Every Scientific Empire Comes to an End
#America’s run as premier techno-superpower may be over.
On a visit to MIT a #scientist, much celebrated in her field, said since Trump’s second inauguration she watched in horror as administration has performed a controlled demolition on American #science. Like many other #US researchers, she’s not sure she wants to stick around to dodge falling debris, and is starting to think about taking her lab abroad.

Specific gravity is an interesting concept. There are two varieties of specific gravity. One is called medium gravity: it is the relation of hops to malt in a beer of materials. The ancient Egyptians had no knowledge of malt, and used hops exclusively, resulting in beer with infinite medium gravity. The other variety is called #gravy (which is a portmanteau for grave gravity): it quantifies the relation of the internal volume of a grave to the mass of the body laid to rest in it.
I hear the Rubicon is nice this time of year.

Look who gets a mention in the WWDC keynote. Shame that the chances of #FirmamentGame ever running in VR on the Vision Pro are negligable, given Apple's history with Epic/Unreal.
