🚨 🚨 @amyactonoh now up 1 for Ohio Governor. Way up with independents. Let’s go! Details here: www.newsweek.com/amy-acton-ed...

Tonight I had the privilege of introducing Dr. Amy Acton, Democrat for Governor, at an event at The Happy Dog in Cleveland. If Ohioans would have been voting for Governor two days ago, she would have won.

I have a weird habit of just constantly refreshing geometry optimizations to see how they’re going #compchem

There is 3 times more #virus biomass on Earth than human biomass. There is 1,200 times more #bacteria biomass on Earth than human biomass. We still don't know what came first, viruses or bacteria aka cells. We know close to zero. We know that their symbiosis makes all life on Earth possible.

Looking up at the moon hasn’t been the same since reading Seveneves

One of the most interesting energy stories of the next 25 years will be how state regulators wind down monopoly gas utilities that have legal obligations to serve remaining customers in their exclusive service territories even as their product becomes increasingly costly, polluting, and obsolete.

Let’s go, Amy Acton! We gotta lot of rot to get out of Ohio.

My teenager is asking for "fantasy/romance novels". I know there's an embarrassment of riches in this category right now. What does bsky recommend?

Found this bolt in the grass while around town today. It is extremely lightweight. Aluminum? Interesting notches on the end too

Apple pie season is here… today’s recipe had me brushing down the crust with heavy whipping cream, something I’d not done before.

This was my first time serving as a precinct election official. It was a really long but fun day, getting to meet more of my neighbors, see the kids teachers out to vote, etc. Turnout for what many considered a "less important" election was about 2x higher than expected. Folks are motivated to vote!

Hiked Cuyahoga Falls and visited Mary Campbell cave this weekend. What a magical spot in the middle of Akron Ohio

The Worthington farmers market has always been such a wonderful space.

If you have lost SNAP benefits and live in Columbus, Ohio. Please come to the Worthington Farmer's Market on Saturday morning and visit the market management stand. We have a program to help

Almost finished reading Atwood’s Surfacing. This is one I’m going to have to re read. Fascinatingly complex in its symbology and brutally tears away at the lies we tell ourselves about who and what we are

Ok I’m committed. Tickets for the matinee of Bugonia.

Spending a lot of time getting into ensemble MLPs. Really enhances the overall power of just using a single trained MLP.

Dr Amy Acton is wonderful. Please support her campaign for Ohio governor. davidpepper.substack.com/p/ohiotime-t...

Second son just turned 21 - nice family brunch together. Good times!

There are no circumstances where human beings should be without food. There are no qualifications that make someone undeserving of access to food. If you are a human being, you should get food. I don’t care about ability, job status, legal status, or anything else. If people are hungry, feed them.

When I was at DNV I led this effort to assess gas grid “mindful decommissioning” strategies, which just released a public webinar of their methodologies and findings  mindfuldecommissioning.dnv.com/workshops.html  Cici

Despite their sleek appearance, Audrey Moores found that AI generated chemical structures on second glance were consistently incorrect, despite multiple rounds of prompt engineering.

From the University of Osaka, a carbon nanoring featuring alternating anthracene and phenylene groups (@jacs.acspublications.org). Due to ring strain, the anthracene units are bent and the molecule has a quinoidal structure. 🔗 CSD Entry ENIHES: dx.doi.org/10.5517/ccdc... #FeaturedStructureFriday

Oops I just wrote a whole python script using // to signify comments 🤦‍♂️ apparently I’ll never stop being a n00b

voted early here in Delaware county, now taking a little hike at the state park

Finally got a case for all my Star Wars unlimited cards - now to figure out the perfect way to sort them all (I fear there is no perfect way but maybe some are better than others)

One of the terrible things about the conservative elites’ attacks on higher education is that they are giving their constituents the impression that the universe isn’t big, complicated, and fascinating — that it really does take this many people to work out how even a small fraction of it works

Here’s the deal, Mike Johnson, you worked 9 days since July, make $200K, and get best free healthcare we pay for, while shutting down ours. Want it fair? Start with your paychecks. No work, no pay and no damn free healthcare for any of you. Let Congress feel the pain they dump on the rest of us.

Starting out a cool fall morning by making quiche Lorraine to take to a picnic out at Shale Hollow this afternoon

A few great evenings now spent playing Starwars Unlimited again after a little break. Getting into the Jump to Lightspeed with piloting vehicles, and a little into the Force decks. it can get a bit overwhelming when building a good deck now.

101 years ago this month, Edmund Stoner published "The Distribution of Electrons among Atomic Levels" in Phil. Mag., the first decent description of the Bohr model atom with quantum numbers--soon leading to the postulation of electron spin. #ChemSky 🧪 Read it here: www.chemteam.info/Chem-History...

Was tempted to buy the Marvel Snap gamepass this season but then Snap crashed on me twice in a row as I was deliberating over it and I’m like oh yeah, not that

The LinkedIn puzzles leaderboard really puts me in my place.

A primer for non conservative (& rotationally unconstrained) MLIPs, and how to use them safely. Thanks @aihub.org for the space! aihub.org/2025/10/10/m...

Nice

you know what probably isn't great for military readiness? turning a blind eye to violent hazing, sexual assault and bigotry, while purging leaders on the basis of race and gender.

“Median paper is mildly negative result presented as positive” sounds about right. touché

Wow signing into Facebook for the first time in … a long time was eye-opening

New read. Pretty curious to see what’s covered in here giving it’s an evolving state of the art #genai #drugdiscovery #chemsky

Maybe not yet! :-) doi.org/10.1021/acs....

Great day to be at the beach. I guess everyone else in town was watching the Ohio State game or something

I guess with MLIPs and xTB crushing it right now, I might have to change my 25+ year old user name from dftchemist to something else, or just stay the 🦕 in the room

I'll say this as a cishet man: I've never heard a valid argument against medical gender transition, because every one boils down to "I don't want my children to change." Sorry to inform the bigots, but you can't make your children stay the same forever.

The thing is, improved, more curious diagnostic practices around autism that are finding it broadly in the human population suggests to me that it's just a normal part of being human in the same way that left handedness is.

Steve Silberman is so pissed about this Tylenol bullshit that he's screaming from the afterlife he didn't even believe in. Increased rates of autism are due to testing, a broadened definition, and greater awareness. It's not vaccines. It's not Tylenol. It's like his work never happened.

Model building as a kid and teen is what ended up putting my oldest son on to a path where he is now doing his MS in naval architecture. Such a great hobby (except for the paint and glue fumes)

Rolife hobby kits are amazing. my sons have always got into model building of boats, aircraft and WH40k, but this is something my 11 yo daughter can get into with similar complexity but with more color and aesthetics
