Spotted on campus tonight:
What’s going on? Ritual bonfire for burning of the Bruin’s mascot. Apparently they actually do this. Then the USC marching band plays the fight song and everybody salutes, sings along in unison (rather scarily, although I was off elsewhere so could not stay to see that this year) and the drums of war begin….. The big, huge, enormous, gigantic event is Saturday. The big USC vs UCLA game across the road in the Coliseum. So big, in fact, I may well watch it.

Cosmic Variance is a group blog by people who, coincidentally or not, all happen to be physicists and astrophysicists:
Our day (and night) jobs notwithstanding, the blog is about whatever we find interesting — science, to be sure, but also arts, politics, culture, technology, academia, and miscellaneous trivia. We have similar outlooks on many things, widely disparate opinions about others, and will do our best to keep the discourse reasonably elevated.
