What shape is the universe? This question is far more intriguing and truly unresolved than any debate over the shape of our planet, despite the claims of flat-Earthers.

We occupy only a tiny space within a gigantic cosmos. Our vantage point is limited. Nevertheless, cosmologists are now fairly certain that our universe is flat.

But that doesn’t explain the exact shape of space. It could extend infinitely along the three spatial dimensions or resemble a three-dimensional generalization of a donut’s surface—or take on even wilder forms. The mathematics of flat space is astonishingly versatile, and new research is upending the traditional thinking about the layout of our cosmos. http://spklr.io/6042EMzIA

Gotta say, this is pretty funny

“So last season.”

Ads are going in NYC targeting Met Gala 2026, sponsored by billionaire predator Jeff Bezos.

The Amazon founder underpays his workers and uses the profits to help ICE target and terrorize our communities.

Every celebrity who attends Met Gala is co-signing the oligarchs' destruction of our country — put their names on a s**t list, boycott their movies and work.

Anyone siding with Trump & Bezos is your class enemy.

Truth in Advertising.

As Elon Musk has busied himself dismantling parts of the United States government, signs of discontent have stealthily appeared across London’s public-transport network. On the Tube, a fake advertisement for Tesla showed Musk doing a gesture widely received as a N**i salute alongside the company’s plummeting stock price, with the caption “Hate Doesn’t Sell. Just Ask Tesla.” Another, plastered over a bus stop, featured Musk and Donald Trump together with a Tesla, and read “Autopilot for your car. Autocrat for your country.” A different sign branded Tesla “the Swasticar,” and announced that the vehicle “Goes from 0 to 1939 in 3 Seconds.” “Now With White Power Steering,” another read.

The posters are the handiwork of the guerrilla marketing group Everyone Hates Elon, which pulled off its biggest stunt yet last week. A private donor helped them secure a Tesla, then they set up an outdoor “rage room” and invited people to smash it. Around 100 people showed up to participate. Each visitor was given around 30 seconds, a hardhat, and a sledgehammer. The remains of the car will be crushed and auctioned to raise money for food banks.

“When you’re faced with threats from people like Elon Musk and Donald Trump, and how aggressive they are with their messaging, I don’t think the same old approach really works,” one of the group’s co-founders said. “He’s the richest private citizen in the world. We can’t outspend him. We don’t own Twitter. We can’t outcompete in that sense, but we know that we’re funnier than him. He’s definitely not funny.” Anna Russell spends time with the people behind Everyone Hates Elon: https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/the-guerrilla-marketing-campaign-against-elon-musk?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=dhfacebook&utm_content=app.dashsocial.com%2Fnewyorkermag%2Flibrary%2Fmedia%2F525437170
