@modularform It won't stop them.

I am teaching Mathematical Physics next semester and I anticipate that I will give around 12-14 problem sets in the course. "Using AI to do the problem sets is analogous to building muscles by watching someone lift weights on TV." Does this analogy make sense?

@agraybee Interestingly it's still not technologically feasible. Apparently.

@BernieSanders Shut up and buy a Tesla.

Oil prices today: $105.25 a barrel Gas prices today: $4.46 a gallon Oil prices in March 2011: $105.06 a barrel Gas prices in March 2011: $3.51 a gallon Big Oil is using the Iran War to rip off Americans at the gas pump. Let’s end the Iran War & pass a windfall profits tax-NOW.

@krassenstein Trump declares MN in open rebellion and occupies the state with federal troops. Easy peezy. Lincolnesque.

AMAZING NEWS!! Minnesota has JUST charged white supremacist Jake Lang with 2 FELONY HATE CRIMES (5+ years in prison) for knocking over this ice sculpture. Trump can’t pardon him from these crimes.

@swrightCO Usually I just destroy ecosystems for fun.

destroying ecosystems because you’re too lazy to make your own grocery list or can’t draw

@mattyglesias Just give me all money and let me give it out to the deserving. Who, concidentally, are my chums and best girls.

A huge winner on both politics and substance — pay higher salaries to the most effective teachers. slowboring.com/p/we-should-pa…

@sciencegirl It's cuz the women are hanging out with bears. Duh!

Do birds trust men more than women? Scientists aren’t sure, but this study suggests they might. A recent study looking at 37 urban bird species across Europe found an unusual pattern: birds tended to take flight sooner when approached by women than by men. Researchers measured something called flight initiation distance, the point at which an animal decides a human has come too close and it’s time to escape. It’s a common way to understand how wildlife perceives risk. Across 2,701 observations in cities throughout the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Poland, and Spain, scientists studied familiar urban birds like pigeons, crows, sparrows, magpies, and blackbirds. The result? On average, men were able to get about 1 metre (3 feet) closer before the birds flew away. This raises an interesting possibility: some birds may be able to distinguish between men and women. But the reason behind this behaviour remains unclear. Researchers suggest birds could be picking up on subtle cues, like body shape, movement patterns, posture, or even scent. However, experts caution that the findings are still early, and more research is needed to fully understand what’s going on. What makes this especially intriguing is that city birds live constantly among humans. Rather than simply ignoring us, they may be actively observing, learning, and making split-second judgments about who feels more or less threatening. Study: European urban birds flee approaching women sooner than approaching men (People and Nature)

@MattWallace888 What's a girl doing in a gym anyway? You can't learn to make a sammich in a gym.

I hate to say it but he made the only right move in this day & age

@ElectionCenter_ I'm not keen on dictatorship.

Blah blah blah all it boils down to is that the minority of voters should dictate who is president

@Kekius_Sage Pretty much every flat earther agrees with you.

Who thinks that quantum stuff should be explained in real terms of real life rather than abstract nonsense?

@DarrigoMelanie He's gonna buy up all the McChicken sandwiches and there won't be any for the rest of us!

This level of wealth hoarding is a mental illness.

@TheAtlantic @AdamSerwer Unless you voted for Sears, you need to shut the fuck up.

“What the Roberts Court is making possible,” @AdamSerwer argues, “is a country where white people can maintain their political dominance at the expense of Americans who are not white.” He examines what to expect following the Voting Rights Act ruling: theatln.tc/Pg529ZdA 📸: Graeme Sloan / Bloomberg / Getty

@cosmicfibretion Lay off the psychedelics.

There are two kinds of physicists in the world: Creationists and those who understand that quantum mechanics predicts a multiverse (albeit incompletely as we do not (yet) understand the quantum nature of spacetime).

@SirSicCrusader But the other humans don't matter.

"You don't matter to the universe in general." and "You matter to other humans." are not mutually exclusive concepts you absolute duncecap.

@MattLutzPhi I would help put together the list, but I've had trouble concentrating since my lobotomy.

Always fun to make a list of discredited theories about which this was said.

@internetarchiva Because LSD went out of fashion.

Why did they stop making cartoons like this 😭

@sciencegirl Sammy Davis Jr

What’s your favourite cat

@LouieKerr8 That was Stalin's approach. Also Pol Pot. They just give me the warm fuzzied.

@Kronykal This is the first one that got tomahawked by an injun.

Guys, I remember Eastern Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Pan American (PanAm), Continental, Trans World Airlines (TWA), Frontier Airlines, ValuJet, US Airways, Midwest Airlines and Mfing Hooters Air. Let’s stop acting like this is new.

@Aella_Girl @wil_da_beast630 Mentally impaired? Why?

How mentally impaired would a human have to be before it would be ok to kill and eat them?
