Our students came up with a creative solution to measure a force with a smartphone and phyphox.

NEW. This is an elementary girls school in the city of Hormozgan in Iran. In the last hour, it was hit by a US/Israeli missile attack. So far, 24 young girls are confirmed dead [SOURCE: Al Jazeera]. The US has just committed a war crime. (🎥 Ary Jeay)

sewage is water with life experience. it reflects the choices we make and carries with it the residue of our yesterdays and years. it can unsettle us—until we realize it was once a part of us. our pasts make us who we are today. and can inspire us to be better tomorrow.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

I'm launching a new project on how A.I. is changing writing instruction. Professors and high school teachers -- we need your help! Please fill out this brief survey: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/u...

Listen back to In Tune !

I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across. If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers. If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.

NEW: Meta’s director of AI safety, supposedly the person at the company who is working to make sure that powerful AI tools don’t go rogue and act against human interests, had to scramble to stop an AI agent from deleting her inbox against her wishes...

"The strategic initiative has a bigger plan for us all. You’re suffering now, but if you fight through the pain and work extra hard in support of the new strategic initiative, you’ll taste the sweet afterlife of a successfully executed strategic initiative." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/int...

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

When my daughter’s school suggested she use AI to help her prep for tests, she replied “I’d rather fail than use AI.” 🙌

Because in 2012, a US District Court ruled that New Jersey common law postmortem publicity rights endure for no more than 50 years after a person’s death. Because Einstein died in 1955, the Court’s ruling means that Einstein’s publicity rights are now in the public domain. cdas.com/einstein-pub...

WHY ARE THEY ALLOWED TO USE EINSTEIN’S IMAGE LIKE THIS???? THE ESTATE SHOULD SUE

Is this bad

Incredible new motion tracking online app: phystracker.org Check out that "Analysis" tab! #iTeachPhysics

Hey! Scholars! If you're using someone's work in your class, sometimes it's nice to email them and tell them, because then they might feel good about their research instead of entirely crushed by the academic humanities' ongoing descent into the grave

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

There's so many physicists here on Blusky yet I never see any real discussion or dialogue on any physics topic despite following the physics feed and every physicist in my areas of interest. Am I missing them? What can we do to spark some physics conversations? ⚛️🧪

As the Winter Olympics draw to a close, what are the medals that the top athletes will be taking home made of? This graphic takes a look and also highlights the values of each medal: www.compoundchem.com/2026/02/22/w... #ChemSky 🧪

Um, hey so I have enjoyed your work on the current state of tech and the current admin and its subsequent horrors. As someone subscribed to you: this is childishly homophobic

pretty cool pope

I submit the following for the fifth derivative.

The parody movie about the AI bubble is going to have nowhere to go.

Student: What are you going to do on vacation Mr. Freeman, just physics stuff? Me: Oh, yeah, haha Me on vacation: Ooh @veritasium.bsky.social has a video about the Aharonov-Bohm Effect! 🎢⚛️

The thing about that "ai art is punk rock" is we've seen it before. These exact same guys a decade ago were saying Trump was the punk rock candidate, then they said crypto was punk rock, then NFT's were punk rock, that Meta was punk rock. They basically just think punk rock means Jeff Epstein.

New momentum transfer video just dropped 😊 #iTeachPhysics #Science 🧪

1. Trump was ridiculous and offensive. That's a given. 2. His tariff comments are not saying he's ignoring the Supreme Court. Anyone who tells you that is not a serious person. 3. There have always been other tariff authorities. There are, however, limits to the tariffs under those authorities.

It has been beyond endlessly frustrating for me, a former professional athlete, that not a single Dem could muster the courage to say “what the fuck is wrong with you, sports are inherently unfair to begin with, let kids play with their friends”

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

YALL TELL ME WHY THIS STEAKHOUSE PIANO PLAYER IS PLAYING THE DRY DOCKS THEME FROM SUPER MARIO 64

Importantly, for the moment, Epstein’s circle is winning. Area studies and women’s and gender studies departments are being closed and outlawed. All the structures we put in place to compel the Lee’s of the world to do the right thing even when they don’t want to are being eliminated. 🧪

@yhenryg.bsky.social Did you mean to put me on your “Women” list?

A REQUEST: I have a student who is wheelchair bound+their dream is to participate in an archaeological excavation... not a "token" desk job but for real, to dig. Their disability means they have to stay in the chair. What is out there for opportunities/adaptive aids etc? 🏺 (shared w their blessing)

Court battle over surveillance footage at the Broadview ICE detention center reaches new levels of kafkaesque absurdity: The DOJ claimed it *couldn't afford* hard drives to put video footage on. Plaintiffs bought THE US GOVERNMENT hard drives. ICE "lost" them. www.404media.co/government-l...

A fact that sounds like bullshit but is actually true: There is more square footage of parking *per car* in the US than there is square footage of housing *per person.*

These men are a threat to the long term survival of all life on earth

Hey #Physics / #ITeachPhysics / #Biophysics / #Math friends: a math colleague has a student who took complex analysis last semester and who wants to practice using the residue theorem to compute *real things* instead of random toy problems. Do you have good examples? Surprisingly, I don't ...
