I did a fun thing with @novapbs!

Please help me feed the algorithm so I can do more fun things 😇

Realistic mechanism whereby primordial black holes with significant QCD color charge could have formed during the early Universe

Recent ultrahigh-energy neutrino events detected by the IceCube and KM3NeT Collaborations might be explained by Hawking emission from light primordial black holes.

I've got charged $4.25 on the 1 bus twice today, instead of $1.70! What's up @MBTA?

The Brutalist is about an architect who studied at the Bauhaus.

Its protagonist is fictional, but the Bauhaus was real.

What was it? The most influential design school in history.

So, from fonts to furniture, this is how Bauhaus created the aesthetic of the modern world...

Enormous lies here from your new HHS Secretary

The HPV vaccine (Gardasil) is safe, effective, and is on the way to ELIMINATING cervical cancer!

RFK Jr is an anti vaccine fanatic who would rather your daughter got cervical cancer than a vaccine

Horrible, horrible man.

Indeed, if you make a new program aimed at minorities, incentivize them to apply with better pay and less teaching, and then discourage them from applying to other NSF fellowships... cutting that program will absolutely take a bunch of minorities right out of academia 13/n

Since my face appeared in a NOVA documentary I've received not one, but *five* facebook friend requests from middle-aged men and an email from a stranger asking me on a date.

Meanwhile my male colleagues have been getting questions about physics.

Tune in to PBS in half an hour (9PM EST) to learn about some cool quantum physics! You might even spot me talking about black holes for a bit 🤓 https://t.co/Iq1XZPYDa7

First female character gets introduced on page 42... and this is how.

I will stick to women authors from now on 🤦🏻‍♀️

@larazon_es Soy física teórica y he trabajado en el CERN. Dar voz a esta estupidez en un periódico de tirada nacional es una vergüenza.

Los bancos españoles han financiado con 4.188 millones de dólares la producción de armamento para el genocidio de Gaza.

Vergüenza. Asco. Boicot.

My daughter today learned about Kaprekar's constant and loved it. Does anybody know where I can find more like this (for an 8-year old)? https://t.co/nFFPrxerVN

[Khaled Diab @DiabolicalIdea]

In this article, I highlight the reckless folly during a climate crisis of rich billionaut tourists attempting to go where no tycoon has gone before.

To all intents and purposes, there is no Planet B for humans and so billionaires should focus their efforts here on Earth.

@helinpod @gvachtan We solve the classical theory, and discuss how to quantize it. But 2D gravity is quantizable :) The problems with quantization arise in higher dimensions.

[Dr. Elba AM @elba_am]

New paper! We solve a theory of gravity with positive cosmological constant in 2D (pure de Sitter-JT) and discuss its quantization https://t.co/xHEyTPVlMt

Así funciona esto.

Asesinan a un niño de 11 años.

Todavía no se sabe quien ha sido, pero a los pocos minutos ya han cientos de tuits difundiendo que el autor era un magrebí.

Lo difunden pseudomedios, Desokupa, Alvise, Vox y tertulianos siembran la duda.

Se llega a pedir en comentarios del canal de Alvise "ir a quemar un hotel de refugiados" y "dar muerte a los menas".

Hasta la familia del menor tiene que salir a pedir, por favor, "no acusar a nadie por su raza o su color de piel" demostrando que aun en su inmenso dolor son más decentes que toda esa piara de fascistas que intentan instrumentalizar un terrible asesinato.

Finalmente nos enteramos de que el presunto asesino ha sido detenido. Un español de 20 años del pueblo.

Todos los bulos racistas quedan como lo que son. Bulos. Pero van sedimentando. Dejando una duda de eterna culpabilidad y señalamiento racista hasta que se demuestre lo contrario como ha sido en este caso. ¿El problema? Que todo esto algún día tendrá consecuencias, como en el Reino Unido.

Seamos conscientes de lo que están intentando hacer. No les dejemos.
