BREAKING: Wildly popular TV series Peaky Blinders drops a bombshell on Ron DeSantis after his campaign uses a clip of the show's protagonist Tommy Shelby in a shockingly bigoted anti-LGBTQ campaign ad.
The disturbing video ignited a firestorm of controversy and was intended to prove that DeSantis is far more hateful towards the LGBTQ community than Donald Trump in an effort to pander to far-right voters.
The video features a montage of strong-looking men and characters as part of pathetic effort to make people think that DeSantis is strong. It fooled nobody. We've all seen the bizarre way DeSantis talks and opens his mouth in public.
Peaky Blinders released an official statement stating that the creators of the show as well as the lead actor Cillian Murphy can confirm that the "footage of Tommy Shelby's character" exploited in the video was "obtained without permission or official license."
They stated that they "neither support nor endorse" the "narrative" of the video and "strongly disapprove of the use of the content in this manner."
DeSantis thought that he was going to score cool points by using a popular show, but only ended up embarrassing himself in the end. The simple truth is that normal people do not like this fascist weirdo and he does not get to lay claim to our pop culture icons.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Peaky Blinder should sue DeSantis — and consider investing in Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is currently doing a round of equity crowdfunding and just blew past $2.4 million raised from 6,200 of its users. If you want to own a small piece of what is quickly becoming the “next big thing” in social media, here is the link to do so, https://t.co/7S6ULL2X5e. You can invest as little as $100 — or as much as you’d like. Here’s the link to download the new Tribel app that Elon Musk is so afraid of: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
@rdviii When I’m in Japan, I love the fast-food breakfasts at places like Nakau, Matsuya, Sukiya, and Yoshinoya. Efficient, tasty, economical, and a nice way to start a day. But they’re certainly not places for lingering.
@cesifoti I get the distinction between “agency” and “experience”. We can perform experiments to test whether something has agency. But can we test whether something is experiencing?
@Mateo_in_ATX@stevemouzon I would guess it’s a situation where the developer wanted to build a high rise of condos there to make money, and the hired architects tried to do something in an awkward site. Maybe there shouldn’t be a condo there. Or maybe there shouldn’t be a freeway there …
This is Yulia Zdanovska. She was 21. One of Europe’s best young mathematicians, a winner of European Math Olympics in 2017. She died under RU shelling in Kharkiv the other day.

@quantum_graeme@CambridgeUP Maybe several years from now that book will become a valuable collector’s item, like the famous airmail stamp, with the upside down plane.
@kareem_carr Controversies can arise in deciding what is interesting/important. Eg, there was a time when theoretical computer science & combinatorics were not really regarded as respectable areas of mathematics, even though results are expressed as theorems.
@preskill I enjoyed listening to this. But when it was explained that quantum computers can try all possibilities at once (with no qualifications), I felt that the metaphors went off the rails.
@meQuanics I agree that simulating Hamiltonian evolution of quantum systems (eg, spin systems) is theoretically interesting. But how clear is the practical value? Is there an area of chemistry (say) that would be revolutionized by this?
Quantum computing question: Suppose we could implement very long quantum computations on 1000 *clean* qubits (clean = logical qubits, after any error-correction). What would be the clear-cut *practical* applications? (serious question)
