'70M came to arms': Prosecutors claim first rioter inside Capitol ranted about civil war
The first person to breach the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, is being accused by federal prosecutors of regurgitating false claims and conspiracy theories about Donald Trump and other politicians in the wake of the former President's 2020 election loss. Michael Sparks has been charged with ...

Das Interessante am Wahlergebnis ist dies, nämlich der Unterschied zur eigentlichen Wahl 2021.
Das ist ein Zwischenergebnis, für die Zweitstimmen. Die Erststimmen sind so ähnlich und das Endergebnis wird sich nicht sehr unterscheiden.
Aus progressiver Perspektive ist das nicht gut.

Der Druck hat gewirkt: Auf der Bürgerstraße in Pieschen gilt nun Tempo 30! Bereits im Winter 2021 hatten mehr als 1.100 Menschen eine Petition für mehr Verkehrssicherheit vor Ort gefordert. Auf der Kreuzung mit der Oschatzer Straße war es immer wieder zu Radunfällen gekommen, zudem gab es gefährliche Überholvorgänge.

Nodal precession of a hot Jupiter transiting the edge of a late A-type star TOI-1518

Nodal precession of a hot Jupiter transiting the edge of a late A-type star TOI-1518
TOI-1518b, a hot Jupiter around a late A-type star, is one of the few planetary systems that transit the edge of the stellar surface (the impact parameter $b\sim0.9 $) among hot Jupiters around hot stars (Cabot et al. 2021). The high rotation speed of the host star ($\sim85$ km s$^{-1}$) and the nearly polar orbit of the planet ($\sim 120$ deg) may cause a nodal precession. In this study, we report the nodal precession undergone by TOI-1518\,b. This system is the fourth planetary system in whic…

Study on the accidental background of the JSNS$^2$ experiment
JSNS$^2$ (J-PARC Sterile Neutrino Search at J-PARC Spallation Neutron Source) is an experiment which searches for sterile neutrinos via the observation of $\barν_μ \to \barν_{e}$ appearance oscillations using muon decay-at-rest neutrinos. The data taking of JSNS$^2$ have been performed from 2021. In this manuscript, a study of the accidental background is presented. The rate of the accidental background is (9.29$\pm 0.39) \times 10^{-8}$ / spill with 0.75 MW beam power and comparable to the …

In the days after January 6, 2021, Trump had discredited himself with his party and stood on the brink of reputational ruin.
The House had impeached him for his coup attempt, with ten Republicans joining in.
With a small push, #McConnell likely could have mustered enough votes to convict him and disqualify the former president from holding public office again.
Instead, McConnell decid…

More inclusive and on wider sources: A Comparative Analysis of Data and Political Journalists on Twitter in Germany
Women are underrepresented in many areas of journalistic newsrooms. In this paper, we examine if this established effect continues in the new forms of journalistic communication, Social Media Networks. We used mentions, retweets, and hashtags as journalistic amplification and legitimation measures. Furthermore, we compared two groups of journalists in different stages of development: political and data journalists in Germany in 2021. Our results show that journalists regarded as women tend to f…

A spectral extremal problem on non-bipartite triangle-free graphs
A theorem of Nosal and Nikiforov states that if $G$ is a triangle-free graph with $m$ edges, then $λ(G)\le \sqrt{m}$, where the equality holds if and only if $G$ is a complete bipartite graph. A well-known spectral conjecture of Bollobás and Nikiforov [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 97 (2007)] asserts that if $G$ is a $K_{r+1}$-free graph with $m$ edges, then $λ_1^2(G) + λ_2^2(G) \le (1-\frac{1}{r})2m$. Recently, Lin, Ning and Wu [Combin. Probab. Comput. 30 (2021)] confirmed the conjecture in the…

Three big names the Philadelphia Eagles should avoid in free agency
With more than $40M available under the NFL's new salary cap, the Eagles can afford to add some big-name talent to their 2024 roster. Just not these guys. RB Austin Ekeler Ekeler’s Chargers career got off to a slow start after he went undrafted out of Western Colorado in 2017. Ekeler tallied just 1,901 yards and nine touchdowns in his first four seasons. But things changed in 2021 when he ran for 911 yards and 12 touchdowns, followed by 915 yards and 13 scores in 2022. Unfortunately, Ekelerâ€â€¦

Still Pretending To Be President, Trump Even Has An 'Envoy'
Ever since he sullenly departed from the White House in January 2021, a portion of Donald Trump’s supporters have maintained that he is actually still in charge of the “real” government and running the military while President Joe Biden is left with a fake government and a ”bad military.” That view may be deep into the land of deplorable delusions, but in a way, Trump really has been running his own government.

The causal role of the Reddit collective action on the GameStop short squeeze

The causal role of the Reddit collective action on the GameStop short squeeze
In early 2021, the stock prices of GameStop, AMC, Nokia, and BlackBerry experienced dramatic increases, triggered by short squeeze operations that have been largely attributed to Reddit's retail investors. These events showcased, for the first time, the potential of online social networks to catalyze financial collective action. How, when and to what extent Reddit users played a causal role in driving up these prices, however, remains unclear. To address these questions, we employ causal infere…

On a conjecture of Eǧecioǧlu and Iršič
In 2021, {Ö}. Eǧecioǧlu, V. Iršič introduced the concept of Fibonacci-run graph $\mathcal{R}_{n}$ as an induced subgraph of Hypercube. They conjectured that the diameter of $\mathcal{R}_{n}$ is given by $n-\lfloor(1+\frac{n}{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}-\frac{3}{4}\rfloor$. In this paper, we introduce the novel concept of distance-barriers between vertices in $\mathcal{R}_{n}$ and provide an elegant method to give lower bound for the diameter of $\mathcal{R}_{n}$ via distance-barriers. By constructin…

Discretized sum-product type problems: Energy variants and Applications
In this paper, we provide estimates for the additive discretized energy of \[\sum_{c\in C} |\{(a_1, a_2, b_1, b_2)\in A^2\times B^2: |(a_1 +cb_1) - (a_2 + cb_2)|\le δ\}|_δ,\] that depend on non-concentration conditions of the sets. Our proof follows the Guth-Katz-Zahl approach (2021) with appropriate changes along the way clarifying and optimizing many of the steps. Several applications will also be discussed.
