ok, attempting to disengage somewhat with Yemen after aggressively bombing them while doing nothing to try to get them to stop bombing israel is actually pretty funny. mostly because i’m sure those isntraelis are pissed.

this has poisoned my brain so much that i don’t even find the axiom of choice very convincing. zorn’s lemma is, of course, inscrutable. (i am familiar with this joke, it’s a classic)

this is exactly why the axiom of choice strikes me as utter nonsense. once you become struck by what it means to say that there must be a well-ordering on the reals that you can’t construct, you will revile the reals and find them loathsome. before anyone @s me, you don’t need choice for most of the mathematics you care about and also idc, i’m with kronecker, fuck these fake big numbers that play God. also Cantor was a jesus freak and that’s genuinely why he wanted the continuum.

there is a 1 km x 1 km x 1 km neutrino telescope that is buried starting about 1.5 km below the ice at the south pole that uses the ice itself as a medium to see neutrino interactions.

in a very similar vein, i doubt most people are aware that there isn’t a fundamental theory of physics that accounts for neutrino mass. in the standard model, they’re just massless. there are theories that accurately describe neutrino mass eigenstates, to be clear, but it’s still unknown why their mass and flavor eigenstates differ.

i don’t have student loans because the academic system decided that i seemed like i’d be a particularly committed pawn of the capitalist system of education and production. joke’s on them, grad school destroyed my brain, i’m extremely unemployable and also don’t have debts. sometimes i feel better about not contributing income because they wasted all this time training me to be a person that could help develop novel war crimes, and i’m just not doing it.

There are like five people that use computer for true good, and they’re all in that puppygirl hacker polycule

and what’s not fascist you ask? read one piece

happy birthday to monkey.d.luffy, please save us, i cook food good

too much news about all the actually illegal stuff that they realized they can just sort of do without repercussion, better do some performative but completely legal shit for optics.

critical support to comrade PTSD in its valiant effort to get isntraelis to stop committing genocide

i haven’t seen sinners yet, but i’m excited to see what happens if Coogler gets to make an X-Files reboot. i saw fruitvale station a couple weeks ago, and that was an excellent debut film.

louisville, for a place with shitty and corrupt local and state politics, does have a lot of very cool people and some surprisingly impactful unions.

absolutely incredible, no notes

to make any sense at all of this kind of study result, it is definitely necessary to go read the entire thing, and then if it’s a survey, the survey questions themselves, which are often unavailable. and also the article itself is probably paywalled too.

i think what’s most interesting is that these guys look at china, they recognize that amerikkka is fundamentally failing on structural levels, that they’re in the future and we’re in the past, and yet for some reason insist that they’ve managed to devise this mystical, entirely theoretical way to catch back up and get to where china is THAT IS INEXPLICABLY NOT JUST COPYING CHINA??? it boggles the mind, the hubris, the stupidity. they literally insist on reinventing a wheel for the sake of ideological purity and insist that this is the only way to be free.

somebody should convince donald that he needs to dig a moat to go with the wall if he wants it to work. and then that there should be drawbridges. that should waste a little time.

Moran: He did have tattoos that can be interpreted that way. I’m not an expert on them.

liberal media moment

almost every part of the country is a web of hostile architecture and islands between which only cars can flow readily.
