Defence lawyer in Hockey Player Sex Assault Trial:
"She may not have initially planned a night like this, but her “inhibitions were lowered and her sexual interest was heightened.””
Tell Me I'm Wrong: the lawyer basically just argued that if you get a woman (or any unwilling partner) drunk or high enough that it ‘lowers” their inhibitions and “heightens" their sexual interest, then you can do whatever the hell you want. No regrets.
Disgusting violent-misogynist-excusing bullshit.

Looks like Doug Ford is brave enough to give an opening date for the Eglinton LRT so it might actually be happening soon.

The NetMob25 Dataset: A High-resolution Multi-layered View of Individual Mobility in Greater Paris Region
High-quality mobility data remains scarce despite growing interest from researchers and urban stakeholders in understanding individual-level movement patterns. The Netmob25 Data Challenge addresses this gap by releasing a unique GPS-based mobility dataset derived from the EMG 2023 GNSS-based mobility survey conducted in the Ile-de-France region (Greater Paris area), France. This dataset captures detailed daily mobility over a full week for 3,337 volunteer residents aged 16 to 80, collected betw…

I'm afraid this is true. I already struggle to raise enough money to keep the very talented young scientists I have working with me (from many different countries already), finding funding for more will be difficult, and why should US scientists essentially queue jump just because of their nationality ? I know that sounds harsh, I have very good US colleagues, but I have to be fair to all, regardless of where they come from. OTOH, if you are a US scientist and you are interested in exploring possibilities in Denmark, give me a shout and we'll see what we can do.

Performance of MAGIC stellar intensity interferometer and expansion to MAGIC + CTAO-LST1 stellar intensity interferometer
A new generation of optical intensity interferometers are emerging in recent years taking advantage of the existing infrastructure of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). The MAGIC SII (Stellar Intensity Interferometer) in La Palma, Spain, has been operating since its first successful measurements in 2019 and its current design allows it to operate regularly. The current setup is ready to follow up on bright optical transients, as changing from regular gamma-ray observations to SII…

At a time when strategists across Wall Street are dialing back their recession probabilities, Peter Berezin of BCA Research is doubling down.
President Donald Trump's 90-day tariff pause was enough to ease the worries of some investors,
but the chief global strategist at BCA has maintained his bearish outlook.
While Berezin has lowered his recession outlook from Liberation Day levels,
he still expects an economic slowdown to unfold this year.
"I've …
