Pffft. That’s nothing! Hey, I authorize U.S. hedge fund to invest a minimum of $100 Million dollars in my personal company, lemmyposting.io. A minimum!

Okay? So step back Pooty-poot, those hedge funds gotta some quality goods to invest in right here first!

Because look: Frankly, it’s not enough to have spent my childhood wanting for nothing due to my father’s massive wealth, to have struck it rich off of a fairly dull money-transfer service idea that I didn’t even come up with, to have alienated and berated everyone I’ve ever worked with, to lie repeatedly that I was the original founder of Tesla, to amass enormous wealth off of taxpayer-funded subsidies while insisting that I’m self-made, to wield my influence and inane ideas for unworkable projects to prevent actual functional improvements in multiple cities, to receive uncritical adulation from the fawning business and tech presses, to foster a repressive and even racist workplace in my factories replete with numerous labor violations, all in the name of making cars that don’t even really fucking work—no. It’s not enough. What I desperately, desperately need is for you to think that I’m cool and funny. I need this. Please give me that satisfaction.

I brutally tortured some monkeys for literally no reason, for Christ’s sake! That’s so cool! Doesn’t that count for anything?

I’m cool. You know I’m cool.

Please.

. . . It almost makes me wonder why the hell I continue subjecting myself to this.

Oh, right—it’s that I’m hopelessly in need of your approval. Me, a 50-year-old man with the net worth of a decent-size country, forced to stoop to bizarre and pathetic stunts for attention. Either that, or cultivating a personal brand of eccentricity generates publicity and financial support that I can then leverage to distract from my essentially fraudulent business endeavors. Yes, it’s one of those two things for sure.

Well . . . at least we have TheOnion back. That’s something.

Yeah it’s A LOT like that.

Just like it was the first time around.

That’s seriously cruel.

Yes. Here.

What’s a Time Crystal?

To understand time crystals, imagine regular crystals like diamonds or quartz. These are beautifully structured because their atoms repeat in precise, organized patterns in space.

On the other hand, doesn’t time crystal repeat patterns in space—it ticks in a consistent rhythm over time, combining the three dimensions of space with the fourth dimension: time.

Breaking New Ground: The Time Quasicrystal

Time crystals aren’t new—they were first created in 2016. But the WashU team took things further, building a “time quasicrystal.” Unlike regular time crystals, which tick with one predictable rhythm, time quasicrystals produce multiple frequencies, like playing a chord instead of a single note.

How They Did It?

Okay, uh, I don’t know what’s going on here but no.

I actually wondered that at the time simply because whenever a new person discovers the horrors of HP printers people in the comments are always boosting Brother printers.

Like, if Canon had been accused of bricking third-party printer ink I’m not sure it would have made the feed.

However, uncertainty over Trump’s stance on defense treaties has raised concerns.

That’s just excellent work republiQans. You’ve destabilized everything. Kudos.

Newsom even slobbered to Kirk that his own 13-year-old son is one of his fans, and admired Kirk for that, instead of chewing out his lying ass for pied-pipering his son’s brain with hateful rhetoric encouraging children to be bullies. “We’re getting clobbered,” Newsom said at one point, and “you’ve figured something out.”

Gavin Newsom, you are doing a shit job of fathering. Has Newsom never given his son a man-to-man about to hategasming scammers like Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon? I would not publicly admit to that level of parenting failure for a million bucks. Has Newsom been bitten by the right-wing brain slug himself?

And it was Newsom’s show. Why did he let Kirk do the framing? Kirk didn’t even wait a day before getting back on his song-and-dance blaming Newsom for “ruining” California, and right wingers mocked Newsom’s weird hand-flapping.

until they encourage her to disperse in September or October.

Back in Ye Olden Tymes, I took a course in which we were shown a film about communications in animals. In the film, an orca mother was separated from her calf and swam around bonking her head on the walls of the tank.

I shit thee not, the film asked the question, “what could the animal be doing?” And no, gentle reader, it was not asked ironically. Afterwards the professor professed that animals do not communicate as we do, and there are good reasons to believe they do not have the emotions we do.

Reader, I say unto y’all, that be some bullshit. But apparently the group mind is still not up to speed such that science showing fish have preferences is considered headline-making.
