I feel a little called out by this!

I still wonder if there isn’t another bijection between interval orders and ascent sequences which treats semi-orders “nicely.”

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

You can’t assert the former without the latter also being true.

I absolutely do want people thinking about what it means that white billionaires who got here without following "the rules" get to stay and scoop up federal subsidies, while poor refugees end up in an alligator swamp concentration camp.

Those are the two sides of the MAGA immigration coin.

Not that this administration cares about unintended consequences, but this just highlights the stupidity of their position on citizenship.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday.

Be reminded that Auschwitz was in Poland not Germany.....

We will likely never see the Signal chat set to disappear within 1 hour where Trump insiders were told to buy back into the market before Trump pushed send on his 90-day tariff delay post.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Important for all of us but especially journalists.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

View looking down California St in San Francisco at sunset. A trolley is coming up the hill and the Bay Bridge is visible between the buildings.

Ceiling of the Cathedral of St Mary of the Assumption in San Francisco. Light is coming through the stained glass and casting red light on the left side of the triangulated, geometric ceiling.

View of the Ferry Bullding, clock tower, and skyline by night in San Francisco from Pier 1. The Port of San Francisco sign is illuminated in red and casts a glow on the water.

Spent the weekend in San Francisco. Had a little time to go out and shoot some photos, too. Alt text will give more information on location.

How in the world do people vote for people like this?

Maternal death rate isn't as bad if you don't count Black women, GOP senator says Louisiana's Bill Cassidy said the state's maternal death rate isn't so high if you "correct our population for race," Politico reported.

This is a rather telling statement. Nearly a third of women in Louisiana are Black. www.businessinsider.com/gop-senator-...

Déjà vu all over again.

Now the whole country gets the experience of what it's like when private equity buys the place you work

a tweet: “If you wanted teachers to stand aside and let ICE take their kids, maybe you shouldn’t have conditioned them to be willing to take a bullet for them.”

A bracing essay. I don't agree with all of it but I do think the overall thesis is true: the 2024 election wasn't a populist howl against neoliberalism, but an expression of dominance by those interested in maintaining social hierarchies

Perfectly sums up the downfall of US media; one channel sucking up to the incoming regime, one channel is a joke, and the third talking about important but not urgent issues.

Because the below skeet went viral here, and people are arguing over it, I'm going to share some more info about it from a thread I did at the other place. I really need to just do an article about it but haven't done that yet. Until then, I hope readers find this thread useful. 🧵
