Way more Superbowl posts than I expected tbh.

Hopefully we can all agree CGP Grey is spectacular. #stem #science #physics #saturn #hexagon #explained TikTok video by Dr. Blitz

New video out explaining why Saturn thinks hexagons are the bestagons! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8YL13r2/

New video out, explaining something about light that I definitely take for granted. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8YeXMm2/

#stitch with @COCKROACH NEWS 🪳 "just asking questions" doesn't exonerate you from spreading misinformation, by the way. Make sure to follow on YouTube and Instagram in case TikTok goes away! #stem #sc... TikTok video by Dr. Blitz

Yeah so it turns out we know a lot about the moon! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8FtNxf6/

Impossible

Giving a talk in half an hour on unpublished, incomplete work. Here goes nothing! 😅

Tbh YouTube is better if TikTok goes away

GRILLED THREESE

How's the saying go? Another conference day filled with algebraists talking about things I don't understand while I struggle to pay attention, another dollar?
...
Yeah I think that's it

SOBBING IS DONE WE'RE BACK

I'm so excited

I've done it literally six times today. Pretty sure we're addicted but... I dunno man, maybe I want to be?

Oh hey there buddy

Shorts I understand - it feels more manufactured because it descends from YouTube, which is generally more polished, so it doesn't allow the weird "I'm talking to you personally" vibe. But I think reels just sucks because of Zuck.

Well that was easier than I thought. Hope you like deadpan physics content!

Ah yes, my last white whale of scicomm tiktokers that I follow that don't follow me back. We meet again!

I am!

So instagram sucks and there's no sense of community between creators on YouTube. Bluesky doesn't have good video posting features (and no algorithm to speak of). Are we just boned?

I'm so sad and bored and angry.

Yeah, making a new account doesn't really make sense when my main account has 350k followers.

Apparently so, yes.

Honestly same

To all the people that said I would still have access to TikTok - guess whose laughing now?
...
Not me, I don't have access anymore 😭

Saying goodbye to TikTok is hard. Cultivating an audience the felt like catching lightning in a bottle - and sure, I'll be on YouTube and other places, but it probably won't be the same. But here's to a new chapter!

I love seeing a new @seanmcarroll.bsky.social paper pop up on the arxiv. Haven't read it yet, but I can't wait! arxiv.org/pdf/2501.06609

Yeah that it controls my actions way more than I'd like it to

Turns out ADHD is a helluva drug

I don't think I know how to use bluesky properly. I guess I'm used to my thoughts either staying in my head or only being heard by Mrs. Dr. Blitz?

Symplectic geometry is wildly powerful and I still don't fully grasp it. But here's a taste! #stem #science #physics #math #mathematics #symplectic #geometry #explained TikTok video by Dr. Blitz

Honestly I'm really proud of this video. Symplectic geometry and physics explained in less than three minutes? www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8FMYajQ/

Gravastars are interesting, but they're highly speculative because they require some mechanism of supporting the shell from the inside. But it's a neat idea! #stem #science #physics #gravastar #explai... TikTok video by Dr. Blitz

So gravastars are neat. Come learn about them! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8FNQrPF/
