From Forbes:

Quoting directly from Schrödinger’s diaries, Moore revealed that the physicist justified his attraction to girls by considering that, being a genius (which he believed no woman ever could be), he was naturally entitled. “It seems to be the usual thing that men of strong, genuine intellectuality are immensely attracted only by women who, forming the very beginning of the intellectual series, are as nearly connected to the preferred springs of nature as they themselves. Nothing intermediate will do, since no woman will ever approach nearer to genius by intellectual education than some unintellectuals do by birth so to speak.”

TIL. Ugh.

Generally seems like the right message, but there are plenty of third factors that might be a more direct cause — amount of drugs, microplastics, pesticides, etc in the environment / food.

Russia has done very well, though! Higher prices for oil that people were shying away from, and a possible diversion of arms away from Ukraine.

Yeah, I wish git blame could highlight the lines written by Claude/Codex. Usually when I ask my colleagues ‘so did you use AI much for this one’ they will say yes. But it makes code review that much harder, especially when they then take my PR comments and feed them to the LLM, so I’m coding by playing telephone with a bot.

I mostly use:

• square knot (generl tying a rope around something; learned it earlier than memory)
• bowline hitch (loop at the end of a knot that won’t close up, like I need a handle or want to attach the end of a rope to something; learned it in boy scouts maybe)
• taut line hitch (clothesline, tent to stake, something that I can tie loose and then cinch up for tension; learned it from a cousin while camping)

Sounds like there are some other ones I could learn too! But as many folks have said, learn a coupe and use them frequently.

Nice!

I hadn’t heard about the local employment aspect:

New Bedford is home to the Marine Commerce Terminal, a $150 million specialized staging port for offshore wind. All of the massive turbine components for Vineyard Wind were stored and partially assembled there before being loaded on boats and sent to sea. The project has employed about 3,500 people, many of whom are union workers.

If only we could limit the damage to people who deserve it.

Messing with the jet stream is terrifying.

means you get a lot of extremes next to each other,” Maue said. Storm fronts coming from the Pacific hit that high pressure heat dome in the Southwest and are pushed north to climb that mountainous jet stream peak, “grab access to that cold air reservoir up there” and bring it back down south down the other side of the hill, he said.

Numerous studies have connected unusual jet stream and polar vortex activity to shrinking Arctic sea ice and human-caused climate change.

The article doesn’t talk about impact on this year’s crops, but I can’t imagine this is good for agriculture.

Genocidal military drops charges against genocidal rapist soldiers doing the genocide they ordered it to do?!

Yeah, he has a billion dollar army out there committing hate crimes, there’s no “may” about it.

Don’t be safe! It costs so much more than continuing to expand the bubble!

Fossil fuels & red meat!

We’re really checking off the constitutional rights. Here we go, Separation of Church and State.

Every member of the team stood silently, facing straight ahead, during the anthem prior to kick-off in their Group A match against South Korea, who went on to win 3-0 at the Gold Coast Stadium in Queensland. Iran’s head coach, Marziyeh Jafari, and her players declined to comment on either the war or the death of their long-serving leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, when asked by the media.

Sounds difficult to tell exactly what they are communicating, but certainly they are drawing attention / scrutiny to the situation.

I’ve been enjoying FairEmail. Nice to have options like ‘would you like to remove sensitive data before attaching this image’ instead of ‘do you wish you could turn off this AI bloat’.

The coalition founded to work on it: https://federaloverreach.org/

Meanwhile Trump is destroying public media.

I would like public interest info to be free, but recent events also highlight the importance of separating media and state, both organizationally and financially.

Yeah. And even if true, still not a crime that merits extrajudicial execution. And I don’t believe it until we see the body cam footage (oh, is there none?).

And on the store’s web site now:

Due to overwhelming community support, we have temporarily suspended online ordering. Please consider supporting one of Minnesota’s many immigrant rights organizations. Thank you! https://www.ilcm.org/ is great!

Like I said, working on it. But you know, this evening do I try to dismantle ICE, cook dinner, play a game, or research email providers? Lots of competing priorities in life, let’s celebrate the wins.
