American physicist Edward Witten explains why it wasn’t until Einstein's work that we fully understand the reason behind the inverse square law, and why it's specifically a square rather than some arbitrary decimal 1 / distance² vs. 1 / distance¹·⁷⁴⁸²²⋅⋅⋅

STALIN (1931): "Such is the law of the exploiters — to beat the backward and the weak. It is the jungle law of capitalism. ... That is why we must no longer lag behind... We are fifty to a hundred years behind the advanced countries. We must make up this distance in ten years. Either we do it or they will crush us."

“If 100,000 Dutch came illegally vs 1 million Indians coming legally, what would you choose?” tate brown says the immigration debate isn’t just legal vs illegal. It's that assimilation and cultural distance matter more than paperwork.

Raskin: Mr. Smith, I understand you are a long distance marathon runner. I read that you're a triathlete who's done more than 100 triathlons and nine ironman competitions. You are in the fight for justice, in the rule of law, for the long distance, for the long haul. And I thank you for that. And we should all try to follow your example.

AI Art. I realize not all AI Art tools work the same way. Part of the problem is that we don’t quite understand “how” it works, and until we have a better understanding, some pause for concern is good imo. 1/3

.Melissa Chen explains why the American way of life is the greatest threat to the Chinese Communist Party's survival. At Tiananmen Square in 1989, students built a Statue of Liberty and recited the Declaration of Independence. The CCP called it "spiritual pollution" and they have never forgotten it. Why would individualism, liberty, and democracy be such a threat to China? Watch here 👉

President Stubb: an American president can't order us to not fight against Russia should it attack more European countries. [Q]: If a future American president says, don't fight the Russians, come to a peace deal with them, they may have just invaded the Baltics, but you need to talk, not fight. Can they do that to you? [President Stubb]: No, and it's not going to happen. And remember that it's also tit for tat. There's a reason why the bilateral defence cooperation between the United States and Finland is deeper than ever. There's a reason why we have 25,000 soldiers training in Northern Norway and Finland next week, 5,000 of which are American. There's a reason why America wanted to buy 11 icebreakers, which they can use for their naval forces. There's a reason why we did the defense cooperation agreement. And the reason is that Finland has one of the most powerful militaries bordering Russia.

This is one of those speed square tricks that makes angle work way less annoying. Instead of pulling out an angle finder or doing the whole “subtract from 90” math every time, he shows a quick way to read the angle directly off the square so you can just set your saw and go. Super handy once you understand how it works. Would you rather use a speed square like this or just grab a digital angle finder?

It's inconceivable why a government official would use Signal to discuss anything sensitive, rather than the highly secure systems the U.S. has spent decades and billions of dollars to build and protect. There's no reason for it.
