Alien mecha from the future, driven by a fluffy tailed Golden Retriever. I come to spread love and music.

QCD is bonkers. That's no way to do physics! You can't just assume your Lagrangian confirms to some arbitrary symmetry rule and then derive all your fields, forces and particles from that. That's so completely backwards!

Looking for a #1bit pixel-pusher from Brazil for a small project.

Many assets in white on black style to be made. Please send me your portfolios. No crazy deadlines.

Because of legal reasons, the person must live in Brazil. Sorry.

Please help boosting for visibility if you can.

"'In keeping with its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognise the State of Palestine,' Macron wrote.

"'I will solemnly announce this at the United Nations General Assembly in September this year,' he added.

"The move makes France the largest and arguably most influential country in Europe to move to recognise a Palestinian state, after European Union members Norway [sic—EFTA but not EU], Ireland and Spain indicated they would also begin the same process."

There is a counter-campaign to call the payment processors and demand they reverse the censorship, see here for who to call and write https://bsky.app/profile/meltingcomet.com/post/3luqlzgxkz222

A lot of these payment processors are headquartered in California. If you're a vendor that's been discriminated against (for example, if you're an LGBTQ artist whose content has been censored) you can file a civil rights complaint at https://calcivilrights.ca.gov/complaintprocess/

New California state law may also be needed to require large payment processors to accept payments for any legal business, similar to how a utility or railroad have to serve everyone. Talk to your state legislators. 4/

i worked with our director RJ to put together a web page compiling phone numbers, emails, and petitions where you can make your voice heard - protect queer artists and sex workers and tell payment processing companies to end their awful policies harming safe spaces for creative art [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Summary thread & call to action on payment processor censorship, and why it's become a big issue among in the LGBTQ community and among artists.

Lobbied by conservative activists, payment processing companies have pressured businesses into removing games, books, etc from online stores.

While the censorship is initially aimed at adult content, some non-adult LGBTQ works also get censored, and the larger issue is that other works could get censored by payment processing companies (some of those behind the censorship have openly said they want to do this)

First, what is a payment processor? These are companies such as Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, Paypal, etc, that process payments from customers buying stuff from retailers, in exchange for a fee.

my ADHD can't boil eggs. it's too boring to hang around in the kitchen for, but it's also too stressful to keep track of the time. so i've usually just boiled them for way too long

but i just tried residual heat cooking and it worked out so well!

1) heat the water+eggs until boiling
2) immediately turn the stove off
3) wait 6–15 minutes (6=jammy center, 15=fully boiled)

the water cools! you can't overcook them!! it's great

Stop it. Stop trying to visit America. I am an American living in one of the most virulent MAGA states, and I am begging you to cancel any and all plans to visit the US. There is nothing, and I mean absolutely NOTHING in this country worth your safety or your life. This is not the America you remember. It is a Nazi zombie running on hate and cruelty and you are risking your life to give it even more money.

«You have no right to be here.» A teacher wanted to celebrate her birthday in New York. Instead, she was jailed in New Jersey before being deported. A lawyer warns that something similar could happen to almost anyone.

It was called "White Man" and was about how nice it is to be a white dude in a racist country.

It was political satire. Anyway, RIP.
