A good percentage of my friends are Nazis. That percentage is zero; that’s a good percentage of Nazi friends to have.

Pls boost!

🚨 So @spreadmastodon and everyone that has just done or encouraged a #TwitterMigration or the past #joinmastodonday: 🚨

Grassroots folks are organizing our next push to get Twitter folks to make the jump to #Mastodon in the first weeks of May!

This campaign is called #Maystodon - & if you still have a Twitter account and want to help:

➡️ FIRST STEP: Follow this account 👉 @maystodon

Fun watching the Tory outrage machine suddenly realise that reminding everyone about Partygate might possibly have been a bit of a mistake on their part.
El Presidente, thank you showing us another world was possible. May we all have 1/10th of your scruff to keep going when things seem so shitty. #jimmycarter #BikeTooter
Absolutely the best Acknowledgments section of a paper I’ve read. From https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.03988 #astrodon / h/t @playingwithdust
On Cosmological Low Entropy After the Big Bang: Universal Expansion and Nucleosynthesis

We investigate the sensitivity of a universe's nuclear entropy after Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) to variations in both the baryon-to-photon ratio and the temporal evolution of cosmological expansion. Specifically, we construct counterfactual cosmologies to quantify the degree by which these two parameters must vary from those in our Universe before we observe a substantial change in the degree of fusion, and thus nuclear entropy, during BBN. We find that, while the post-BBN nuclear entropy is indeed linked to baryogenesis and the Universe's expansion history, the requirement of leftover light elements does not place strong constraints on the properties of these two cosmological processes.
