Kudlow: Were like, 1.5% growth...that number was...45% months ago....[as if] your stock portfolio increasing in value from $10M to $10.1M is less important than when it increased from $50 to $75. That 50% jump in value...resulted in $25, not $100,000. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/06/25/ridiculous-coronavirus-denialism-trumps-top-economic-adviser/ -

Honestly, you could have stopped that headline at "rien" and been accurate while simultaneously saving on ink. https://twitter.com/tdgch/status/1277030081475428352 -

Somebody has finally understood the most basic lessons of exponential growth. It's a start. "Texas Gov.

Serves us right. "Europe prepares to reopen to foreign travelers, but Americans dont even figure into the discussion" That said, this will greatly complicate US involvement at CERN in preparations for LHC Run 3 and upgrades. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/europe-prepares-to-reopen-to-foreign-travelers-but-americans-dont-even-figure-into-the-discussion/2020/06/26/6232dff8-b7b2-11ea-9a1d-d3db1cbe07ce_story.html -

Thrilled that our paper on the use of charm-tagged jets to probe the proton's intrinsic strange quark content, and doing so at the Electron-Ion Collider, is finally completed and up on the arXiv. This is just the start of the fun! https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.12520 https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1275589410126471172/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/65780 -

Sigh. At least the Governor seems to finally have woken up to what's going on. Still not clear what that means, though. "Coronavirus hospitalizations continue to rise in Dallas County, including a swell in ICU patients" https://www.dallasnews.com/news/public-health/2020/06/23/coronavirus-hospitalizations-continue-to-rise-in-dallas-county-including-a-swell-in-icu-patients/
