Today, the greatest threat to the freedom of speech and of information in the West is Zionism. Not woke, not Islam.
The minute the American public starts turning against Israel and the US financing of that country, the world's richest and most fanatical pro-Israel billionaires start buying up large media outlets and TikTok, then install Bari Weiss and an ex-IDF soldier to control content:

The contrast with the Kallosh-Linde paper of today, couldn't be any bigger. ( https://t.co/ffux80VpC8)

The textbook N=1 supergravity has an F-term potential depending on a superpotential $W(z_i)$ and a Kahler potential $K(z^i, \bar z^{\bar i})$, with the scalar potential $V(z^i, \bar z^{\bar...

Fair question. What do we learn from gravitational waves? The form of the chirp signal is well understood from Genearl Relativity. 1/
@WKCosmo So it fits and is amazing, but what else can be learned from it going forward? I'm curious, not criticizing ... The information content in that type of signal is low.

More than 20 Palestinian civilians murdered today by IDF terrorists. Similarly, more than 20 Ukrainian civilians murdered. With the first aggressor the West collaborates closely and only the second is boycotted. Yet "freedom shouters" only go beserk over boycotting the first.

Rabiate zionisten zoals @mboudry beweren sinds lang dat Israรซl perfect in staat was geweest รกlle Palestijnen in Gaza te vermoorden. Dat dat niet is gebeurd zou volgens hen bewijzen dat er van genocidale intenties geen sprake kan zijn. Deze interviewer wuift dat argument terecht
Deputy mayor of Beer Sheva regrets that the genocide wasn't total: "We had a golden opportunity to wipe out this thing called Gaza. Kill them 100-150 thousand every day". Interviewer: "The world would not have allowed it. You're naive". "Disagreement" in Israeli media.

Supporting colonial regimes and allowing mostly minus conventions in physics books
What is the biggest moral blind spot of our era, the thing future generations will judge us for?

At the turn of the century, it sounded as if string theory could give us big answers about the universe. Wellโฆ has it?

Perhaps the letter font size gets bigger, but Lenny Susskind is still as committed to understanding Nature as he was in his young days. I can only hope to have this drive and curiosity at 85. (I am sure it also keeps you sharp.) #Respect. https://t.co/8Mt8mgBmBC

Extra conjecture : the one paper establishing a stringy de Sitter will self collapse into a black hole before its finished as it would violate the covariant entropy bound.
Conjecture: this paper will find no referee https://t.co/BRpyTaQ9CN

Good, there will be accompanying papers for the actual details: "Comments: 506 pages, 50 pdf figures; This is not a review article, sorry. For the benefit of the readers, detailed proofs of all the equations appearing here will be presented in two sets of companion papers"

A prize for a very effective physicist!
Congratulations to my advisor, John Donoghue, on receiving the 2026 J.J. Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics! I am proud to be his student. I would also like to thank my fellow co-nominators who helped to make this happen.

Migrants are not a root cause of crime, but poverty is. New Yorkers have shown they understand this and that they can see through the extreme right wing lies.
