Wanted: a separate display device to sit under my TV and do nothing but show subtitles.
I guess this isn't easy. The subtitle data isn't in the HDMI output from your streaming device. That's too bad, it'd be relatively straightforward if it was. Could still hack something up but it'd involve customizing the streaming source.

It’s Official: Streaming Is Now the King of TV
In May, more Americans watched television on streaming than on cable and network television combined, Nielsen said. It is the first time that has happened over a full month.

This short paper gets deep in the weeds of a particular kind of physics, he is sharing a rare example where we were able to both reduce a system and then construct the aggregate behavior. But the broad systems conclusion is what's interesting.
The arrogance of the particle physicist and his intensive research may be behind us (the discoverer of the positron said "the rest is chemistry"), but we have yet to recover from that of some molecular biologists, who seem determined to try to reduce everything about the human organism to "only" chemistry, from the common cold and ailmental disease to the religious instinct. Surely there are more levels of organization between human ethology and DNA than there are between DNA and quantum electrodynamics, and each level can require a whole new conceptual structure.

A Compact Cycle Formulation for the Multiperiodic Event Scheduling Problem
The Periodic Event Scheduling Problem (PESP) is a fundamental model in periodic timetabling for public transport systems, assuming a common period across all events. However, real-world networks often feature heterogeneous service frequencies. This paper studies the Multiperiodic Event Scheduling Problem (MPESP), a generalization of PESP that allows each event to recur at its own individual period. While more expressive, MPESP presents new modeling challenges due to the loss of a global period.…

Imaging valence electron rearrangement in a chemical reaction using hard X-ray scattering
We have observed the signatures of valence electron rearrangement in photoexcited ammonia using ultrafast hard X-ray scattering. Time-resolved X-ray scattering is a powerful tool for imaging structural dynamics in molecules because of the strong scattering from the core electrons localized near each nucleus. Such core-electron contributions generally dominate the differential scattering signal, masking any signatures of rearrangement in the chemically important valence electrons. Ammonia repres…
