Arbiter says NFL urged clubs to limit guarantees https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45577695/arbiter-nfl-urged-clubs-limit-guaranteed-deals-collude

The growth strategy, which seems to be the only tool in mainstream politicians' kit, is broken for good.

Limits to Growth was right about collapse
The only question is whether we manage degrowth or just let it happen to us. This isn’t a neutral question. I know which one of these is worse.

not an excuse, but I think a situational factor benefiting lefty candidates in NYC compared to SF is New Yorkers aren't worried about their city's economy collapsing. SF's uniquely empty downtown leads to fear of collapse leads to more conservative voting patterns

Direct Collapse pre-SMBH Objects as Ly$\alpha$ Emitters

Direct Collapse pre-SMBH Objects as Ly$α$ Emitters
Direct Collapse scenario to form the supermassive black hole (SMBH) seeds offers the most promising way to explain the origin of quasars at $z>7$. Assuming atomic primordial gas, can Ly$α$ photons escape from the central regions of the collapse and serve as a diagnostic for the detection of these pre-SMBH objects? Models assuming spherical collapse have found these photons to be trapped and destroyed. We use Ly$α$ radiation transfer within the inflow-outflow geometry, based on earlier zoom-in…

Moiré Collapse and Luttinger Liquids In Twisted Anisotropic Homobilayers
We introduce twisted anisotropic homobilayers as a distinct class of moiré systems, characterized by a distinctive ``magic angle", $θ_M$, where both the moiré unit cell and Brillouin zone collapse. Unlike conventional studies of moiré materials, which primarily focus on small lattice misalignments, we demonstrate that this moiré collapse occurs at large twist angles in generic twisted anisotropic homobilayers. The collapse angle, $θ_M$, is likely to give rise quasi-crystal behavior as wel…

The undetectable fraction of core-collapse supernovae in luminous infrared galaxies
A large fraction of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) in luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) remain undetected due to extremely high line-of-sight host galaxy dust extinction, and strong contrast between the SN and the galaxy background in the central regions of LIRGs, where the star formation is concentrated. This fraction of undetected CCSNe, unaccounted for by typical extinction corrections, is an important factor in determining CCSN rates, in particular at redshifts $z \gtrsim 1$, where LIRGs…

Sen. Padilla claps back after JD Vance calls him ‘Jose’:
‘ He knows my name'
Sen. Alex Padilla blasted the Trump administration Saturday,
-- calling it “petty and unserious”
after Vice President JD Vance referred to him as “Jose” during a news conference in Los Angeles the previous day.
“He knows my name,” Padilla said in an appearance on MSNBC on Saturday morning.
Vance visited Los Angeles on Friday for less than five hours
after several weeks o…

Sen. Padilla claps back after JD Vance calls him 'Jose': 'He knows my name'
Sen. Alex Padilla insisted the vice president knows his name, calling the misnaming a reflection of a "petty and unserious" administration. The dustup arrives as federal immigration raids continue to roil Los Angeles and surrounding communities.

Some of you ... may have decided that, this year, you're going to celebrate
it the old-fashioned way, with your family sitting around stringing
cranberries and exchanging humble, handmade gifts, like on "The Waltons".
Well, you can forget it. If everybody pulled that kind of subversive stunt,
the economy would collapse overnight. The government would have to
intervene: it would form a cabinet-level Department of Holiday Gift-Giving,
which would s…

"This improved parameter set results in a World3 simulation that shows the same overshoot and collapse mode in the coming decade as the original business as usual scenario of the LtG standard run."
