Do not be mistaken; what is happening in Charlottesville, Virginia, is terrorism. Terrorism is the use of violence to further political beliefs. If a neo-nazi running several people over, killing and injuring them, at a alt-right rally, is NOT politically motivated, then I don’t know what is.
Do not go soft on nazis. Do not make excuses for their violent actions. The driver of the vehicle was fully aware of what he was doing, and that the only outcome that could come from running into a crowd of innocent people is injuring and killing innocent people. It was intentional, it was vicious, it was a result of his radical beliefs.
LET’S NOT FORGET: THE COPS ALLOWED THIS VIOLENCE TO HAPPEN. BLACK LIVES MATTER ARE MET WITH TEAR GAS, K9’S AND RIOT POLICE WHEN THEY ORGANIZE PEACEFUL PROTESTS YET THE POLICE DON’T GIVE A SHIT WHEN A BUNCH OF LITERAL NAZIS RUN AROUND WITH TORCHES ATTACKING STUDENTS. FUCK WHITE PRIDE. FUCK THE POLICE. AND IF YOU “DON’T AGREE”, FUCK YOU.
so my dad often says “richard cranium” instead of dickhead and i just fucking realized my dad has been using the ‘me, an intellectual:’ meme for my entire fucking life

So, our physics teacher has the strange idea of motivating his students by letting each of us present a physical phenomenal we find interesting to our classmates in a 5-minutes-presentation. And now I need something that is interesting for everyone - even people that usually don't care for physics -, but has interesting facts for someone who's interested in it, too (preferably with an easy experiment). You don't happen to have any ideas, do you?
First of all, your professor is awesome for taking the time to do this. Of the top of my mind, the best one I have is Chladni figures.
Basically take a flat metal plate, fix it at the center and spray some fine sand particles on it.
Using a violin bow, gently excite any edge of the plate to magically witness these beautiful normal mode patterns ( known as Chladni patterns/figures ) forming on the plate.
Also notice that by pinching the plate at different points, the pattern obtained changes.
There is a whole lot of physics that goes behind such a simple phenomenon and I dare say we understand it completely. There are lots of questions on these figures that we have no answer for!
Hope this helps with your presentation. Have a good one!
If the American Civil Liberals Union continues to defend the fascists, they will die with the fascists
holy shit
Richard Spencer wasn’t kidding when he said they were on his side eh
They retracted and apologized for this as an inaccurate witness testimony they received, called it a “deliberate act of violence,” and the national ACLU boosted their apology, but go ahead with your attack on a civil liberties group when there’s Nazis in the streets
holy shit what a condescending ass response also aclu has in past defended literal nazis’s right to speak at places so of course people are gonna be weary of this
anyway never put this person on my dash again
theyve been defending nazis since the 70s when they took the side of neo-nazis who wanted to rally in a historically Jewish city AND THEY EVEN STATE THIS PROUDLY ON THEIR OFFICIAL WEBSITE (https://www.aclu.org/other/aclu-history-taking-stand-free-speech-skokie) so yeah, people are in their right to distrust them as an organization! It’s not like it’s unfounded at this point!
