@quantumVerd Psh - ain't no thang.

[TheTardigrade @ThatTardigrade]

@benbenbrubaker I've heard a lot of respectable people asking an equally important question: "Why wasn't the tardigrade also a first author?" #TardigradeEquality

[Ben Brubaker @benbenbrubaker]

I said I was done with the "qubit entangled with a tardigrade" discussion (regarding an unpublished manuscript that appeared online recently). But now that misleading news pieces are coming out, I decided to spell it out at a non-technical level

@SpookyQuantifex @quantummoxie @WyattVine I'll be honest, I'm really in 2^n minds about it all...

[TheTardigrade @ThatTardigrade]

Seriously though people, what do I know - I'm just a cuboid of harmonic oscillators.

You have to understand that for creatures like me the word @preskill has some terrifying connotations.

[TheTardigrade @ThatTardigrade]

@amazing_physics Mate, you've got more chance of entangling me with a transmon.

THE *MOST* INTERESTING PART
Not my words, the words of @S_Flammia.

[Steve Flammia @S_Flammia]

Regarding the Nature Bait on the arXiv today, the most interesting part is that the tardigrade was reanimated after weeks at mK temp and nbar pressure. The actual entanglement bit is routine and could have been done with dust or dirt. Cool work, but don't believe the hype.

@S_Flammia @ArneGrimsmo Oh god, this isn't like the Harlem Shuffle thing again is it?

[TheTardigrade @ThatTardigrade]

@StevenCooko @QuantumMemeing What? This is ridiculous. Who told you that? WHO TOLD YOU THAT????

[TheTardigrade @ThatTardigrade]

@comp_phys_marc @quantummoxie TBH these days I don't even know myself. New season of Witcher has been keeping me going lately.

[TheTardigrade @ThatTardigrade]

@quantummoxie @SpookyQuantifex THANK YOU 👏

[TheTardigrade @ThatTardigrade]

@SpookyQuantifex @quantummoxie C'mon man, I'm standing right here.

[TheTardigrade @ThatTardigrade]

@CarlosSMW These unrealistic beauty standards in the scientific literature have to stop. I mean, who do you know with such a vibrant shed cuticle?

[TheTardigrade @ThatTardigrade]

@MKieferova 😊

[TheTardigrade @ThatTardigrade]

@gregswhitenoise They told me I'd be a first author.
FFS.

@DanielWhiteson You mean Dave? I know the guy. He's a good lad.

[TheTardigrade @ThatTardigrade]

@JarrodMcclean Good to know, I met him years back. He needs some emotional support.

[TheTardigrade @ThatTardigrade]

I mean look at this clown - huge, warm and incoherent - yet not a critical reviewer in sight. #TardigradeInequality #treatequal
