Contraction and Expansion Thermodynamics
A theoretical framework extending classical thermodynamics to account for scenarios where energy and mass are not conserved—particularly in contexts of cosmic expansion, gravitational collapse, and far‑from‑equilibrium systems. It argues that in expanding spacetimes (like our universe), energy is not globally conserved because time‑translation symmetry breaks. In contracting systems (like matter falling into a black hole), mass‑energy can appear to increase or decrease depending on the frame of reference. This framework also applies to open biological and social systems that exchange energy with their environment, where “conservation” is local and temporary. Contraction and expansion thermodynamics challenges the absolutism of conservation laws, showing they are context‑dependent.
Example: “The cosmologist used contraction and expansion thermodynamics to explain why the universe’s total energy seemed to increase over time—in an expanding spacetime, conservation laws don’t hold globally, and what looks like creation is actually a change in the geometry of the system.”

Blexas
Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.

Ratfucker
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
