I definitely have a High tension Anxiety Accumulator
Tension. Anxiety. Arousal. Hyperarousal. Edgy. Distracted. Fearful.
Deep breathing. Focus on the horizon maybe?

This week I enjoyed the podcast about Godbolt’s Rule and the one with Sir Tim Berners-Lee.
You might notice more podcasts this week. Something went wrong with my link collection system recently.
I am also moving the blog … more things will go wrong.

Veganism, a thread 🧵:
Having gone vegan, I genuinely struggle now to square vegetarians' love of animals with the realities of the dairy and egg industries. For context, I grew up vegetarian and went vegan about 5 years ago now, but I realized the inherent moral tension back in college (I just wanted to do some research to ensure I wasn't losing nutrition and stuff, more on that later).

I love escalating dramatic tension, it's the only way I can reach climax
Bored 'between the years'? Then help yourself to the papers "Primordial black holes within Higgs hybrid metric-Palatini approach", "The Serendipitous Axiodilaton: A Self-Consistent Recombination-Era Solution to the Hubble Tension" and "Ω1Ω2–ΛCDM: A promising phenomenological extension of the standard model of cosmology" all out today - #Universe at an elevated level ... ;-)

Geometric Interpretation of the Redshift Evolution of H_0(z)

Abstract: Recent analyses of the Master Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) sample have revealed a mild redshift dependence in the inferred local Hubble parameter, often expressed as tilde{H}_0(z) = H_0 (1 z)^{-\alpha}, where \alpha quantifies possible departures from the standard cosmological time dilation relation. In this work, we show that such an empirical scaling can be interpreted as a purely geometric effect arising from a small, gauge-dependent normalization of cosmic time within the Robertson-Walker metric. This interpretation naturally unifies the observed redshift evolution of tilde{H}_0(z) and the corresponding deviation in SN Ia light-curve durations under a single geometric time-normalization framework. We demonstrate that this mapping leaves all background distances--linked to the Hubble radius in the general-relativistic frame--unchanged, while the apparent evolution in SN Ia luminosity distances arises from the redshift dependence of the Chandrasekhar mass. The result provides a unified and observationally consistent explanation of the mild Hubble-tension trend as a manifestation of the geometric structure of cosmic time rather than a modification of the expansion dynamics.

Seul.
Mon père, perdu dans ses souvenirs, devant la maison de ses parents qu'il avait connue il y a 60 ans. trois semaines avant qu'un méchant crabe l'emporte par surprise.
Un jour, je raconterais ce road trip de la mémoire qu'on a fait mon père et moi.

A House of Dynamite (Netflix)
is an expertly crafted political thriller about living 18 minutes from nuclear annihilation.
Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, it shares thematic DNA with two of her previous films, The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty.
The film tightens the tension in the first 18 minutes, releases it just enough to breathe, then resets and winds you up again—and then again.
There is no climax. That frustrates some viewers, but the ending makes the point: …
