Seeing the amazing imaging work being done by these folks, especially the Single Photon Avalanche Diode imaging and effects was a real highlight for me reporting this season
In our new Emerging Technologies episode Rebecca Willett, Stanley Chan, and David Lindell join hosts @sam.mathcomms.com and @sadiewit.bsky.social for a conversation about computational imaging, including glasses for telescopes and speed of light matrix effects

Come for the math, stats, and computational science, but definitely stay for the donuts
Our emerging technology on Carry the Two this time around is Materials Science! And it features donuts, not to mention Danny Perez, Logan Ward, and Jason Hattrick Simpers chatting with hosts @sam.mathcomms.com and @sadiewit.bsky.social

Also, remember the reason they are doing all of this. They are scared of us because we are fucking magic. We know who we are and refuse to conform just because people want us to. That gives us a power that they can never imagine, the power to be wholly and truly ourselves!

Combine this with Skermetti and I am so scared for trans youth out there today and tomorrow and until we can all agree in this country that we will actually respect the right for people to live as their whole selves

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Monday's lesson: Don't mess with librarians.
Ultimately, though, the question with Trump's effort to take over the Library of Congress could come down to whether Congress says, "Don't mess with Congress."

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.
HHS plans to cut the national suicide hotline’s program for LGBTQ youth
In February, the program received an average of 2,100 contacts per day.

There we go, got my 1st notification of a grant being cancelled. Not the biggest one & it was mostly spent off, but DOGE can still fuck right off. We are just sharing & archiving some of the best video work of the past 50 years. Y’all are just jealous because nothing you will ever do is this cool

Loved the most recent Stadio (like I have all the others) but I have a different answer to @okwonga.bsky.social’s question at the end than @ryanhunn.bsky.social, I would either sub Bendtner for Eduardo in the 2nd minute against Birmingham 2008 or Rosicky for Ramsey at 55 minutes against Stoke 2010

Libraries provide people free access to both information and experts who can help them parse that information, of course this administration is going to try and destroy the Institute of Museum and Library Services. What assholes!

The 3 steps to get a scholar removed:
1 Start a website
2 Algorithmically create text about how a scholar supports terrorism
3 Post that text
That's it, those 3 things are enough to scare an Ivy League institution into placing a scholar on leave. This is horrific www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/u...
