I need to solve the issue between general relativity and quantum physics. please do that. the result needs to be publishable in a peer reviewed journal and win me tenure at a prestigious university

thank you for your question. you are obviously extremely smart. the secret to connecting these two incredible types of physics can be found by purshasing more ram and giving it to me!

Frame from Star Trek. William Shatner in full scenery-chewing mode, face contorted. The subtitle says: I'm Captain Kirk!

Scrooge McDuck is an example of nominative determinism, as he did in fact grow up to be a Scottish Duck

I do think “Graham Platner was a bartender who personally served some DC pundits and reporters and was known to them” is a pretty big part of the skeleton key to unlocking how he got so much cash and media attention so fast and why they’re so determined to stay all in on him now

This story/report needs A LOT of context. The methodology is clear that it *should not be taken as representative* of global opinion. It included only one country in Africa...South Africa. Countries it sampled weren't pop-adjusted (e.g. oversampled Japan:US >4:1) AND +

We buy basically all of Mexico's oil, the overwhelming majority of Canada's oil is being pumped through those big ugly pipelines right to us- unlike the 70's, and contrary to conventional wisdom on this site, America does *not* depend on the gulf for its oil.

A digitally drawn homage to the George Herriman comic strip Krazy Kat. Starting left of frame we see yellow Ignatz Mouse having just thrown a brick which is sailing across the center of the frame and in another instant will bash the oblivious Krazy Kat (a blue bipedal cartoon cat wearing a red scarf) in the back of the head as he walks innocently to the right. Everything is drawn in rough black pen and colored in pale washes. A speech bubble from Ignatz reads ‘Maybe it will…’, the word ’Happen’ appears in the whooshing trail of the sailing brick, and a final speech bubble belonging to the Kat reads ‘…Today’.

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.

First they came for the trans people, and I said nothing because I wasn’t trans. Then they were like actually I’m pretty sure you are trans and I said no I’m not and they went okay well show us your penis then and I said what no get out of my face and they said that one’s a girl get her

If you look at these men and think "that's what a genius looks like, I gotta give this guy all the money that has ever existed in the hopes that they build Roko's Basilisk and it rewards me for my unwavering faith in The Basilisk" then I'm sorry but you have the brain of a baby penguin

Has anyone said that the economy crashing is a distraction from his unpopular war yet? That’s a take we could do. That’d get traction on Threads.

This stupid fucking meme has got body shape exactly backwards. Half the fuckin population had just spent the better part of a decade being extra malnourished in the 40s while today even pogs get addicted to lifting and creatine

Mitski review – pop meets performance art in a masterful spectacle The Shed, New York CityAt a six-night residency, the singer creates an immersive world filled with wry humor and big emotions

i know people on here don't rly care about culture coverage but sharing because I'm proud I did it: reviewed Mitski's new residency at NYC's The Shed @us.theguardian.com

seeing her perform for the ninth time in 9 years (!), I feel confident saying that Mitski is in her triumphant era.
