#AbregoGarcia alleges that he lost 31 pounds in his first two weeks at #CECOT due to #malnutrition, #sleep deprivation, and #physical #abuse. His cell, shared with 20 other inmates, was overcrowded, with no mattresses, no windows, and bright lights kept on 24 hours a day. He claims #detainees were forced to kneel through the night and were #beaten if they collapsed from #exhaustion. He was denied access to a bathroom, resulting in him soiling himself.

@freyablekman "This" paper...? Thank you for your opinion, but where's the link so we can read it and think for ourselves??

Oh dear, you work at #CERN, that explains a lot. I'll be there in September. Perhaps we could have a discussion about how your expensive equipment keeps trying to find #darkmatter and failing because you worship the dogma of #physical #reality (obviously a monotheistic belief).

"Make a Move on Me" is a song recorded by singer #OliviaNewtonJohn for her eleventh studio album. #Physical (1981). It was written by #JohnFarrar and #TomSnow, and produced by the former. The follow-up #single to the number-one hit "Physical", it was released in January 1982 and peaked at number five on the US #Billboard Hot 100 that April. It also became her twelfth and final single to be certified #Gold by the #RecordingIndustryAssociationOfAmerica (RIAA). In Canada.

Day 29 🗳️⚔️

“A dispute over signage between a #Labor staffer volunteering for #Wills MP #PeterKhalil and a #MuslimVotesMatter volunteer at a pre-polling station in #Brunswick led to police being called and the activist being questioned by officers.

The dispute, along with an argument between minor party #volunteers, prompted the #Australian Electoral Commission on Saturday to note “#physical and #verbal #violence” at the pre-poll booth and to warn #candidates and their teams to treat each other with #respect.”

Regarding #Trump's recent physical...

1. Trump lies. Constantly. About everything. It's his default state of being, and is as natural as breathing to him.

2. Trump has a massive ego and also a massive inferiority complex. He needs constant fluffing and reinforcement. He has to be told he is better, handsomer, smarter, everything-er than everybody else.

Put those together, and you get:

3. The things Trump lies about more than anything else are ... himself. He cheats at golf to win tournaments at clubs he owns, so he can be "champion". He brags about first-placing in contests or comparisons that didn't happen or which don't rank participants at all. And on and on...

What's this got to do with his physical?

Well, he announced his results and it says he's 6'3" and weighs 224 pounds.

Which, if true, would mean he's 5 or 6 inches taller than me, but weighs the same. Anyone familiar with how scaling a 3D object up by linear factor X affects mass is now laughing their guts out.

He is *far* more obese than me. Of *course* he's lying about his weight. If he's less than 270 pounds I will eat my hat, and it would not surprise me in the least if he weighed 300 pounds.

So, do you want your government run by a pathetically insecure man-baby who has to lie about his weight to feel better than everyone else?

Shame on his doctor putting his signature to such bullshit.

#Trump, the oldest man to be inaugurated as president, will visit Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a #physical Friday, the first of his new admin.

Don’t expect much. In December 2015, Dr. Harold Bornstein, #Trump's personal physician, wrote a letter saying that he would be the "healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency." Bornstein told CNN in 2018 that the doctor's note he penned had been dictated to him by Trump.

Day 13 🗡️✍️🗳️

“In Australia, in a #democracy, you make your #arguments with #words, not #weapons,” he told Sunrise.

“If people want to come up to us and have a chat, they can.”

“If they don’t like us, then they might mumble something under their breath or cross the road – you never want to see the sorts of threats of #physical #violence happen, like we’ve seen #overseas.” — Member for #Blaxland

Does Australia and Australians need violence for political change? NO, thats why we vote.

Both major Political parties have “Pay to meet the Politician” programs for the largest bidders, so saying the public can chat to any Politician, especially serving members is unrealistic & patronising.

#Zoomposium with Prof. Dr. #Arieh #Ben-#Naim: “Demystifying #Entropy

Information about the person and his scientific work

In another installment of our “Zoomposium series” on the topic of #physics and its #limits, my colleague Axel Stöcker from the “Blog der großen Fragen” and I had the opportunity to interview the renowned Israeli physical chemist Prof. Dr. Arieh Ben-Naim on the exciting topic of “Demystifying Entropy”.

Arieh, who was born on July 11, 1934, held a chair in #Physical #Chemistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem for over 40 years, with his main field of research being the theory of the #structure of #water, aqueous solutions and hydrophobic-hydrophilic interactions. He was mainly concerned with theoretical and experimental aspects of the general theory of #liquids and #solutions. In recent years, he has advocated the use of #information theory to better understand and advance #statistical #mechanics and #thermodynamics.

In this context, he has also worked intensively on the question of the nature and underlying principle of the phenomenon of #entropy, which he has published in numerous often cited but also controversially discussed popular science books.

The basic tenor of all his publications and lectures is that we need a new basic understanding of the phenomenon of entropy. In Arieh's view, entropy, which originally stems from the laws of #thermodynamics and in particular the 2nd law, has been misused and incorrectly transferred as a #concept to other areas of #physics, #biology and everyday #life.

In this respect, it was finally time (bon mot) to ask the author himself about his ground-breaking theses, which cast a different light on the #phenomenon of entropy or perhaps better said, bring entropy back to its place of origin.

The interview we conducted with him is in English.
