I like my individualized mail addresses. I just received a phishing mail to update my data with a Swiss payment system (TWINT) - but it was sent to an address I created for a doctor's appointment system (Onedoc).
The message also contains my postal address from the time I created that account.

Happy for Zach Cregger and the cast and crew of Weapons for its massive box office success, and I don't usually like to say negative things about art. But I got ahold of a copy of Weapons, and just like Barbarian, I'm not impressed. ALSO just like Barbarian, this fucker is in MASSIVE need of editing. It's going nowhere slowly. Why can't people edit their films lately? I'm like, over an hour in and it's pretty sparse, man 😂 Suspense is one thing, but when it builds to…

All-optical polarization control in time-varying low-index films via plasma symmetry breaking
Controlling the polarization state of light with sub-picosecond speed and subwavelength precision remains a key challenge for next-generation nanophotonic devices. Conventional methods such as birefringent crystals, liquid crystals, or electro-optic Pockels cells are limited in speed, compactness, and energy efficiency. While structured materials and two-dimensional heterostructures offer potential for on-chip ultrafast performance, achieving all-optical control remains an open problem. Here we…

Jane Fonda is joining forces with more than 500 celebrities and Hollywood heavyweights to defend free speech.
The membership roll already includes scores of famous actors like Jamie Lee Curtis, Viola Davis, Whoopi Goldberg, Pedro Pascal, Natalie Portman and Michael Keaton.
Successful directors like Spike Lee and Ben Stiller have signed on, along with singer and actress Barbra Streisand and pop star and songwriter Billie Eilish.
Fonda, a star who has championed progressive cau…

Jane Fonda, other stars, revive the Committee for the First Amendment – a group that emerged when the anti-communist panic came for Hollywood
Even after the original group fizzled, many of its members were able to keep making films with progressive messages.

Spin-to-charge-current conversion in altermagnetic candidate RuO$_2$ probed by terahertz emission spectroscopy
Using the THz emission spectroscopy, we investigate ultrafast spin-to-charge current conversion in epitaxial thin films of the altermagnetic candidate RuO$_2$. We perform a quantitative analysis of competing effects that can contribute to the measured anisotropic THz emission. These include the anisotropic inverse spin splitter and spin Hall effects in RuO$_2$, the anisotropic conductivity of RuO$_2$, and the birefringence of the TiO$_2$ substrate. We observe that the leading contribution to th…

So @… posted his top 10 favorite movies, and I briefly cobbled together a list of what currently approximate my top 10 favorites. These stick with me.
Fair warning, and I'm aware that a couple of these films are stupid as fuck, but that doesn't stop me from loving them. 😂
Pink Flamingos
Total Recall
Conan the Barbarian
They Liv…
