REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

Polio was eradicated because Jonas Salk chose not to patent the vaccine, if you want a perfect example of a socialist act.

Socialism is like polio, it comes back when people forget about the horrible damage it did last time.

LIGO Scientific Collaboration @ligo.org · 8d

We are pleased to announce our discovery of #GW241011 and #GW241110

Both come from binary black holes where one black hole is much larger than the other. The larger black holes have large spin. Could these black holes have formed in a previous merger?

Infographic about GW241011 and GW241110

GW241011's source contained black holes about 13 and 8 times the mass of our Sun. The spin of the bigger black hole is high and bear aligned with the orbit.

GW241110's source contained black holes about 17 and 8 times the mass of our Sun. The spin of the larger black hole is high and near anti-aligned with the orbit.

The NYT is so incredibly infuriating with their lack of straightforward headlines and biases that clearly tilt rightward.

A Former Director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory Speaks Out - Lawyers, Guns & Money

Terry Wallace, 11th director of the Los Alamos Laboratory, posted this on his facebook page: On December 18, 1970, a nuclear weapons test was conducted in an underground shaft at the Nevada Test Site. The test, code-named Baneberry, was detonated at a depth of about 900 feet. Baneberry was a relatively small weapons test and […]

"Today, the top 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% of humanity combined. Graham understands this, and at a time when too many politicians take their cues from billionaires and corporate lobbyists, he has chosen to stand with the working class.” — @uaw.org President Shawn Fain

What we need are more working class candidates that care about the grotesque incoming inequality in this country, who care about a livable wage for everyone, who advocate for a tax code that makes the rich pay their fair share, & who advocate for national health care. Most people want these things!

too bad this doesn’t work for a Griffiths script r :-)

Paul Nakroshis / ac1si @portlandphysics.bsky.social · 2d

his current behavior is consistent with that. We have all made mistakes we regret in life; the important thing is to learn from those mistakes and become a more compassionate and caring person. At the moment, that is what I see in Graham Platner why I plan to vote for him.

Paul Nakroshis / ac1si @portlandphysics.bsky.social · 2d

as for the tattoo issue— I wonder how many military service members have a skull tattoo? Do you really believe Platner is a Nazi? I for one do not believe he was or is. To me the question is whether he believes in the principles he is campaigning on and whether (continued…)

Peter— that should be the standard Democratic platform, but unfortunately it’s not. Bernie, AOC and Jasmine Crockett would campaign on that but governor Janet Mills is not advocating for national healthcare. Platner is.

I see Graham Platner as someone who has overcome significant adversity and truly believes in the importance of national health care, and a tax code that makes the wealthy pay their fair share—I’ve been waiting decades for a candidate that runs on these issues.

Vaccines are one of humanity’s greatest scientific achievements.

The fact that members of one political party in the US wants to destroy vaccines signals how unserious they are and how they should not be allowed to govern.

Tyler King @tyleraking.com · 7d

FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

Happy 43rd anniversary of Gary Larson’s Cow Tools Apology – or at least it’s 43 years since The Spokesman-Review, Spokane, printed this:

Spokesman-Review, Spokane, Wash., Fri., Oct. 29, 1982 page 25. Headline reads ‘Far Side’ cartoon sparks cow controversy. An image shows a cow standing on its hind legs behind a table which has strange, misshapen objects lying on it. One vaguely resembles a saw. Underneath the cartoon are the words: ‘Cow tools’ was the caption on this cartoon, which taxed the imaginations of “Far Side” fans across the nation Thursday.
