Yeah, this is not surprising…
“Airlines and Trump Administration Backpedal on Protections for Travelers With Wheelchairs”
nytimes.com/2025/06/20/travel/
Archive: …

The Transportation Department, meanwhile, has repeatedly delayed enforcing compliance with the rule, and has asked the court to pause the litigation while it reviews the rule to “ensure that it is consistent with the law,” according to a court filing. A department spokeswoman said its review would also cover administration policies and issues raised by the airlines’ lawsuit.

Airlines Challenge Protections For Travelers With Wheelchairs
A landmark rule to expand the rights of disabled air travelers has been hamstrung by a lawsuit from major airlines and delayed enforcement by the Transportation Department.

Modeling flying formations as flow-mediated matter
Collective locomotion of swimming and flying animals is fascinating in terms of individual-level fluid mechanics and group-level structure and dynamics. Here we bridge and relate these scales through a model of formation flight that views the collective as a material whose properties arise from the flow-mediated interactions among its members. We build on and revise an aerodynamic model describing how flapping flyers produce vortex wakes and how they are forced by others' wakes. While simplisti…

To the genocide-loving German from mastodon.social who reported @… for being antisemitic:
Fuck you, you genocide-loving piece of shit, opposing genocide isn’t antisemitism. What you’re doing – conflating being anti-genocide with being antisemitic – is the greatest antisemitism as you’re de facto stating that all Jews are pro-genocide.

Multi-state detection and spatial addressing in a microscope for ultracold molecules
Precise measurement of the particle number, spatial distribution and internal state is fundamental to all proposed experiments with ultracold molecules both in bulk gases and optical lattices. Here, we demonstrate in-situ detection of individual molecules in a bulk sample of 87Rb133Cs molecules. Extending techniques from atomic quantum gas microscopy, we pin the molecules in a deep two-dimensional optical lattice and, following dissociation, collect fluorescence from the constituent atoms using…

Superstudent intelligence in thermodynamics
In this short note, we report and analyze a striking event: OpenAI's large language model o3 has outwitted all students in a university exam on thermodynamics. The thermodynamics exam is a difficult hurdle for most students, where they must show that they have mastered the fundamentals of this important topic. Consequently, the failure rates are very high, A-grades are rare - and they are considered proof of the students' exceptional intellectual abilities. This is because pattern learning does…

When was the first middle-finger used to denote contempt in a (mainstream) film? I don't know but there is an instance of it in Sergio Leone's 1971 Giù la testa (Duck, You Sucker / A Fistful of Dynamite).
This was perpetrated by Rod Steiger. In this film he and James Coburn also make a solid case that Keanu Reeves' accent in Bram Stoker's Dracula was not even close to being the worst in film history.
