand.

The original drawing by Richard Scarry. It has words under it that read "Have you ever seen a cheese car on the highway?" No Richard, I haven't, but I would cry from joy if I did.
