Looky here, America
What you done done---
Let things drift
Until the riots come.
​
Now your policemen
Let your mobs run free.
I reckon you don't care
Nothing about me.
​
You tell me that Hitler
Is a mighty bad man.
I guess he took lessons
From the Ku Klux Klan.
​
You tell me Mussolini's
Got an evil heart.
Well, it mus-a been in Beaumont
That he had his start---
​
Cause everything that Hitler
And Mussolini do,
Negro…

A Category Theory Framework for Macroeconomic Modeling: The Case of Argentina's Bimonetary Economy
Traditional macroeconomic models, based on static algebraic systems, fail to capture the dynamics of a bimonetary economy like Argentina's. This paper proposes a framework based on category theory to develop a more flexible and structured model that represents the evolving relationships between key variables such as inflation expectations, interest rates, and currency demand. Using concepts like objects, morphisms, learning/forgetful functors, limits, and colimits, the model is applied to empir…

Out-of-bounds hydrodynamics in holographic anisotropic Dirac semimetals
We present a version of a strongly correlated 2+1-dimensional condensed matter system that features a thermal phase transition between a semimetal and an insulator through a semi-Dirac quantum critical region using AdS/CFT holography. We introduce backreaction into the bulk equations of motion to measure transport coefficients in the boundary; specifically the shear viscosity $η$. By explicitly breaking rotational symmetry we find a new instance of violation of the KSS-bound for the $η/s$ rat…

Sprinten, Kämpfen, Siegen: Startschuss der World Humanoid Robot Games in China
In Peking beweisen humanoide Roboter ihr Können im Laufen, Kampfsport und anderen Disziplinen. Dabei liegen Staunen und Schmunzeln manchmal nah beieinander.

Ob Plagiatsvorwürfe oder „Staatstheater“-Schlagzeilen: im Fall Brosius-Gersdorf haben Blogs inszeniert, Medien wie die FAZ verstärkt, Politik nachgegeben. Horst Schulte benennt, worum es ging: Macht, nicht Aufklärung. Der eigentliche Schaden? Ein Stück politische Kultur.

Lensing without mass: The matter density profile in cosmic voids from UNIONS
We measure the distribution of matter contained within the emptiest regions of the Universe: cosmic voids. We use the large overlap between the Ultraviolet Near-Infrared Optical Northern Survey (UNIONS) and voids identified in the LOWZ and CMASS catalogues of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) to constrain the excess surface mass density of voids using weak lensing. We present and validate a novel method for computing the Gaussian component of the conventional weak lensing covar…

2. Unilever to Ben & Jerry: This is not the Ben & Jerry's that you own.
I made up the second one, but you know someone at Unilever said that.
