Two front pages of the Economist. The first is dated October 25, 2024 and says “The Envy of the Workd” and has dollars bill rocketing into the sky in celebration of the US economy. The second front page is dated this week April 5th. It’s headline is “Ruination Day” and pictures Trump sawing a hole in the group the shape of the US.
22 weeks apart.
No Shit!
Senator Booker is 🔥🔥
@booker.senate.gov is still giving the longest speech in Senate history. And still making great points we all need to hear.
The livestream of @booker.senate.gov's speech has more than 220M likes on TikTok
@sarajacobs.house.gov uses a discharge petition, with a little help of Republicans, to get around GOP Speaker Mike Johnson to get a vote on parents of young children to use proxy votes in Congress
Now one of my Senators is helping with questions. Thank you Senator Luján @lujan.senate.gov
Keep speaking the truth, Senator Booker
@booker.senate.gov
There’s a newfound mismatch between matter and antimatter. And that could bring physicists one step closer to understanding how everything in the universe came to be.

I don’t do TikTok — but my daughter tells me Senator Booker is all over it. @booker.senate.gov

Breast cancer survival rate in 1920, 5%, 1960, 25%, 1990, 64-80%, 2025, 91% Research did this.
Senator Booker is still speaking.
@booker.senate.gov
Practically useless.
Morally awesome.

Please support him as you can.
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:
Old Town (meh, but…)
A walk along the Bosque can be really nice.
Search for Breaking Bad locations (The Grove has good food).
For something completely unique: the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” George Orwell 1984
Your bio says you are a RN. Welcome!
Rainfall outlook for the monsoon season just dropped and I like the way it looks 🤞 #NMwx #AZwx
I am qualified, and it is a great read.
the legal profession is tightly bound by professional societies, many of which are highly regulated. the fact that the establishment cannot overcome the prisoner's dilemma to uphold rule of law is grim. rule of law is the basis of their jobs! without it, the job turns into glorified bribe broker!
Excellent essay.
The “dumbest trade war” news is getting lost amongst the chaos of our national defense. A bit long but worthwhile speech about Congress needing to reassert leadership on trade.
Everything THIS Pete says is true in my personal experience.
“For Pete’s sake” just took on another, more stupid and incompetent, meaning for me.
And yes, they should all be fired or resign. They should be prosecuted as well, but that ain’t gonna happen with the present Attorney General working for her wanna-be king.
David: Are you concerned about retaliation from the Trump administration because of this story? Jeffrey: It’s not my role to care about the possibility of threats or retaliation. We just have to come to work and do our jobs to the best of our ability. Unfortunately, in our society today—we see this across corporate journalism and law firms and other industries—there’s too much preemptive obeying for my taste. All we can do is just go do our jobs.
A fantastically important postscript to this piece: David Graham asks Jeffrey Goldberg about possible retaliation, and Goldberg gives a perfect answer — with perfect swipes. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
Zero harm and ample upside in Democrats calling for impeachments and a special prosecutor. The VP, the Secretaries of State, Defense, and Treasury, the DNI, and the NSC were all involved in the grossly negligent disclosure of specifics on combat operations.
This is so funny, and true, and terrible. Back in the day I would have been fired and thrown in jail using a cell phone, “encrypted” or not, for classified discussion. Treason — or at least a high crime.
Actually, it is the two major National Laboratories and the several military bases.
I call it the Adobe Hockey Puck. Very nice inside, though.
Nice article in Physics Today- "Researchers share computational tricks at unique Los Alamos conference". Chris Fryer and Aimee Hungerford ran a cross-disciplinary workshop at LANL last year. Anybody doing multiscale modeling in any field should read. 🧪

Good article to consider.
It has been estimated that every taxpayer dollar spent on science eventually grows the economy (and our well-being) 40 to 50 times more. Whether you understand the basic research or not.
