Tumblr staff: ten options is enough for polls, right? No one needs more than that on a regular basis. The average tumblr user: Hey guys which element of the periodic table do you think is the most fuckable?

yeah yeah carbon nanotubes. but what about the copper nanotubes.

For those of you who don't hang out on the physics side of tumblr there's major drama in the room temperature semiconductor fandom happening today:
This is the SECOND time the Ranga Dias, the Time100 scientist at the center of this mess, has had a paper retracted from a major journal. In this instance there are accusations of plagiarism (autoplagiarism even - the retracted paper apparently pulls heavily from Dias' doctoral thesis), data manipulation, serious replication issues, and just for tumblr funsies one of the scientists attempting to replicate the results of the disputed paper is named Alexander Goncharov.
Anway, here's a writeup from the University of Rochester paper The Campus Times and here's a writeup from the American Physical Society.
The best thing is that this is a completely different guy from the Korean team that made a room-temperature superconductor claim a few days ago.
Two dramas at once!
Yeah i am actually not part of the room temperature semiconductor fandom so at first I didn't even realize that there were two controversies happening right now.
If I understand correctly the latest claim has been met with skepticism (I’m sure in no small part to the older controversy linked above), but nobody has had time to actually try to reproduce it yet, since the preprints only got posted in the last day or so.
Right and I guess that the skepticism is reasonable (because skepticism around all claims of room temperature semiconductors is somewhat reasonable) but some of the skepticism isn't because of their (as-yet untested) work but because of the scientists and the materials they were working with, not because of tested flaws with their results or issues with their data, which is shitty.
(For the record I am personally from the Academic Drama Fandom; I don't know much about what's going on with the preprint paper but I do know that I'm going to have a good time when professors start using the word 'baloney' which is why I went down the wrong rabbithole when i searched "room temperature semiconductor news july 2023)
yeah, imagine that
WGA/SAG strike in a nutshell
Bit of advice to anyone who is new to kink or even just sex: assume "no", "stop", "too much", "wait" etc are safewords unless you specifically negotiate otherwise.
You can play with "no no it's too much stop" type stuff being banter or dirty talk or whatever, but you shouldn't assume they are. Yes even if you set a safeword and you or the other person isn't using it.
Also: getting quiet or not very responsive is a reason to check in. Someone not being able to give you a clear "yes I'm having fun let's keep going" or seeming a bit off is a reason to stop when you do check in, especially when they're a new partner.. You can't just assume things are fine bc they haven't said the safeword.
Safewords should be extra measures to ensure ongoing consent, not the only measure.
I stopped giving kink advice on Tumblr about 2012 because, as an old even then, in Tumblr terms, it felt groomy and gross, considering my follower base.
But as a dude who very much enjoys making a partner cum until they think they're gonna die, and then taking a few more for me, this is important. Any little tiny change in behavior or vibe or language, especially when they can't even form words anymore, is cause for immediate check-in.

A few minutes later, the Senate minority leader walked back to the news conference by himself.
WASHINGTON — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell suddenly stopped speaking during a weekly Republican leadership news conference Wednesday afternoon, appearing to freeze, and then went silent and was walked away.
McConnell, R-Ky., had been making his opening remarks about an annual defense policy bill when he stopped talking. The Republican leader was silent for 19 seconds. His Republican colleagues asked if he was OK, and Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming, a top McConnell deputy who previously worked as a physician before serving in Congress, escorted McConnell, 81, away from the cameras and reporters.
Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa made a hand gesture that initially appeared to resemble the sign of the cross. But her office later clarified that she was motioning for Senate Minority Whip John Thune of South Dakota.

“we live in an uncaring universe” yeah dude and I live in an uncaring house. and I shit in an uncaring toilet. but do you touch an uncaring lover? do you comfort an uncaring child? do you guide to sleep each night a cold and uncaring self?

that time Sinéad O’Connor transcended on stage.
My favourite thing about tumblr, that in my opinion makes it far superior to other social media sites, is that new posts live side by side with old posts. These days, there’s a prioritization of new content. It not only shortens the lifespan of people’s work, memes and such, but it also devalues the work that goes into making certain things.
Sure, a lot of posts are just random thoughts spewed into the ether, but some posts are carefully crafted videos, photos, artwork, prose, that take the creator a considerable amount of time and effort to craft. So, as a content creator, it’s nice to see that you can put work into a piece of content on here and it can have a life of its own. Unlike other platforms where posts live and die in a matter of day, sometimes, hours
Yeahhhhhh!!!!!!!
