It is ironically *only when* I learned, too late in my education to change anything, that real math has fuck all to do with numbers, that I realized I liked math Like solving a puzzle!
Micah@rincewind.run · 3h agoas a kid I liked math and thought I was good at it and then I got to college and learned that real math is contemptuous of numbers and it confuses and terrifies me
This amuses me because I've long lamented that the beautiful and interesting Actual Math is locked away from people because learning calculation comes first and that's very dull and offputting unless you're a very particular weirdo. Discrete and abstract math courses are so fucking cool.

I lucked out and learned early that numbers were fake and honestly that made me love math more ✨

I'd love to hear El-Sayed sprinkle in an "Inshallah and the creek don't rise" just to watch some heads explode.
This has been studied quite a bit, the solar panels create a sort of greenhouse effect for the plants underneath them while also generating energy which feels like it should be cheating but is real and literally only has upsides.

Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social · yesterdaySusan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
Gonna go out on a limb here and say racist cranks who write for extremist white nationalist websites like VDARE should not, in fact, be confirmed to top roles in the Department of Justice.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 13h agoSCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it?

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
aipac's approach to el-sayed vs. platner is really telling. much, much more energy for fighting el-sayed, the guy who did not have a nazi tattoo. but who is muslim.
i think el-sayed winning the michigan senate primary will permanently break the brains that were being held together by string since mamdani

Wow! @menendez.house.gov says that the EXACT scenario I flagged two months ago, where ICE "releases" someone having a medical emergency solely so their death won't be recorded as occurring while in custody, happened last month at the infamous Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ.
Matt Shuham@mattshuham.bsky.social · yesterdayDays before the death of Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo, ICE officials did not report the death of another man who’d been detained at Delaney Hall — because they had technically “released” him in the middle of a medical emergency, Rep.

The “best” thing about genAI (the quotes are doing heavy work here) is that it’s really lowered the bar on getting into hand-made art. Literally anything you make is better than ai. There’s never been a better time to throw away your fear and start learning that craft you’ve always wanted to learn.
