It isn’t symbolic or meaningful or an endorsement of anyone or anything when you tick the little box, it is a practical step adding your one little grain of sand to the balance to tip it away from what is unarguably a much bleaker future for the world

Omg I can’t believe I never asked you this, but have you made or worked on any films 👀

The current upper limits is that the photon must be at least a trillion trillion times lighter than the electron.

So in electromagnetic theory photos are massless. But one can experimentally try to check this, I believe this is mainly done by checking if the speed of light at different frequencies is different — which would be true if the photon was massive.

Ooh I should check out the sparrow. I was blown away by the Canticle of Leibowitz. One of my all time favorites

These are the two oldest, whitest men and they AREN'T EVEN PHYSICISTS and I hate it, thanks. Also? If you're going to go rogue? CLIMATE SCIENCE IS RIGHT THERE and *certainly* more physics than this.

Been trying to put my finger on this and I think you have said this so clearly! They (esp the so-called papers of record like NYT) seem to have lost deeper understanding of political purpose. They've become purely reactionary, driven by news cycles rather than ask hard hitting original questions.

Not only is the American political press not up to the moment, it's increasingly unclear that they're up to any moment at all. Putting their shoes on themselves may be beyond them

Ooh I like this a lot. Would it be ok if I steal this idea?

Harris needs to win just to keep the IRA and prevent the dystopian shit in Project 2025. But has she actually said anything about supporting further climate legislation? Honestly anxious & appalled at how little even Dems are talking about CC this time, even with all the warming over the last 2 yrs.
