The first sentence of the physics department colloquium for this week should win some sort of award for understatement: "Fusion energy promises to produce clean and safe electricity on a large scale, but it still faces some challenges"

It took most of the day, but we finally took the rail off the barn, dug out all the rotten wood it was attached to, replaced it with new wood (well, nice wood that came with the farm), bought a new rail section to replace the one that was hopelessly warped […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

A view showing part of the front of a barn covered with peeling yellow paint. There's a big gap above the door where a bunch of rotten wood is visible.

Similar view, now the gap of rotten wood is filled by a nice new board. There's a ladder visible as well and the sky is absurdly blue above the barn.

Similar view, now with a shiny new metal rail above the door. The rail is hilariously shiny compared to the rusty metal and peeling paint on the barn.

A one-time 5% wealth tax would bring Silicon Valley's billionaires' wealth back to where it was just 31 days ago (when it was "just" 178% higher than on January 1, 2023). They'd rather let 3 million people lose their health insurance than let that happen.

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Magician Girl Pin. This is how magicians do that sawing a girl in half trick. They hire a girl who is already in half, and put a box around her. collabs.shop/r4yylu

An enamel pin of a magician's assistant divided into two separate sections, depicted as a classic "sawing a woman in half" trick. The top piece shows a woman with dark hair resting her hands behind her head with her upper body in a colorful star-patterned box, and the bottom piece shows her legs in thigh-high stockings and high heels extending from a matching box.
