foursquare: Foursquare NYC restaurants (2012)
Two bipartite networks of users and restaurant locations in New York City on Foursquare, from 24 October 2011 to 20 February 2012. In one network, an edge denotes a check-in event of a user at a restaurant. In the other, an edge exists if a user left a tip/comment on a restaurant. Metadata include comments.
This network has 4936 nodes and 27149 edges.

My badge wall is running out of space lol not sure where I can put more though... There's a door on one side and other things on the other.

Reading about Baldur von Schirach. Sounds familiar.
“In February 1928 he became a university group leader of the National Socialist German Students' League.”
“He worked to broaden the Nazi Party's appeal to the bourgeoisie. Schirach was supported by Hitler in internal elections, who also wanted the Nazi Party to have a broad social base.”
“Schirach was skilled at bureaucratic power struggles. He founded the School Children's Leagues (Schülerbünde) to create competition to the Hitler Youth. He made an ally of Joseph Goebbels.”
“Schirach was named national youth leader of the party in 1931.”
“With Heinrich Hoffmann, Schirach produced several propaganda books of Hoffmann's photographs, including "Hitler As No One Knows Him", "Youth Around Hitler", and "Hitler in His Mountains". Schirach wrote the captions. The books sold hundreds of thousands of copies, earning Schirach and Hoffmann substantial royalties.”
“On 16 June 1932, he was made Reichsführer of the Party's Hitler Youth organization, and resigned from the Student League. Under Schirach, the Hitler Youth stewarded NSDAP events, and 21 members died in 1932. Schirach described these deaths as "blood sacrifice" for propaganda purposes. One example was Herbert Norkus, a fifteen-year-old boy who was stabbed to death by Communists. In a 31 May 1932 speech, Schirach recounted Norkus's death and called for a "National Socialist dictatorship". Schirach gave a memorial speech on the third anniversary of Norkus's death in January 1935.”

Petition of Right, (1628)
was a petition sent by the English Parliament to King Charles I,
complaining of a series of breaches of law.
The petition sought recognition of four principles:
🔸no taxation without the consent of Parliament,
🔸no imprisonment without cause,
🔸no quartering of soldiers on subjects,
🔸and no martial law in peacetime.
After dismissing his second Parliament,
Charles imposed a "forced loan", an effective tax wh…

Event Horizon Telescope Pattern Speeds in the Visibility Domain
The Event Horizon Telescope is preparing to produce time sequences of black hole images, or movies. In anticipation, we developed an autocorrelation technique to measure apparent rotational motion using the image-domain pattern speed $Ω_p$. Here, we extend this technique to the visibility domain and introduce the visibility amplitude pattern speed $Ω_{\mathrm{VA}}$. We show that in the Illinois v3 library of EHT source models, $Ω_{\mathrm{VA}}$ depends on the source inclination, black hole m…

Tidal Disruption Event Demographics in Supermassive Black Hole Binaries Over Cosmic Times
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) offer a unique probe of supermassive black hole (SMBH) demographics, but their observed rates remain difficult to reconcile with standard single-SMBH models. In this work, we use simulations of SMBH binaries, including the combined effects of eccentric Kozai-Lidov oscillations and two-body relaxation, to explore how TDE rates scale with SMBH mass and redshift. We find that binary systems exhibit increasing TDE rates with mass, in contrast to the declining trend ex…

Uspol, genocide
In case you're wondering whether "political violence" is escalating in the U.S.A. right now, of *course* it is as we move into an era of concentration campus and domestic military deployments. But both domestic genocides and purges as well as political violence targeted at individual prominent figures has been a *constant* throughout American history, from gun duels fought between political rivals to massacres of Native Americans in order to steal their land, to pogroms against Catholics, to literal wars on local Black success and political participation, all dating back before the American Revolution to the beginning of colonization. Thanks to Wikipedia, here's a *small sampling* where I attempted to whittle things down to about one event per decade before recent times.

I've been mainly running NixOS, with my spin on Cosmic, for the last week. Had the automated system update this morning. That has been the biggest event happening so far.
This combo, based by me on the Nixbook project, is absolutely rocksolid.
Look for it @ codeberg / thesaigoneer / cosmix-saigon. Kudos to all involved!
And yes, that includes yours truly 😜

Measurement of the cosmic-ray energy spectrum above 2.5 EeV using 19 years of operation of the Pierre Auger Observatory
We present the spectrum of cosmic rays with energies above 2.5 EeV measured at the Pierre Auger Observatory after 19 years of operation, covering the period before the AugerPrime upgrade. Two independent event sets from the surface array of 1500 m-spaced detectors are combined, yielding a total exposure of approximately 100,000 km$^2$ sr yr. The first set includes events with zenith angles less than 60$^\circ$, while the second consists of events between 60$^\circ$ and 80$^\circ$, for which azi…
