I wonder what inspired TIL to post this today.

Today I learned (@todayilearned@noc.social)
Attached: 1 image TIL that Palpatine being a ruthless politician dismantling a democracy to achieve supreme power was inspired by real life examples of democratic backsliding. Nixon’s presidency got Lucas to thinking about how democracies turned into dictatorships: “Democracies aren't overthrown; they're given away“. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palpatine #til #todayilearned https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1nlamby/til_that_palpatine_being_a_ruthless_politician/

Interplay of choice and topology in percolation on mediation-driven attachment networks
We investigate bond percolation on mediation-driven attachment (MDA) networks under the generalized Achlioptas process, where $M>1$ candidate bonds are sampled and the one that minimizes the resulting cluster size is selected the best-of-$M$ rule. This framework offers a systematic approach to investigate how network topology and choice mechanisms jointly shape percolation behavior. We analyze the effects of the degree exponent $ω$ and the choice parameter $M$ on the critical point $t_c$ and t…

So lustlos wie die Plakate für #nolympia an Hauptbahnhof der Hölle (der in München) vorhin waren, haben die Macher_innen entweder selbst kein Bock drauf oder irgendwer wurde wieder mit einem Wurstkorb geschmiert und die Kampagne ist eh mumpe. Aber um sicher zu gehen: keine Olympischen Spiele nirgends!

Es wäre schade, wenn dieses Gebiets-Biotop für Natur, Vereine und Naherholung durch Olympia zerstört werden würde.
