"Trump is telling the same lies that every wave of migrants who came to the United States has always been subjected to," he said. "When the Jews came, when the Germans came, when the Italians came. Irish. We were told the same thing, lose our culture, lose our language, drive down wages, and the crime will go up. And exactly the opposite has happened."

'It's a loser': Republican strategist torches Trump's latest 'inhumane' argument
Longtime Republican strategist Rick Tyler slammed former President Donald Trump's anti-immigrant vision for the future in an MSNBC panel on Wednesday, following a political event in Michigan the previous day in which Trump warned that immigrants would invade people's houses if he's not elected.In pa...

Family is sleeping, I read the #GhostTownLiving book that arrived yesterday ☺️
Been following Brent’s story almost since the start 4 years ago, when my wife and me sat at home without anything to do but checking on our newborn and reading news about Corona.
It helped me to let my thoughts travel from all the misery of that time.
Still looking forward to each new video he pos…

A leading gravitational wave observatory recently detected ripples in spacetime that scientists say came from the collision of a dead, superdense stellar remnant and an unknown object.
LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detected a unique gravitational wave signal in May 2023, just days after the observatory resumed operations following some upgrades that reduced the amount of noise in the detector.
The signal is dubbed GW230529 for short.
The gravitational wave signal travelled 650 million…

I am loving the story of Road & Track taking down a fantastic article on Formula 1 and failing to provide any suitable explanation for doing so. The article is a wonderful piece of sports journalism, and if the aim is to expand the audience for F1, it achieves its goal. Road & Track is now experiencing the Streisand Effect in full. Anyway, I recommend reading the article (which is on the Internet Archive of course):

Behind F1's Velvet Curtain
If you wanted to turn someone into a socialist you could do it in about an hour by taking them for a spin around the paddock of a Formula 1 race. The kind of money I saw will haunt me forever.

Neutron Star Mergers as the Dominant Contributor to the Production of Heavy $r$-Process Elements
The discovery of the radioactively powered kilonova AT2017gfo, associated with the short-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 170817A and the gravitational wave source GW170817, has provided the first direct evidence supporting binary neutron star mergers as crucial astrophysical sites for the synthesis of heavy elements beyond iron through $r$-process nucleosysthesis in the universe. However, recent identifications of kilonovae following long-duration gamma-ray bursts, such as GRB 211211A and GRB 2303…

Kilonova evolution -- the rapid emergence of spectral features
Kilonovae (KNe) are one of the fastest types of optical transients known, cooling rapidly in the first few days following their neutron-star merger origin. We show here that KN spectral features go through rapid recombination transitions, with features due to elements in the new ionisation state emerging quickly. Due to time-delay effects of the rapidly-expanding KN, a 'wave' of these new features passing though the ejecta is a detectable phenomenon. In particular, isolated line features will e…
