The Helmholtz decomposition is one of the fundamental results of vector calculus. It says any well-behaved vector field can be split into two parts, one capturing sources and sinks through divergence, and one capturing rotation through curl.

Bacteria move around using a molecular machine called the flagellar motor that rotates faster than the flywheel of a race car engine and switches directions in an instant. After 50 yrs, scientists have finally figured out how it works. “My lifelong quest is now fulfilled.” Link⤵️

The most f*cked up aspect of this is the "DoorDash grandma" t-shirt she's wearing, and the implications of this: I checked and this is a pre-organized PR stunt between DoorDash and the White House (they boast about it on their website: about.doordash.com/en-us/new…). The lady - Sharon Simmons, "a grandmother of ten" who has "completed more than 14,000 deliveries" - isn't even from DC, they brought her over from Arkansas as a prop for this. Think about just how uniquely rotten things need to be in order for this to happen. She is literally a grandmother relying on gig work because she can't afford healthcare for her husband's stage-3 cancer. She doesn't even get paid a living wage and needs to rely on tips. And as an "independent contractor," she gets no benefits, no healthcare, no retirement. Which means she is an almost perfect illustration of the failure of the American social contract on almost every level: healthcare, labor rights, retirement, wages, etc. Any decent human being looking at her story - let alone policymakers - should feel only one thing: shame. Yet DoorDash and the White House looked at this woman and saw a photo op. They flew her from Arkansas, branded her "DoorDash grandma" and used her as a mascot for a tax tweak - no tax on tips - that wouldn't even begin to cover her husband's chemo sessions. Watching the actual video of her "delivery" to Trump (pbs.org/newshour/politics/wa…) is almost unreal. Trump opens up by saying, smiling at the camera, "who says it looks staged? It doesn't." They immediately proceed to do a joint press conference to a bunch of journalists who were conveniently standing right there. None of the questions that follow during the next 15 minutes are related to Simmons' situation who just stands there. Journalists, the President, and cameras all obsessing over culture wars and the actual war in Iran, while the walking embodiment of the country's deepest structural failures - healthcare, labor, retirement - stands silently in a corporate t-shirt, unmentioned and too uncomfortable to confront.
Sharon Simmons, the DoorDash grandma who was just part of a Trump photo op at the White House, says on Fox News that "no tax on tips" helped her because she couldn't afford her husband's cancer treatments

In the West, you see Israel through the prism of their unrelenting mendacious propaganda. On the ground, you see it in its raw form: a vindictive, bitter, vicious, ungrateful, unreliable, perfidious, and, mainly, bloodthirsty terrorist state. Enough, no?
In 10 minutes, Israel bombed 100 targets in Lebanon, including schools with displaced civilians, health centers and even a funeral. The areas hit were supposedly “safe”. Thousands of casualties. Thousands. In 10 minutes. This is how Israel makes up for its failures. With blood.

Justo hoy, Netanyahu lanza su ataque más duro contra el Líbano desde que empezó la ofensiva. Su desprecio por la vida y el derecho internacional es intolerable. Toca hablar claro: - Líbano debe formar parte del alto al fuego. - La comunidad internacional debe condenar esta nueva violación del derecho internacional. - La Unión Europea debe suspender su Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel. - Y no debe haber impunidad ante estos actos criminales.

This picture is enough to draw the shape of the magnetic field lines of the planet. Can you do it?

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

4 people are in there with hopes, dreams, risk and the unknown. It makes me breathless, knowing how they're feeling and what they're facing. So exciting to see what we're capable of when we work together in common purpose, deciding to push back the edges of our collective ignorance. Have a great voyage, crew of @NASAArtemis!

The crazy, beautiful thin line of air between us and space. Living in orbit I would often look to Earth's horizon, marvelling at how bizarrely thin our atmosphere is. Half of all air is in the first 3 mi/5 km. A common running distance. Sometimes big thunderheads were visible, pushing to the edge of the stratosphere. Above that, the coloured aura of the mesosphere, and then eternal empty blackness. Lit by an occasional star, like a small lightbulb in a vast darkened hall. Let's appreciate and take responsibility for our planet.

Imagine - a bird crashing through the windscreen of your airplane into your face, taking out your left eye. And then being able to turn your head to deflect the blood in the roaring wind, and safely land. This man, my friend Syd Burrows, did just that. After the accident he changed his callsign to Cyclops and flew a full career. Syd passed away today at 95. He was proud to be the inspiration for the main character in my Apollo Murders thriller series. A long, beloved, good life, well-lived. Ad Astra, Syd. jalbrecht.ca/2.php?a=2&p=10

To tempt the US and Israel, they should probably do inflatable schools and hospitals too...
Chinese inflatable fake weapons with heat signature. Can the fool missiles and drones?

Truly the most unabashedly dumb government in history. (there are of course no penguins in Greenland or anywhere near the North Pole, they're exclusively a Southern Hemisphere bird)
Be a warrior, embrace the penguin.

Irán existe y Palestina también. Ni una sola mención sobre los derechos humanos de niños y niñas, población civil en general, reporteros y médicos asesinados en dobles ataques sobre hospitales y la demolición brutal de Gaza. Ni siquiera Hind Rajab y su familia mencionados antes.
Narges Mohammadi, Premio Nobel de la Paz en 2023, fue arrestada el 12 de diciembre y hoy cumple 37 días en prisión. Narges ha dedicado su vida a la defensa de la igualdad, la justicia y los derechos de las mujeres, y ha pagado un altísimo precio por su compromiso con la libertad. Su voz se ha convertido en un símbolo de fortaleza para quienes en Irán y en todo el mundo resisten la represión y el silencio impuesto por regímenes totalitarios. Toda mi solidaridad y respeto para Narges, su familia y los presos políticos que hoy sufren persecución por alzar su voz. Abogo por su liberación inmediata e incondicional, el respeto a su integridad física y moral, y el pleno reconocimiento de sus derechos fundamentales. Las causas justas trascienden fronteras y unen a quienes creemos en la dignidad humana. Desde Venezuela, y desde cada rincón del mundo libre, reafirmamos que la lucha por los derechos humanos es una sola y que ninguna dictadura logrará apagarla. Narges, no estás sola. Tu coraje inspira a millones en todo el mundo. La justicia y la libertad triunfarán en Irán y en Venezuela.

Regalar un Nobel no es un gesto noble. Es una señal. Y la señal que se manda cuando entregas tu mayor símbolo moral a un político poderoso no es de dignidad, es de dependencia. El Nobel no se ofrece: se sostiene. Cuando se convierte en obsequio, deja de ser principio y se vuelve moneda. No importa que jurídicamente no se “transfiera” el premio. Lo que cuenta es el mensaje político: “necesito tu aval, necesito tu foto, necesito tu respaldo”. Eso no es liderazgo democrático, es súplica envuelta en épica. Y cuando una causa justa se presenta así, pierde fuerza, pierde autonomía y pierde autoridad.

Un contrapunteo de jalabolismo. El "gobierno" y su oposición (reflección especular) igual de malos como siempre.
Not sure what is more shameful: Maria Corina Machado giving Trump her Nobel Peace Prize or Delcy Rodriguez meeting with CIA Director John Ratcliffe in Miraflores (Caracas) days after they bombed Venezuela. nytimes.com/2026/01/16/us/po…

Totally bonkers this present time.
Genuinely beyond satire: "Nobel Peace Prize winner gives her medal to U.S. President to thank him for bombing her country" The Trump presidency is basically a dare to put The Onion out of business.
