House Speaker Mike Johnson claimed in a post on X,
“JUST SIX MONTHS into President Trump’s second term, America is safer, stronger, and more prosperous”
—despite ample evidence to the contrary.
Meanwhile, the White House posted an absurd cartoon depicting a slimmed-down Trump with $100 bills and bald eagles flying in the air around him,
plus a nearly two-minute-long video that touted his alleged accomplishments.
But millions of Americans would disagree with those …

Six Months in, Trump Has Made American Life Immeasurably Worse
Dismantling the federal government, yanking support for poor and working-class Americans, and emboldening extremism have been among his accomplishments so far.

Machine Learning-Assisted Nano-imaging and Spectroscopy of Phase Coexistence in a Wide-Bandgap Semiconductor
Wide bandgap semiconductors with high room temperature mobilities are promising materials for high-power electronics. Stannate films provide wide bandgaps and optical transparency, although electron-phonon scattering can limit mobilities. In SrSnO3, epitaxial strain engineering stabilizes a high-mobility tetragonal phase at room temperature, resulting in a threefold increase in electron mobility among doped films. However, strain relaxation in thicker films leads to nanotextured coexistence of …

My new Sony WI-C100 in-ear headphones have a very annoying bug:
When I switch them on and they connect to my phone, they tell my phone "Hey, redial the last number you called or received a call from!"
WTF? Can you imagine how annoying that is to tell people "Sorry, I didn't call you intentionally, my headphones just do that" 🤬

Trump’s sudden announcement Saturday night that he bombed three Iranian nuclear sites has Republican skeptics of U.S. military action against Iran largely falling in line.
The prospect of strikes against Iran had sparked backlash from Democrats and days of infighting within Trump’s MAGA coalition
But after the president posted on Truth Social that the U.S. has bombed Iran,
several GOP critics cheered the strikes as a "limited action".
Several top Democrats …
