“The birth of electromagnetism” on TikTok!

I have made another history of science video for TikTok, this time focusing on the curious story of how electromagnetism was discovered in 1820 in an experiment that is utterly unique for one really big reason: Like a lot of my TikTok videos, this represents a condensed version of a blog post I did a few years ago; if you want more detail and/or a text version of the story, here's the link!

Sure it seems bad that Trump confused Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley, but it was a simple mistake for him to make, because they're both women, and he's a Republican

Judge: “Could a president who ordered SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival who was not impeached ... be subject to criminal prosecution?”

Trump lawyer: “If he were impeached and convicted first.”

Me: "What if he assassinated Congress before impeachment?"

Turns out I've been looking for love in all the wrong places:

1. On the event horizon of a black hole

2. in the Challenger Deep

3. In the stomach of Churr-Dzin, mad cosmic titan of a thousand fingers

In memory of Jennell Jaquays, 1956-2024

I was shocked and saddened to learn this morning of the death of Jennell Jaquays, an early and groundbreaking writer for Dungeons & Dragons and other roleplaying games. Jennell had been hospitalized late last year with Guillain-Barré syndrome, and her wife Rebecca has had a GoFundMe going for the exorbitant medical costs. Donations will certainly still be needed to cover the outstanding medical costs and funeral costs.

Just learned that Jennell Jaquays passed away this morning. Jennell was a early and groundbreaking writer for Dungeons and Dragons and other games, and an all around lovely person. She will be missed.
