Mostly condensed matter physics, some Canadian, Swiss, and German stuff. #CondMat #UdeM #Montreal
Diligence Jones“Karp’s message is loud and clear: My technology will take political capital away from one of your greatest enemies—liberal women with degrees—and give one of your favorite demographics to patronize—working-class men—more political power to transfer to you.”
These fucking women-hating weirdo assholes.
I used to think my nemesis was the finance bro. My mistake. It's the Tech Bro. Specifically, this kind.

Catherine BabaultHumorous response from four First Nations on Vancouver Island to a Conservative MP. One of the best ways to respond to ignorance and bigotry.

Frank 🍁⚜️A few months ago, a Canadian judge got her #amazon , #google , #uber, credit cards accounts, etc. closed.
She was doing her job investigating war crimes made in Afghanistan, including by the #USA
That offended Americans. They decided to close all her accounts, which they have control over.
I'm expecting this behavior to become more and more common.
This is why #canada should work on #digitalsovereignty
After some heavy wrangling with Referee B, our paper on magnetic polarons in EuB6 is finally out in Physical Review B:
https://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/l3tw-bx3v
We believe it is important, as it shows the presence of magnetic puddles in an electronic nematic, liquefied in the high-Tc's.
Misuse Case@chu @rberger I keep saying that folks should think of what happened with the Titan submersible and the long and short of it is that the owner of the submersible and his wealthy passengers were so insulated from the problems that plague regular people that they really believed they could buy their way out of physics.
That’s what we’re dealing with and it’s really scary.

Using Quarto to Write a Book
I’ve spent the last couple of months revising my Data Visualization book for a second edition that, ideally, will appear some time in the next twelve months. As with the first edition, I’ve posted a complete draft of the book at its website. The production process hasn’t started yet, so it’s not ready to pre-order or anything, but the site has a one-question form you can fill out that asks for your email address if you’d like to be notified with one (and only one) email when it’s available. A lot has changed since the first edition, reflecting changes both in R and ggplot specifically, and in the world of coding generally. I may end up highlighting some of those new elements in other posts. But here, I want to focus on some nerdy details involved in getting the book to its final draft. I’ll discuss Quarto, the publishing system I used, its many advantages, and its current limits with respect to the demands I made of it.
Heidi Li FeldmanMainstream practicing lawyers and judges are increasingly naming the problem: a corrupt Supreme Court in thrall to Republican Fascism. For example, Alex Aronson, who was chief counsel and senior counsel to U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, managing director of the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection at Georgetown University Law Center, and an attorney in the Appellate Section of the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. 1/
