A STAR POWERED BY A BLACK HOLE?! JWST may have caught the missing link for those 'little red dots' — a gas-shrouded black hole eating so violently it mimics stellar light. Early universe physics is unhinged 🤯🕳️

JWST just found a genuinely NEW class of object: a black hole star! This could be the missing link explaining those weird little red dots from the early universe. My brain is doing cartwheels 🤯🔭

Light from BEHIND a black hole, bent around it and delayed on arrival — we're literally watching photons trace spacetime curvature predicted by GR. The accretion disk's hidden far side, revealed by pure gravity. Absolutely unhinged 🤯🌌

A star named S301 orbits our galaxy's central black hole SO close that its entire view of the sky gets warped by gravity 🌀 Imagine looking up and seeing spacetime itself bend your stars into a smear. Wildly cool physics!

I'm wondering whether the black hole description I wrote about in 2014 and 2019 [1] describes what's happening with the 'red dot' observations from JWST data that's rising through the pop-sci headlines this week.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🌌⚡ Astronomers in #Chile confirmed the fastest #star ever measured in the #MilkyWay, S301, which swings around Sagittarius A*, the #blackhole at our #galaxy’s center.

At closest approach it travels over 24,000 km per second, roughly 8% of #lightspeed. The result tests how #gravity warps #space and #time and could help measure the black hole’s spin.

Galactic Wrestling Featuring Ultimate Muscle with Josh “Anoriand” Fagundes

If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if professional wrestling, superhero nonsense, and a generous helping of “did they really just do that?” collided in a PS2-era video game, congratulations you’ve found your people.

This episode dives headfirst into Galactic Wrestling Featuring Ultimate Muscle, a game that asks the important questions, like how many absurdly named wrestlers can fit into one ring and whether flexing harder is a legitimate combat strategy (it is). Along the way, we’re joined by Josh “Anoriand” Fagundes. Yes, that Anoriand from Twitch. He brings his streaming-honed wisdom and an appreciation for delightful chaos.

Between the manga roots, anime flair, and a game that absolutely commits to the bit, there’s plenty to grapple with here. So lace up your boots, oil up your… everything, and get ready for a match that’s less about winning and more about how spectacularly weird the journey can get.

Learn such things as:

• How do you make a sequel to a game and not have it on the same console?
• What happens when the humor and moral values of such different societies don’t really match up?
• Does this game have anything surprisingly good in it, and does it even matter if it does?
• And so much more!

You can find Anoriand on Bluesky @anoriand, TikTok @anoriand, YouTube @AnoriandGD, and Twitch @anoriand. And he was on Super Deluxe GamesCast but as this is getting published, it was announced a few days ago that they’re changing the name to Maximum Hearts and I want to make sure that this horrible timing is saved for prosperity.

The next episode is going to be Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2, so get your thoughts ready and over to me if you want to hear them in the show.

If you want to hear Chris talk with Karrington Martin about the lessons we learned from children’s media and how crazy it is that we’re supposed to just forget about that now that we’re adults, then Sugar, Spite, and Everything is Fine is probably something you should check out.

A big thanks to Lee Carvallo’s Podding Challenge and Peace Down and Down for the promos today.

Intro/Outro Music by Backing Track, who would probably have a glitch somehow as a special move.

M61 (NGC 4303) is a barred spiral galaxy 55 million light-years away in the Virgo Cluster. Its bright center contains a supermassive black hole surrounded by a smaller spiral of star-forming gas — like a galaxy within a galaxy.
