there is nothing a corporation hates more than having employees, but a close second is having to provide a good or service in order to make money. these two reasons concisely explain is why the ai bubble formed in the first place.

one of the things I love about modern physics and astronomy, compare to a few decades ago, is that is rapidly becoming apparent that we do not actually understand the universe as much as we thought we did.

from a red dwarf that appears to be older than the universe, to supermassive black holes forming way too early in the universe, to a supermassive black hole speeding across the universe (what kind of energy could have possibly been used to fling something of that mass at that speed?), to dark matter and dark energy apparently existing but refusing to show themselves, to quantum mechanics and general relativity not getting along despite being our two most reliable theories of physics experimentally, to the weird coincidence that any detector capable of detecting a graviton would have to be so massive it would collapse into a black hole (in fact, exactly massive enough to do so).

a number of these were known facts in the 20th century, but so many of them have built up since then that is throwing our neat little models of everything into chaos. WHICH IS AMAZING, BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT SCIENTISTS CAN NOW MAKE NEW THEORIES ABOUT HOW THINGS WORK BASED ON THE RAPIDLY EMERGING DATA!

also, on a different note, I think it is the coolest thing ever that we figured out a way to DETECT GRAVITY WAVES! just the craziest breakthrough in cosmology since the creation of the telescope, no biggie.

been reading cicero's rant about words being given obscene meanings and i don't think i've ever seen a latin sentence that made me burst into such immediate and violent laughter before

[thoodleoo]

had a couple people be like "i have no idea what this means" so to clarify: the word penis in latin originally meant tail and only later got the sense of, uh. penis. so this is cicero complaining that nowadays all these hooligans are using the word "penis" for naughty purposes

quilted wall-hanging i finally finished up! this is hand-painted with ferrous and alum based pastes, then i dyed the fabric with different natural pigments-- first pomegranate and then madder. the borders were initially dyed with japanese knotweed, then painted and overdyed with madder. the binding is osage modified with iron and the backing is wattle overdyed with madder and then modified with iron ^_^ this thing is like... maybe 24" tall but i dont feel like measuring it right now, oops
