Neutrino masses are weird. First we thought neutrinos were massless. Then we thought they had positive mass. Then some evidence pointed to an IMAGINARY mass, which was crazy. That went away as the data got better. Now some people say evidence from cosmology points to a NEGATIVE mass. But I think this is even more crazy.
You may think Einstein said
E = mc²
but actually his theory, special relativity, says
E² = m²c⁴ + p²c²
where p is momentum. So you can measure energy and momentum and figure out the SQUARE of mass - not mass itself.
You might think mass creates gravity, but actually it's energy and momentum that create gravity, and we use the above equation to figure out mass from those.... or really the mass SQUARED.
If the mass squared is negative, you've got something with imaginary mass, which is called a tachyon. Tachyons are bad - take my word for it.
But if the mass squared is positive, the mass itself could be positive or negative. And it doesn't really matter which, since in special relativity all that matters is mass squared!
You might think we can figure out mass just by *weighing* something - that is, using gravity. But in general relativity, gravity interacts with energy and momentum. So those are what matter. We work out mass from the formula above... but actually, it only tells us mass squared.
Some new experiments in cosmology are somewhat in conflict with each other, in ways that supposedly could be explained by neutrinos with negative mass. But I don't buy it.
I could be confused. I'll think about it more....

I've been enjoying the result of putting people I especially want to hear from in a list, meaning I have a place with a much greater signal to noise ratio to scroll through when I feel like it.
The way Fedilab handles lists is kind of a trip, though. It remembers the last scroll permission, so there are new posts up in addition to older posts I hadn't read down. I click into that section and start reading and then am like, "why are these posts all from 2 days ago... Oh, right."
What part of "under no pretext" do you not understand?
Republicans are ACTUALLY trying to take the guns away from a population they are trying to genocide.
The Nazis did not implement gun control in the normal sense of the term.
They banned guns for Jewish people while enabling party members to access guns more easily.
Last Week's Meals: Ginger Pork
This was absolutely fantastic. A nice sweet glaze with salty pork, it just worked great. Well, it would have been great if I'd let the glaze reduce a lot more. I suck at judging when a sauce is ready. It was too liquidy. Still, it was tasty!

Bridgestone Brazil: Fatal Neglect?
Daniel Silva Saraiva, a 23-year-old temporary worker, died at the Faurecia automobile parts factory in São José dos Pinhais, Brazil, on August 22, 2025, after being crushed by a 1.5-ton press. The circumstances surrounding his death point to gross negligence and cost-cutting measures by Faurecia and its staffing agency, Agência Palladium.
Workers had previously reported the malfunctioning of the press that killed Saraiva, highlighting a dangerous disregard for safety protocols. This negligence directly contributed to the fatal accident. The Socialist Youth League (LJS) has condemned the incident, stating that it exposes the brutal exploitation faced by young workers in Brazil’s industrial sector, where employers prioritize profit over employee well-being.
Saraiva’s death is not an isolated incident. It reflects a broader trend of precarious labor conditions and inadequate safety measures prevalent in the Brazilian auto industry. The LJS is calling for a thorough investigation into Faurecia’s safety practices and demanding accountability for Saraiva’s preventable death. They emphasize the need for workers to organize and fight for improved safety standards and protections against exploitation.

Blair’s Gaza Stain
The article accuses Tony Blair of extensive war crimes and corruption, citing his role in the Iraq War and his personal enrichment through various business ventures after leaving office. It alleges Blair knowingly presented false information to justify the invasion of Iraq, resulting in immense suffering and instability in the region. The article further claims Blair profited from his position, amassing wealth through speaking engagements and consultancy work with authoritarian regimes, effectively monetizing his legacy of war.
The piece also criticizes Keir Starmer, the current Labour Prime Minister, for being an admirer and disciple of Blair. It suggests Starmer, by emulating Blair, is complicit in his predecessor’s alleged war crimes and perpetuates a legacy of political opportunism and disregard for international law. The article paints a bleak picture of British politics, arguing that both Blair and Starmer represent a continuity of unethical and destructive policies masked by a veneer of respectability. It implies that Starmer’s leadership will likely continue the pattern of prioritizing personal gain and geopolitical maneuvering over ethical considerations and human welfare.

Global Labor: EMEA Struggles
Workers across various sectors and countries are engaging in strikes and protests due to deteriorating economic conditions and disputes over pay and working conditions. In London, transport workers initiated strikes affecting the transport network due to disagreements over pay and conditions. Simultaneously, in Iran, oil workers at the Gachsaran Oil and Gas company and Offshore Oil Company joined escalating protests over collapsing living conditions, triggering sanctions from the UK, France, and Germany. Adding to the global unrest, lecturers at a university in Ondo State, Nigeria, commenced an indefinite strike to protest unpaid salary arrears and insufficient funding for their institution. These events collectively highlight a growing wave of labor unrest driven by economic hardship and unresolved labor disputes across different geographical locations and industries.
