Why did Dolphins, Steelers trade Ramsey and Fitzpatrick, and are they done? https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45617965/jalen-ramsey-minkah-fitzpatrick-steelers-dolphins-trade-questions-contract

"I hate [politician on my side not doing what I want], they need to go!"
You can blame people you basically agree with, or you can work with the people available to try to work toward better.
1st feels good for maybe 5 minutes, then ruins improvement right now, the 2nd has a chance to make things better.
Try to take your anger, your resentment, which I share, to those chiefly responsible for problems, and not to those nearest and ablest to help, even if not as fla…

Canceled the Google account for my small business... Less money going to AI bullshit and Google's evil practices.
And I let them know.
(I had to click through a lot of screens where they tried to get me to stay, offered discounts, or offered to archive data for a few dollars a month. No thanks.)

Fiducial observers and the thermal atmosphere in the black hole quantum throat
We propose a construction of fiducial observers in the throat region of near-extremal black holes within the framework of JT quantum gravity, leading to a notion of local observers in a highly quantum regime of the gravitational field. The construction is based on an earlier proposal for light-ray anchoring to the asymptotic boundary and is uniquely fixed at the semiclassical level by demanding that the notion of time translations for an observer at the asymptotic boundary of JT gravity should …

Toward the profinite rigidity of hyperbolic 3-manifolds
This note surveys recent progress toward the profinite rigidity of orientable finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Beginning in a brief review of some basic settings of profinite completion and rigidity of general groups, we state the complete results in profinite detection of 3-manifold decompositions and profinite rigidity or nonrigidity of other types of 3-manifolds, which reduce the problem to the hyperbolic case. Then we give some evidence to a positive answer and conclude some existing i…

#TIL that blowing vs sucking the same spot on a harmonica produces notes that are roughly a half-step apart, while adjacent blown/sucked notes are roughly a whole step apart. I always wondered why I couldn't play any melodies on harmonicas because there would always be some notes I just couldn't find no matter how hard I tried, and now I know the answer isn't some tricky block-holes-with-your-tongue technique like I used to think.
I always knew blowing vs sucking produced different tones, but I thought that they were whole-step transpositions of each other such that any note in one modality would appear somewhere in the other.
My wife showed me this fact and when I asked where she learned it, she said she just figured it out herself...

Micah Parsons' trade isn't quite Luka Dončić level, but the heartbreak in Dallas is the same https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6582990/2025/08/28/micah-parsons-trade-luka-doncic-dallas-cowboys-mavericks/
