Dzisiejsza demonstracja pod Ministerstwem Aktywów Państwowych ws. embarga na dostawy materiałów wybuchowych do USA.
18 listopada br. organizacja Palestinian Youth Movement opublikowała opracowanie, które opisało rolę naszego kraju - a konkretniej firmy Nitro-Chem z Bydgoszczy - w dostawach trotylu do produkcji broni wykorzystywanej przez Izrael w Gazie. Od ponad dekady firma ta jest czołowym producentem i eksporterem TNT w NATO i UE i odpowiada za 90% eksportu tego materiału do USA. A ten kraj z kolei wykorzystuje go do produkcji bomb i amunicji dostarczanej izraelskiej armii i wykorzystywanej w Gazie.
Cytując opracowanie: “Bez trotylu (TNT) wyprodukowanego w Polsce niemożliwa byłaby bezprecedensowa skala i intensywność bombardowań z powietrza, które pochłonęły życie dziesiątek tysięcy Palestyńczyków i zniszczyły warunki życia w Strefie Gazy”.

On Friday Oct. 10, MIT President Sally Kornbluth formally rejected the Trump administration's proposed compact in an email to the U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon.
This decision came after mounting pressure from many MIT organizations, students and faculty alike, that called on the Institute to formally reject the compact.
MIT is the first university to openly decline the compact.

Environmental Regulation of Dust and Star Formation Unveiled by Subaru Dual Narrow-band Imaging: Degree-scale Balmer Decrement Mapping across a z = 0.9 Supercluster
We present results from a dual narrow-band imaging survey targeting the CL1604 supercluster at z = 0.9 using the Subaru Telescope. By combining the NB921 filter on HSC and the NB1244 filter on SWIMS, we can detect redshifted H$α$ and H$β$ emission lines from the supercluster. This unique technique allows us to measure both star formation rates and dust extinction for a sample of 94 emission-line galaxies across the supercluster. We find that dust extinction, estimated from the Balmer decremen…

CGSim: A Simulation Framework for Large Scale Distributed Computing Environment
Large-scale distributed computing infrastructures such as the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) require comprehensive simulation tools for evaluating performance, testing new algorithms, and optimizing resource allocation strategies. However, existing simulators suffer from limited scalability, hardwired algorithms, lack of real-time monitoring, and inability to generate datasets suitable for modern machine learning approaches. We present CGSim, a simulation framework for large-scale distribu…

Game designers/programmers:
(Upon review I was pretty remiss in skipping over a few of these people, some of whom I wasn't aware of but most of whom I just didn't remember when writing my short list. Subconscious misogyny in action. Short & Thorson probably would have squeezed out some of the YA authors I included, although I have no real regrets.)

- Elizabeth LaPensée ("When Rivers Were Trails")
- Momo Pixel ("Hair Nah")
- Zoë Quinn ("Depression Quest"; narrative designer on "Solar Ash")
- Kellee Santiago ("Cloud"; "Flower")
- Tanya X. Short ("Moon Hunters")
- Kim Swift ("Portal")
- Maddy Thorson ("Celeste")
- Andi McClure @… ("Jumpman")
Note: I haven't included composers or artists here, but there's a deep bench.
Games journalists/steamers:
- Tanya DePass @… (#/INeedDiverseGames; twitch streams)
- Anita Sarkeesian (Feminist Frequency)
Game/play scholars:
- Mary Flanagan ("Critical Play")
- Tracy Fullerton ("Game Design Workshop")
- Brenda Laurel ("Toward the Design of a Computer-Based Interactive Fantasy System")

- Jichen Zhu ("Agency Play: Dimensions of Agency for Interactive Narrative Design")
- Magy Seif El Nasr ("Design patterns to guide player movement in 3D games")
- Kate Compton ("Causal Creators"; also "Spore")
P.S. upon consideration I've decided not to include any authors who are men in this coda.
There are definitely others who probably deserve to be here that I'm forgetting...

Impact of projection-induced optical selection bias on the weak lensing mass calibration of galaxy clusters
Weak gravitational lensing signals of optically identified clusters are impacted by a selection bias -- halo triaxiality and large-scale structure along the line of sight simultaneously boost the lensing signal and richness (the inferred number of galaxies associated with a cluster). As a result, a cluster sample selected by richness has a mean lensing signal higher than expected from its mean mass, and the inferred mass will be biased high. This selection bias is currently limiting the accurac…
