Well trolled.

@JohnWittle @Aella_Girl What the heck 😂

@Aella_Girl Haha, everybody poke fun at her, she is too self-conscious to dance alone where people can see, but she hasn't thought through the game theory and realized she might be uniquely socially positioned to overcome the incentives and be the first person on the dance floor

is there a street in sf or eastbay with a bunch of easily-enterable bars that are all playing music to dance to? I wanna barhop and dance one of these weekends. Pls, emphasis on DANCE, do not give me streets that have bars where nobody dances

@relic_radiation Everything I do for space is really for earth

I don't get hype about "going to space" - on a technical level, it seems way easier to fix earth, and continue stewarding it, than build something from scratch. also, this quote. the embodied experience of space is cold & empty > the beauty isn't out there, it's down here

@DiracGhost Ahhhhhhhh! She was my roommate in grad school. I’m so proud 🤓

''Lisa Piccirillo: Exotic Phenomena in dimension 4'' a very popular lecture, which was uploaded 9 days ago, on exotic phenomena in dimension 4. Link in the comments

@snwqwn Spill tea

@Bubola @Aella_Girl You are aware, are you not, that the person you have quoted, Blaire White, transitioned *as a minor*?

@Aella_Girl I'm the "let adults live how they choose and show them the respect they show me" and not the "let me give kids sex changes, etc." as explained here. That doesn't make me pro or anti. I'm pro capitalism, though lol

You are ___ trans, ___ capitalism

There’s nothing more indicative of the complete economic control of the oil industry in our society than plastic house plants. But really, why not plastic redwood trees? It’s not *not* carbon sequestration.

@tracewoodgrains If he bought it for that cheap, I wonder if it was government surplus / former biological weapons manufacturing (which Pine Bluff is known for)

Tfw you’re putting on your turtle neck at the gym before work and you realize just the neck smells like mildew. My commitment to not using dryers is starting to sour.

@sidneyvanness @cremieuxrecueil They’re not really separable

@cremieuxrecueil Scientific @cremieuxrecueil >>> political @cremieuxrecueil

Having moderators do live fact checks in a clearly biased way is insane.

@Aella_Girl Just let me know if I’m being negative. I don’t think people are always aware when they’re doing it and it’s nice when people care enough to be direct.

I'm always uncertain how to handle this sort of vibe. If you were this person, how would you want people to tell you/request something different of you?

@EigenGender I…actually don’t know the answer to that. I’m sure at least some are staff members, political appointees, interest group members, etc. But I’ve only ever been to state conventions like the Texas Democratic Convention, sadly.

@SpaceJuno Are most of the attendees really voting delegates? Seems like there are 4700 delegates and seems like many more attendees

actual question: it seems like there are a lot of people present at the physical dnc. Who are they? Why are they there? What do they spend their day doing?

@EigenGender Answer to your second and third qs: they write the party platform, agree on convention rules, and cast votes on the floor on nominations and platform/rules.

Aurora borealis as far south as Oregon, Iowa, and Pennsylvania tonight! NOAA forecasts a G3 (strong) geomagnetic storm (K-index of 7).

Currently in a vegan, gluten-free bakery in Portland and there’s a suuuuper cute queer behind the counter and they have cheesecake and all the other customers in here are speaking Russian. What is this queer gluten-free/dairy-free Slavic heaven I’ve landed in?

@carl_feynman @LeoWandersleb Models of the upper atmosphere are pretty limited, tbh. It’s really hard to predict weather patterns up there, iirc

@LeoWandersleb Perhaps. The input air is Antarctic stratosphere, so tremendously dry. There might be less ordinary snow than there is CO2. I can’t find an actual measurement of stratospheric moisture; any ideas?

Let’s freeze the excess carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere! Antarctica is almost cold enough. Make it colder by building a circular wall around the South Pole, 12 km high and 50 km in diameter. The land inside never sees the sun and is protected 1/

Wow, this guy so concisely summarizes why I decided to go back to the space industry and not work in AI

@RichardMCNgo It’s reversed for naked mole rats!

Today I learned that the rate of dying at a given age increases almost exactly exponentially from around 30 to around 90. The gods of straight lines strike again!
