That wasn't just a win for Celtic. That was a victory for Catholicism, Liberal democracy, the EU, Jeremy Corbyn, B*Witched, the withdrawal method, fish on Fridays, financial fair play, soda bread, Buckfast, the INLA, Charles Stewart Parnell and Bonnie Dundee

"In my life, I have watched John Kennedy talk on television about missiles in Cuba. I saw Lyndon Johnson look Richard Russell squarely in the eye and and say, "And we shall overcome." I saw Richard Nixon resign and Gerald Ford tell the Congress that our long national nightmare was over. I saw Jimmy Carter talk about malaise and Ronald Reagan talk about a shining city on a hill. I saw George H.W. Bush deliver the eulogy for the Soviet bloc, and Bill Clinton comfort the survivors of Timothy McVeigh's madness in Oklahoma City. I saw George W. Bush struggle to make sense of it all on September 11, 2001, and I saw Barack Obama sing 'Amazing Grace' in the wounded sanctuary of Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston, South Carolina.
"These were the presidents of my lifetime. These were not perfect men. They were not perfect presidents, god knows. Not one of them was that. But they approached the job, and they took to the podium, with all the gravitas they could muster as appropriate to the job. They tried, at least, to reach for something in the presidency that was beyond their grasp as ordinary human beings. They were not all ennobled by the attempt, but they tried nonetheless.
"And comes now this hopeless, vicious buffoon, and the audience of equally hopeless and vicious buffoons who laughed and cheered when he made sport of a woman whose lasting memory of the trauma she suffered is the laughter of the perpetrators. Now he comes, a man swathed in scandal, with no interest beyond what he can put in his pocket and what he can put over on a universe of suckers, and he does something like this while occupying an office that we gave him, and while endowed with a public trust that he dishonors every day he wakes up in the White House.
"The scion of a multigenerational criminal enterprise, the parameters of which we are only now beginning to comprehend. A vessel for all the worst elements of the American condition. And a cheap, soulless bully besides. We never have had such a cheap counterfeit of a president* as currently occupies the office. We never have had a president* so completely deserving of scorn and yet so small in the office that it almost seems a waste of time and energy to summon up the requisite contempt.
"Watch how a republic dies in the empty eyes of an empty man who feels nothing but his own imaginary greatness, and who cannot find in himself the decency simply to shut up even when it is in his best interest to do so. Presidents don't have to be heroes to be good presidents. They just have to realize that their humanity is our common humanity, and that their political commonwealth is our political commonwealth, too.
Watch him behind the seal of the President of the United States. Isn't he a funny man? Isn't what happened to that lady hilarious? Watch the assembled morons cheer. This is the only story now."

[Physics In History @PhysInHistory]

The Fourier Transform is a mathematical operation that transforms a function of time (or space) into a function of frequency. In essence, it decomposes a complex signal into its constituent sinusoidal components, each with a specific frequency, amplitude, and phase. This is particularly useful in many fields such as signal processing, physics, and engineering, because it allows for the analysis of the frequency characteristics of signals. The Fourier Transform provides a bridge between the time domain and the frequency domain, enabling the analysis and manipulation of signals in ways that are more intuitive and computationally efficient. The result of applying a Fourier Transform is often represented as a spectrum, showing how much of each frequency is present in the original signal.

Joe Biden has served our country with honor and dignity.

As the first president to ever walk on a picket line with striking workers, he has been the most pro-working class president in modern American history.

Thank you, Mr. President, for all you’ve done.

[Wendell Pierce @WendellPierce]

Tonight, I’m joining millions of Americans, by following President Biden’s lead, and fully support and endorse the nomination of Vice President Kamala Harris as our nominee for President of the United States. Join Us. 100 Days to Preserve Democracy

OPPENHEIMER was released one year ago today. One of Christopher Nolan’s most successful films, the behind the scenes story is, like most Nolan productions, enormous…

@BruceTourNews There’s not much in it because all the shows were superb. But there was something about Madrid on the 14th June that was different for me. A combination of the music and the crowd and the venue

[The Football Tavern @TavernFootball]

Sunday morning pub football.

Dragged out of bed, feeling like death after last night's session, and that kebab on the way home isn't helping matters.

You've then got to run around a bit.

Retweet if that's ever been you... because I know it's been me.
