This week I learned about tantalum-180m, and also coincidentally about a new material to make a nuclear isomer laser out of, one of those just hilarious terrible ideas that also (probably fortunately) doesn't work.

I'm not saying it would be ethical, but I *am* saying there is a combination of skill sets here that could do a ridiculous amount of damage if we all put our minds to it.

I too have read a lot of poorly thought out science fiction. Can I be a nuclear startup?

IRA1 will double our emissions reductions and clean electricity that we would have had by 2030. Before IRA1, we had no chance to meet our climate goals. None. Now we have a shot. 🕯️IRA2 is essential for the climate 🕯️

When a colleague told Trump co-conspirator P5, "We think [a batch of votes heavily in Biden's favor is] right," P5 responded, 'find a reason it isnt,' 'give me options to file litigation,' and 'even if itbis [sic].'" When the colleague feared a riot, P5 responded, "Make them riot" and "Do it!!!"

In the immediate post-election period, while the defendant claimed fraud without proof, his private operatives sought to create chaos, rather than seek clarity, at polling places where states were continuing to tabulate votes. For example, on November 4, PS -a Campaign employee, agent, and co-conspirator of the defendant— tried to sow confusion when the ongoing vote count at the TCF Center in Detroit, Michigan, looked unfavorable for the defendant. There, when a

colleague at the TCF Center told PS "We think [a batch of votes heavily in Biden's favor is] right,"17 PS responded, "find a reason it isnt," "give me options to file litigation," and "even

if itbis [sic]."18 When the colleague suggested that there was about to be unrest reminiscent of the Brooks Brothers Riot," a violent effort to stop the vote count in Florida after the 2000 presidential election, responded, "Make them riot" and "Do it!!!"20

My favorite part about "AI" monetization schemes is that they are all identical to what you'd come up with if you started by asking a chatbot to come up with a monetization scheme.

it really is not an exaggeration in the slightest to say that the trump vance plan for reducing housing costs is ethnic cleansing

I’m telling you, Z_2 symmetries work. Any time I had a problem, and I threw a Z_2 symmetry at it, boom! Right away, I had two problems.
