Real talk about rural economics, how most rural counties are run by a few wealthy local families, and how THAT explains why those parts of the map are so red.

This really makes me wonder what the European agriculture socio-political landscape actually looks like underneath all the common media narratives that are undoubtedly very distorted by people and companies with lots of money riding on it.

Is Particle Physics Dead, Dying, or Just Hard?

1 Comment

In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs bosons imbues other elementary particles with mass, making them slow down enough to assemble into atoms, which then clump together to make everything else. A couple of months later, I took a job as…

Clickbait Title: Annihilation 2: Absolution (2027) Ending Explained

I started work on this a year ago. The original script ended with a joke about touching grass, where I needed to go out into the snow and dig a little hole to find some grass to touch, and I even shot it as part of my "get hyped about the project" process. But then the Silkposting and CoD: Ghosts panels were approved for PAX East, so I had to pivot to working on those, and then I promised the final Ghosts video to PAX West as a live premiere, so Jarhead got kicked even further down the road, and then I got invited to a tour of Mr. Beast's studio which I absolutely couldn't turn down because I just could not figure out how they even got my name, so 2025 was a weird year.

I did not know there were three sequels intentionally attempting to subvert the message of the first (and being terrible in the process). I just thought the Jarhead sequal thing was a joke he used from time to time.

For the record, if you complain that I neglected cheese you're just fulfilling the stereotype.

Proof Without Content

2 Comments
There's also a proof without content of a conjecture without content, but it's left as an exercise for the reader.

Funny, but ackchyually this attempted "proof" involves setting up a context with words and a visual border, so it is not a proof "without words, pictures or content of any kind", just like how a gestalt image cannot be constructed from empty space alone.
