A look at Alan's Universe, a YouTube channel for Gen Alpha with 98.3M subscribers that releases long-form, episodic videos as viewers shift to watching on TV (New York Times)
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/arts/television/youtube-alans-universe.html

‘Alan’s Universe’ Shows What It Might Look Like to Win at YouTube
As Gen Alpha’s attention drifts from TV and movies, video creators like Alan Chikin Chow are eager to fill the void.

Bright [C II]158 μm Streamers as a Beacon for Giant Galaxy Formation in SPT2349-56 at z = 4.3: #GiantGalaxies could form just 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang: https://www.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/pressreleases/2026/forming-massive-galaxies-in-the-early-universe - new radio observations of molecular gas reveal how dozens of galaxies rapidly merge together in the early Universe.

The bot trimmed one little piece of the joke: The Restaurant at the End of the Universe was a sequel, and obviously needed to start with a recap, so the full quote is:
❝The story so far: In the beginning, the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.❞

From that well-known hotbed of leftist radicalism, the daily Bloomberg markets newsletter.

In my January 23, 2026, “The Universe” column,
I wrote about some of the biggest bangs the universe has to offer:
exploding stars, hiccupping magnetars, stellar disruptions and colliding black holes.
These all deserve deeper dives,
but perhaps black holes deserve one most of all because, technically speaking,
they do provide the deepest dive you can physically take.
They also make very big bangs indeed, with their collisions rapidly releasing almost inco…

How much energy is released when supermassive black holes collide?
The collision of supermassive black holes shakes the entire cosmos, hard

I've been meaning to ask the universe:
Q: Did anyone else think Tech would somehow return in S3 of Star Wars: The Bad Batch?
I never really thought he was gone... not until the end of the series finale when I realized he really wasn't coming back.
#StarWars #BadBatch

I'm not sure what YouTube thinks is going on in my life but I'm now getting inundated with ads for baby diapers, real actual 100% not fake women on some rental/dating app, and baby sling carriers.
The babes are cute.
And too professional.
No chaotic screaming at the universe of horrors.
Don't trust their lies.

Good Morning #Canada
Everyone knows that Canada's 243,000 km of coastline are the longest in the world. At a pace of about 20 km each day, the stroll would take 33 years. Inside of that long shoreline, did you know that Canada is divided into seven physiographic regions? We're not talking mind altering drugs but instead reference the distinct geological formation that defines the landscape. The Canadian Shield, with the oldest exposed rocks on the planet, dominates the centre of the country with stable immovable bedrock. Kinda like Toronto being the centre of the universe. Each physiographic region gives that area of our country unique features and scenery that provides us with a seemingly inexhaustible opportunity to explore. I should be writing travel brochures...

There are three schools of magic. One: State a tautology, then ring the
changes on its corollaries; that's philosophy. Two: Record many facts.
Try to find a pattern. Then make a wrong guess at the next fact; that's
science. Three: Be aware that you live in a malevolent Universe controlled
by Murphy's Law, sometimes offset by Brewster's Factor; that's engineering.

Mapping a Universe of Open Source Software
The repositories of distributions such as Debian and Nixpkgs are among the largest collections of open source (and some unfree) software. They are complex systems that connect and organize many interdependent packages. In this blog post I'll try to shed some light on them from the perspective of Nixpkgs, mostly with visualizations of its complete dependency graph.

The Curated Self as the New Delusion
There is a specific, modern anxiety that is difficult to name. It is not the dread of a specific event, but a low-grade, constant hum of disconnection. It’s the feeling of living in a world that is eerily frictionless, a world that reflects your own thoughts back at you with placid, unwavering agreement. It is the anxiety of a consensus of one; the quiet, digital loneliness of being the only person in your own universe.

The Holy Mountain (1973)
The Alchemist assembles together a group of people from all walks of life to represent the planets in the solar system. The occult adept's intention is to put his recruits through strange mystical rites and divest them of their worldly baggage before embarking on a trip to Lotus Island. There they ascend the Holy Mountain to displace the immortal gods who secretly rule the universe.

And now I need to learn wtf a "DMX Universe" is because that's what the Pico-DMX library uses and the examples are pretty terrible and I am lost.

In an alternative universe, Sharkey is the biggest fedi service and toots are called noms

J. B. S. Haldane once observed: “The universe is not only queerer than we suppose; it is queerer than we CAN suppose.”
And Haldane hadn't even HEARD of Mastodon and the Fediverse!
And THAT'S not queer at all, because he died before the Fediverse was born, and that's just how history works.

Good Morning #Canada
B.C. is full of hipsters, Alberta is oil obsessed, Ontario has a superiority complex, PEI prays to potatoes, and all Newfies drink Screech at breakfast. Every Province and Territory is known for their unique habits, culture, and views of the world. And we all hold expectations and misconceptions of our neighbours across internal borders. Hey, it's a long winter and we need some gossip to get us to the end of it.
The attached video provides a detailed rundown of stereotypes for each Province and Territory, and some of the content is accurate, like Toronto being the centre of the universe. It's a bit long but you can select a chapter to check out your Province, or one that you dislike. My favourite is Albertans pouring oil on their cereal.

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 ... ;-)

A languid spiral galaxy appears draped against deep space in a stunning new image from the European Space Agency’s Euclid telescope.
Euclid launched in 2023 on a six-year mission to map the cosmos at scale,
observing billions of galaxies stretching as far away as 10 billion light-years from Earth.
The effort could reveal how galaxies form and evolve and how the universe has expanded over its 13.8-billion-or-so-year history.

30 years ago the #HubbleDeepField was published: https://science.nasa.gov/missions/hubble/hubbles-deepest-view-of-the-universe-unveils-bewildering-galaxies-across-billions-of-years/ - other Hubble deep fields followed, and now ALMA and Webb have investigated one of them ...

In 1967, physicist Andrei Sakharov proposed a set of conditions that must be satisfied to explain the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe,
including violation of the combined charge conjugation and parity (CP) symmetry.
CP symmetry was once thought to be universally conserved,
until this view was overturned in 1964 with the discovery of CP violation in the decay of neutral kaons.
This landmark result later earned the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1…

Nobel Prize in Physics 1980
The Nobel Prize in Physics 1980 was awarded jointly to James Watson Cronin and Val Logsdon Fitch "for the discovery of violations of fundamental symmetry principles in the decay of neutral K-mesons"

marvel_partnerships: Marvel character partnerships (2018)
A network of partnerships among characters in the Marvel comic book universe. Nodes are either heroes or villains, and edges represent partnerships between such characters. The partnership network was extracted from Wikipedia pages of these characters, which indicate partnership relations with other such pages.
This network has 350 nodes and 346 edges.

So ... which simulation of the large scale structure of the #Universe is this?
(Haven't found a way to hide the solution but not the image, to make it a quiz.)
This is from the press release "Observing synapses in action" - https://www.charite.de/en/service/press_reports/artikel/detail/observing_synapses_in_action - about the paper "Dynamic nanoscale architecture of synaptic vesicle fusion in mouse hippocampal neurons", https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-67291-6 ;-)
