Mr. President. Millions have put their trust in you and, as you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God.
In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now.
There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and Independent families, some who fear for their lives.
And the people, the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry fa…

Hybrid biphoton spectrometer for time-resolved quantum spectroscopy across visible and near-infrared regions
Joint spectral measurements are a powerful tool for characterising biphoton spectral correlation, which is crucial for quantum information and communication technologies. In these applications, highly pure biphoton states are essential in any time- and frequency-mode, often obviating the need for time-resolved measurements. Conversely, spectroscopy utilising entangled photon pairs is gaining significant attention for its ability to unveil molecular dynamics, a field that critically demands time…

Okay, here's the promised follow-up with more authors I respect who didn't make it onto this list. I won't do deep dives but I'll list at least one work per author:

- Randi Pink ("Girls Like Us")
- Louisa Onomé ("Twice as Perfect")
- Emery Lee ("Meet Cute Diary")
- Robin Benway ("Far from the Tree")
- Angela Velez ("Lulu and Milagro's Search for Clarity")
Children's book authors:
- Jacqueline Davies ("Bubbles Up")
- Freya Hartas ("Slow Down in the Park")
Novelists:
- Rimma Onoseta ("How You Grow Wings")
Graphic novelists:
- Linda Medley ("Castle Waiting")
- 🖋️Magsalene Visaggio 🖌️Paulina Ganucheau ("Girlmode")

- Nahoko Uehashi ("Moribito")
- Sayo Yamamoto ("Michiko & Hatchin"; "Yuri!!! On Ice")
- Mari Okada ("Ano Hana: The Flower we Saw That Day"; "Toradora!")
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.)
- Junko Kawano ("Suikoden")
- 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")
- Janet Murray ("Hamlet on the Holodeck"l
- Susana Tosca ("A Pragmatics of Links")
- 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...

Vor 20 Jahren habe ich viel über die verkorkste Einführung von HartzIV berichtet. Dank Friedrich #Merz habe ich jetzt noch mal genauer auf das Bürgergeld geschaut. Er meint ja, der Sozialstaat sei zu teuer.
Ich habe eine Familie vor der Einschulung begleitet und geschaut, ob sie wirklich zu viel Geld bekommt.
Spoiler: Nein. Es reicht hinten und vorne nicht, sagt zB @…

Payday tomorrow. As well as now having to fund my son's train travel into sixth form college, pay into the College Fund (£75 - could be worse) and buy him some new clobber, I'm going to book tickets to see Eric Ravilious – Drawn To War, being screened in a pub in Pembridge as part of Flicks in the Sticks. The new furniture I'd like is going to have to wait but that's no great hardship.

VQArt-Bench: A semantically rich VQA Benchmark for Art and Cultural Heritage
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated significant capabilities in joint visual and linguistic tasks. However, existing Visual Question Answering (VQA) benchmarks often fail to evaluate deep semantic understanding, particularly in complex domains like visual art analysis. Confined to simple syntactic structures and surface-level attributes, these questions fail to capture the diversity and depth of human visual inquiry. This limitation incentivizes models to exploit statisti…

Das #Rezept des Tages:
Cremige #Käsesuppe – ein Genuss für #Käseliebhaber. 🧀🥣 Die Suppe wird aus geschmolzenem

Käsesuppe
Das ist eines der einfachsten Käsesuppen-Rezepte, das ich kenne. Man kommt mit ziemlich wenig Plastikverpackung aus, wenn man ein Käsestück von der Theke kauft und es selber reibt und die Sahne in der Pfandflasche kauft.

»Wer nicht mitmacht, wird es schwer haben« sagt Bärbel Bas (SPD) zur Einigung, die Repressionen weiter zu verschärfen. Statt die Verantwortung für das Verarmungsprogramm in Arbeit (!) kritisch aufzuarbeiten, Hartz IV, bleibt sich die Sozialdemokratie treu. Ein verkommener Haufen.

Distribution of non-Gaussian states in a deployed telecommunication fiber channel
Optical non-Gaussian states hold great promise as a pivotal resource for advanced optical quantum information processing and fault-tolerant long-distance quantum communication. Establishing their faithful transmission in a real-world communication channel, therefore, marks an important milestone. In this study, we experimentally demonstrate the distribution of such non-Gaussian states in a functioning telecommunication channel that connects separate buildings within the DTU campus premises. We …
