“build a tankier tank” being the meta for Venus is a great bit In the craziness of the space race the Soviets landed 10 progressively tankier tanks on the surface with the Venera program and got less than 10 hours of surface data. Absolutely brutal atmospheremog
DAVINCI proves it can stand the heat 🔥 To prepare for its descent through Venus’ scorching atmosphere, a model of the DAVINCI probe was heated to 869 degrees Fahrenheit (465 degrees Celsius) six different times. It passed every test unscathed.

In the newest update to the Cornell 7 case, during the act, the Jane Doe allegedly stood up and yelled: “You're not men. You're boys. If there was no social media, you would be my concubines.”

Chinese Muslim Anthropologist Cyberstalking Jews On Campus Groyper
NEW: Haverford Professor Guangtian Ha has been arrested and charged with cyberstalking a Jewish colleague. Posing as a MAGA anon on X, he allegedly messaged another Haverford professor around 50 times between October 2025 and May 2026. In addition to posting vile antisemitic messages (see below), he allegedly posted his colleague’s “home address, infant child's name, a photograph of the family's mailbox, countless antisemitic slurs and threats, and reference to real-time observation of their home.” The target’s wife twice moved out of the home with their three children because they were so terrified. Ha is a member of Faculty for Justice in Palestine. He has called complaints about antisemitism on campus “Zionist witch hunts.” Originally from China, he is an associate professor of religion at Haverford who studies Islam in China. He holds a PhD in anthropology from Columbia. His dissertation is entitled, “Religion of the Father: Islam, Gender, and Politics of Ethnicity in Late Socialism.” He won the 2023 Clifford Geertz Prize in the Anthropology of Religion for his book, The Sound of Salvation: Voice, Gender, and the Sufi Mediascape in China. He is “charged with one count of cyberstalking pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2261A(2). The statutory maximum for cyberstalking is five years' imprisonment, three years of supervised release, a $250,000 fine, and a $100 special assessment.” Here are some of the messages he posted (brace yourself): “Jew, get the fuck out of my country” “Jew pig, get the fuck out of Lower Merion” “If jews are so special then they should also be placed in special camps and receive special treatments” “LM jews are going to have it big time, jew. Remember this. You scums have had it too easy. Goyim are taking America back, blood-guzzling demons.” “@[Victim 1] Eliminate the jewish cockroaches. Exterminate the jewish state. [Victim 1], you will have nowhere to go. Your family has no future in the US. Give it another 10 years, and you shall see a true holocaust.” “@[Victim 1] Fat jew, leave lower merion.” “@[Victim 1] Jew, watch your [Victim I's minor son's true name]. There shall be a sign.” After the victim took security precautions: “@[Victim 1] The goyim have woken up, jew. Run. Flee. Leave. Blurring your home on google map and installing a security camera next to your mailbox won't help.” “[Victim 1], the jewish state will stop existing, whether you like it or not, which is why as an Israeli zio jew you want to recreate america in 'iSrAeL's' image. This won't work. You and your family have no future here. Homeless dogs jews will once again become, if you do survive.” “That's right[Victim 1]The end of American jews is close. Let's start with the jews in Lower Merion. Watch out jewish nigga.” “[is] that blood, [Victim 1]? We know jews are blood-sucking demons. Only the libtard niggas [...] will protect you. But soon we are going to make sure you have no place to hide, fat rat.” “Nothing wrong to hate jews. We started to decline the moment we stopped hating, eradicating and expelling jews. Babylonians knew, the Romans knew, the Spaniards knew. American jews have been exposed. Fuck anti-Zionism. HH [i.e., “Heil Hitler”].” Haverford College has placed Ha on administrative leave and barred him from campus. His information has been wiped from the college’s website.

Mathematicians logging on to find years of their life scorched by a random tweet
We’re releasing a broad range of new mathematical results produced by an internal frontier model. We’ve been consulting with the independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at the Institute for Advanced Study, and we have drawn on their advice and public recommendations to inform how we release these results. github.com/openai/math

Once again, Thiel was completely on the mark about this, years ago.
A majority of American adults under 35 view socialism positively. Fewer than half say the same about capitalism.

Is canabilism part of the Mātauranga or do they conveniently leave that part out?
Distinguished Professor Peter Schwerdtfeger is under investigation by Massey University over five articles he co-wrote in 2023 on university funding, decolonisation, and the place of mātauranga Māori in universities. After a member of the public complained, Massey set up a panel and asked it to consider whether his articles "reflect the values of Massey University." Academic freedom exists so academics can put forward unorthodox ideas and challenge the dogma of the day. Measuring a professor's writing against the university's own values gets it exactly backwards. We've written to Massey asking why this complaint was ever sent to a panel. 🔗 Read our letter: fsu.nz/publications/letter-t…

I remember going to a talk about spintronics like a decade ago, where the presenter had great motivation to believe it could provide fairly interesting memory solutions, but the materials science was a hard problem (aside from the realistic economics of DRAM vs MRAM). Pretty neat
For decades, researchers have sought materials that sort electrons by spin while their magnetism cancels. In 3 days, 90+ Opus 5.5 agents helped us uncover two room-temperature magnetic semiconductor candidates in simulations: YBaMnFeO₅ and KV[Cr(CN)₆]. KV[Cr(CN)₆] was synthesized back in 1999. Its predicted ability to sort electrons by spin appears to have been hiding in plain sight for 27 years.

I don’t even care what Activision does at this point, the fact that they’ve saved Halo from this bullshit is reason enough to be happy
Halo Studios just shared concept art of The Endless aka “Xalanyn, children of Abaddon.” #Halo

Saying the critics got Digger wrong is the safe option, are you brave enough to realize they got Megalopolis wrong as well?
