How Donald Trump is weaponizing the government in his second term
President Donald Trump has been using his second term to amass and wield unprecedented power. His supporters, who once criticized government overreach, now back his actions. Trump has targeted universities, media companies, and individuals he dislikes, using executive orders and other means to push his agendas and grievances. Trump has threatened or acted against various entities. He's blocked stadium plans, revoked security clearances and dropped corruption charges for political leverage, amon…

"At root, stock buybacks are just wash-trading, the company buying its own shares to move their price, without doing anything to justify that price movement. Before Reagan legalized stock buybacks, companies returned capital to their investors through dividends. Why would companies prefer buybacks to dividends? Because corporate executives hold *tons* of shares in their employer's company, and it's *much* better for them to push those share prices higher even as they gut the company's ability to function."

Push and Pull: Elastic Interaction Between Pressurized Spherical Cavities in Nonlinear Elastic Media
Elastic interaction of pressurized spherical cavities embedded in a three-dimensional hyperelastic medium is computationally analyzed. Using finite element analysis across several positive and negative pressure scenarios, we calculate the system's potential energy and configurational driving force for neo-Hookean, Mooney-Rivlin, and Arruda-Boyce material models. Our results show that while the interaction is always attractive for negative pressures, a non-monotonic energy landscape emerges for …

Combinatorial Aspects of Elliptic Schubert Calculus
The main goal of this paper is to extend two fundamental combinatorial results in Schubert calculus on flag manifolds from equivariant cohomology and $K$-theory to equivariant elliptic cohomology. The foundations of elliptic Schubert calculus were laid in a few relatively recent papers by Rimányi, Weber, and Kumar. They include the recursive construction of elliptic Schubert classes via generalizations of the cohomology and $K$-theory push-pull operators and the study of the corresponding Dema…

Day 9: Eniko Fox
Edit: added a store link for Kitsune Tails.
We're back to videogames, and with another author who's on the fediverse: @…
Fox has developed a few games, but the one that I've played and love is Kitsune Tails. It's a sapphic romance take on Super Mario Bros. 3, and (critically for a platformer) it's got very crisp controls and runs smoothly. I think one thing a lot of indie platforms devs struggle with is getting those fundamentals right, because on the technical side they require very challenging things like optimization of your code and extremely careful input handling that go beyond the basic skills necessary to put together a game. From following her on Twitter and now the Fediverse, it's clear that Fox is a deeply competent programmer, and her games reflect that. Beyond the fundamentals, Kitsune Tails has a very sweet plot with a very cool twist in the middle, and without spoilers, that twist made both the levels and gameplay very difficult to design, but Fox rose to that challenge and put together a wonderful game. Particularly past the plot twist (but in subtle ways before it) Fox is able to build beyond SMB3 mechanics in ways that gracefully complement the original, and the movement in the game ends up being difficult but extremely satisfying, with an excellent skill/speed response allowing for both slower, easier approaches that work for a range of players and high-skill extremely-fast options for those who want to push themselves.
There have been plenty of people I follow with indie game projects that are kinda meh in the end, and I'll still boost them without much comment if they're decent. Fox' work is actually amazing, which is why if you've followed me for a while you'll know I tend to mention it periodically, and which is why she makes this list of authors I respect.
