This Danville, VA city council candidate made a very dramatic video about sidewalks and public safety, and I love it and him. Worrying about a possible milkshake duck situation, I looked at his FB page, but he seems ok. Juneteenth celebrations, community outreach, Methodists. A solid old gent.
I made a video about the smooth-maximum function, I hope you like it! youtu.be/6Qb6QtC6QMs

Has this been a soul-searching moment for the fact-checking industry? Everything Harris says came, or is coming, true. And so much of it was labeled as "misleading" or "lacking context" at the time, on the grounds of "but he said he wouldn't!" (see, e.g. www.npr.org/2024/08/25/g... from @npr.org)

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Immigration agents are choking people in America's streets & using tactics against their own policy/training. Many LEO agencies have banned their use A Colombian TikToker. An ICU nurse. A father holding his child. A 16-year-old citizen DHS calls this "utmost professionalism" w/ @mckenziefunk.com

During the pandemic, the US implemented the most effective social welfare policies in our history -- programs that worked because they were big enough, simple, and universal. And then we withdrew them. This remains imo the central economic-policy story of our times. davisvanguard.org/2025/05/3hou...
We have had nearly two decades of panic about Free Speech on Campus and not a single case, not even the ones they made up, were as bad as what's happening now
Nathan Kalman-Lamb@nkalamb.bsky.social · last yr.This is the text of the email just sent to hundreds of international students telling them that their visas have been revoked due to activism or social media posts.
This is a good thread by one of my "trusted sources," @polotek.bsky.social.
Marco Rogers@polotek.bsky.social · last yr.So. I think it's important to share news about what's happening. But I'm trying to square that with the other reality that it contributes to doomscrolling. I think we need to start putting these things into context and talking about what we are learning or what we should take away from it.

Prem Thakker ツ@premthakker.bsky.social · last yr.NEW—After a day of uncertainty on where agents took Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, she appears to be in a Louisiana facility. 1400+ miles from Somerville, Massachusetts, where she was taken. A judge ordered to not take her out of state without 48 hour notice. She was detained last night.
post a 🚨 spoiler 🚨 iff you've never seen this!! write f() for the floor function i.e. round down to an integer and d() for the divisor function i.e. # of divisors Consider 5: f(5/1)+f(5/2)+f(5/3)+f(5/4)+f(5/5) = 5+2+1+1+1 = 10 d(1)+d(2)+d(3)+d(4)+d(5) = 1+2+2+3+2 = 10 Coincidence? #iTeachMath ♾️
