Hot take on 2024 Physics Nobel: it's obviously important work, but it's a worrying development that "physics" is just a bit player in the story. I don't think "AI" showed up on anyone's physics shortlist in recent years, and it clearly surprised the winners. Hmm.

A landmark of my Rush (ie Division) Street childhood, long lost to time - I don’t remember them being up past the 90s but what do I know?

Before we celebrate the half full GA rally for the former pres, worth a moment to see this thread on shenanigans with the GA election board. I hope we can straighten out the press by then — we’ll need them.

Vance wrote the intro to Heritage pres Roberts’ book about burning down Washington. It’s going to be hard for the former president to wash his hands of Project 2025, esp when he’s covering himself in this sort of bullshit.
NEW statement from Trump campaign leaders Susie Wiles & Chris LaCivita:
"President Trump’s campaign has been very clear for over a year that Project 2025 had nothing to do with the campaign, did not speak for the campaign, and should not be associated with the campaign or the President in any way.
Reports of Project 2025’s demise would be greatly welcomed and should serve as notice to anyone or any group trying to misrepresent their influence with President Trump and his campaign— it will not end well for you."

Very interesting but can we somehow invert this to get the moths out of my house, please?
Moths are attracted to lights because of the same mathematics that underlies twistor theory and compactification in theoretical physics: projective geometry.
It all starts from a simple observation: translations are just rotations whose center is located "at infinity". (1/11)

Roberts’ words and deeds are alarming: Book coming on 9/24 “originally titled Dawn's Early Light: Burning Down Washington to Save America and more recently titled Dawn's Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America.The volume includes a foreword by [candidate] J. D. Vance”
There we have it
I just want to personally thank @JDVance for knocking me out of the position of the worst Donald Trump hire. I didn’t think it would happen but here we are and I am grateful. 🙏

I was looking up “crushing it” and it pointed me to @KamalaHarris’s Wisconsin event. Just trying to help. #Harris2024ForTheWin
Vice President Harris: We just had the best 24 hours of fundraising in campaign history. This will be a people-first presidency

My head is exploding.
Kamala Harris claimed a stunning $231 million from small and big donors in the first 24 hours since she launched her presidential campaign.

And @kamalaharris now has enough pledged delegates to become the nominee - that was crazy fast and was not in anyone’s bingo card Sunday morning. After the peculiar theatrics of the RNC, I am truly enjoying this no-drama DNC.
Breaking news: A majority of Democratic delegates have pledged to support Vice President Harris as the party’s next presidential nominee, signaling she is likely to secure the nomination next month.
