So now I need a theoretician who specializes in black hole mergers or I will go *mad*, because I am having very little luck finding DOIs that provide much in the way of answers!

This actually feeds in to an original question about preservation of angular momentum during black hole mergers, but whilst I was trying to wrap my brain around that I realized that the axial tilt of the merging objects might alter distribution of the resultant angular momentum vector.
Hey @astrokatie.com, do you happen to know anyone who studies black hole mergers?
My brain is stuck on the question of "what happens when two black holes with different axial tilts merge". Is the axial tilt of the resultant object a vector of the two parent bodies? If so...*how*? Etc.
Pete Hegseth claims Donald Trump has renamed the map of North America.
Prior to the Ukraine invasion, Putin used the same tactics. He claimed that Ukraine was not an independent nation - just part of greater Russia.
Fuck your greater America Trump. You are a criminal.
Hey I really need help!
So i understand (though disagree w) local PD refusing to intervene w ICE. But now that we have bounty hunters doing ice work, what is their legal standing when they brandish guns or run red lights, etc? Have officials commented on this change?
Donβt believe the lies. Minneapolis is still in crisis.
Fear of ICE is keeping many immigrant families from leaving home β even for groceries.
#FeedMinneapolis delivers food directly to their doors.
Every delivery feeds a family.
Chip in $25, $50, $100, $200 or whatever you can.
This Oregon mom was the primary caretaker for her husband, who is recovering from a recent stroke. ICE kidnapped her. Now, her two teenage kids are struggling to keep up with school, caring for their dad, and their mother's immigration case.
This is why we need to fund legal aid.
Because I donβt get political enough on my kink accounts, just a reminder of where I stand:
-Fuck Trump and MAGAπ
-Fuck ICEπ
-Black Lives Matterβ
-Trans Lives Matterπ³οΈββ§οΈ
-Free Palestineπ
-Free UkraineπΊπ¦
-Fuck generative A.I.π
THAT IS INSANITY.
What's even more insane is to believe that some how this razor-thin margin equates to "inevitable victory". Bitch, AT BEST this means you get half an election cycle of limp dick congress that can't and won't do shit. This is NOT indicative of support for ending fascism.
WTF.
A graph showing the Dems are +5% on the generic house ballot as of March 06, 2026.
Spend any time on Bluesky and you will see an endless parade of posts championing the idea that victory over fascists in USikkka is somehow inevitable, and that all this is just a temporary inconvenience before justice is served.
Meanwhile, Dems are up only 5% on the generic house ballot.
Record high support for abolishing ICE in latest YouGov/Economist data

Fear of ICE is still forcing many immigrant families to stay inside their homes, too scared to go out for food.
Thatβs why #FeedMinneapolis is delivering groceries to their homes.
Give $25, $50, $100, $200 β whatever you can to help keep families fed.
This right here is what I refer to as a "polite monster". It conflates GLP-1 drugs which help people like me who have a *disease* caused by our *genes* which means we have problems with glucose regulation and metabolism with social ills like polymarket and ICE.
This inhuman thing is an ableist.
The courts aren't going to do shit, and USians don't have the courage to impose consequences without permission.
ICE detain U.S. Army veteranβa 50 year old woman with major health issues.
20 plus armed agents stormed this residential neighborhood to arrest her at gunpoint.
Her crime? Kate just took part in a peaceful protestβevidently her 5 foot tall stature intimidated these agents.
Minneapolis, Minnesota
We have heard from migrants subjected to ICE flights that guards/federal agents lay out the WRAP on the tarmac as a threat: Do what we say on the flight or you're gonna get put in a straitjacket.
Nobody ever tell me what "the carwash question" is, please. It's bad enough that I have heard the terms "maxxing" and "mogging". I don't want to know the details of those terms. Or whatever the fuck this is. Can we all just please NEVER use incel lingo? Just...prevent it from gaining hold.
It is, I think, darkly illustrative of ICEβs incompetencies and casual cruelties that they would look around a school in an ice cream truck. In March. In Minnesota.

The answer to "do the crows want the meat greeblies" is *emphatically* yes.
Apparently, if you choo up all the little fatty bits and connective tissue, crows REALLY like the leftovers of smoked beef.
Incrementalist bullshit. That sort of apathetic denialism and learned helplessness is why the world is in this mess.
Fix your fucking nation. Or we will. And you will NOT like how.
Hugo Boss did not design any Nazi uniforms, he did manufacture them, was a war profiteering Nazi scumbag who used forced labour, but he did not design the uniforms.
The truth makes Boss even worse.

Me on dates: "Did you know medieval people bathed, vikings didn't have horns on their helmets, Hugo Boss didn't design the Nazi uniforms, the beaked plague doctor mask didn't exist during the Black Death, Moors didn't introduce soap to Europe, Napoleon didn't shoot the nose..."
All you need is an allen wrench.
This is the kind of awful shit that right-wingers will either ignore or disavow on the surface/initially, but agree with in substance and in private, while seeking to shift the public discourse to make it okay for ~ firebrands ~ and, later, allies to say aloud, first on RW media and then in public.
The FDA webpage had a stark warning: Some purported autism βcuresβ or treatments, including chlorine dioxide and raw camel milk, are dangerous and make misleading claims.
Now, under RFK Jr.βs leadership, that advisory is gone.
The Purge Palantir list also includes upstate Rep. Josh Riley, who received at least $76,000, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (whose victory fund got $44,000 from one Palantir manager) and several other New York Democrats.
$44k from Palantir to Jeffries btw
