2024 saw plenty of high-profile disappointments and surprising successes, but the year’s best films mostly lay in the lower-profile fare.

See VF chief critic @rilaws’s list of the best films of the year: https://t.co/M5HZLpN6sx

@thedragonLML I had to memorize a ton of stuff about the TF relation for my PhD oral exam, and I remembered the two names going together because the sigil of house Tully is a fish lol. Glad to see someone else thought of asoiaf when studying their galaxy relations

[Physics In History @PhysInHistory]

The solar eclipse of May 29, 1919, played a crucial role in proving Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. British astronomer Arthur Eddington observed the eclipse from the island of Príncipe off the coast of West Africa. He photographed the positions of stars near the Sun, which appeared to shift due to the bending of light by the Sun's gravity, exactly as predicted by Einstein. This observation provided the first empirical validation of general relativity, fundamentally changing our understanding of physics.

Here's another fun question: given two loops around an (infinite) pole, can you remove one loop without breaking it?

Amazingly enough... yes!

This is a surprising example of what's called an "ambient isotopy": a continuous deformation of space taking one shape to another. 1/n

[LizaMinnelliOutlives @LiZaOutlives]

Liza Minnelli has outlived the Keystone pipeline which has been canceled. This is a monumental victory for climate change activists who feared it would speed up global warming.

My latest for @TheDePaulia: The EPA recently pressured the Lightfoot administration into halting permits for a controversial metal-scrapping facility on the Southeast Side, but the work of Chicago’s environmental justice advocates is far from over. https://t.co/HgIY7fBp12
