These shameless far right extremists should face the consequences for what they are initiating, the hate and the polarization…

How much further can this go, when is enough, enough? When will people rise to put an end to this?

How the right spread ‘brutal and cruel’ misinformation after Minnesota lawmaker killings

The rightwing media ecosystem spins up narratives to serve their agendas after tragic events, regardless of accuracy

The Guardian

The #political conditions surrounding the current deployment are dramatically different from those during that prior wave. #Polarization has spread from society to the political elites, who now, more than ever, seek to use the #military for political gain. On the #Republican side, Donald #Trump appears eager to deploy the #Army against left-wing #protesters.

Mallen Baker showed me something interesting.

Sometimes, reality still manages to place limits on the narrative.

Next at the #SolarEclipse Conference Nick James talked about new (and finally amateur-affordable) polarization-sensitive cameras in which each pixel comes with a polarizer: since it's a while til the next solar eclipse he demonstrated it with the #Moon where the #polarization of the maria is higher than of the highlands, matching expectations. 2/n
Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization

Why did the astronomer break up with the cosmic microwave background radiation? Because she said it was too polarized and never agreed with her!

The #Pockels effect occurs in specific materials known as electro-optic #crystals. When an electric field is applied to these crystals, their refractive index changes proportionally. This change alters the #polarization state of light passing through the crystal, allowing for precise control over #laser parameters such as intensity and pulse duration.
