every single psycho thing Donald Trump does he does only because almost every single federally elected Republican has chosen unilaterally, independently, and with complete freedom to go along with it unconditionally

I started doing something similar for homework extensions. First time no questions. Second time, we need to meet to chat about why it’s happening, and to see if there is some issue that needs to be addressed. Sometimes it’s a one off thing that’s not likely to reoccur, but if they’re..:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

How much of a role does having a sycophantic AI to which you outsource your critical thinking play in deciding to go to war?

Dean W. Ball Y @deanwball X.com Think about the power Hegseth is asserting here. He is claiming that the DoD can force all contractors to stop doing business of any kind with arbitrary other companies. In other words, every operating system vendor, every manufacturer of hardware, every hyperscaler, every type of firm the DoD contracts with—all their services and products can be denied to any economic actor at will by the Secretary of War. This is obviously a psychotic power grab. It is almost surely illegal, but the message it sends is that the United States Government is a completely unreliable partner for any kind of business. The damage done to our business environment is profound. No amount of deregulatory vibes sent by this administration matters compared to this arson.

NYC here I come. Till Monday.

Appearing/performing at MoMath (twice, Fri eve and Sun at 2pm) and at Stony Brook (Sat at 12 noon) @momath.bsky.social

Hope to see many of you soon.

I hope to find time to share a longer thought about this later, but for now I'll just say two things:

1️⃣ While I may not comment on the NY-07 specifically, I think everything Peter wrote about the RAC's structure is accurate.

2️⃣ SFAIK, Peter is the first and so far only journalist to get it right.

Facts need a story.

Part of telling that story is deciding which facts to include, which to highlight, and which to ignore.

The truth can be gerrymandered by how you divide up the facts.

How Orbán systematically suffocated the Hungarian media over the past 15 years Viktor Orbán has also pledged, in his annual address earlier this month, to “clear out” after the April elections media and civil society organisations deemed to threaten “sovereignty.” Fidesz already...

this is the very obvious game plan, and if you're reading journalism that doesn't at least hint at the possibility, you're not reading journalism at all:

Learning a second language can be hard. Signing up for Pre-K and 3-K is easy.

Amazing job!

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

Abstract mathematical code-generated art: Colorful meandering blurry lines on black background. Created with C code using only default operating system tools, by elkement 2026.

I was asking myself: Could I create mathematical art using just the bare minimum of tools that usually come with an operating system? (No python, no JS, no frameworks.)

No art recently, I'm in Minneapolis and the stress from the occupation is awful. Nothing has changed here except that the news media have left and word about what hell ICE are putting us through isn't getting out now: it is the same, families are still in hiding, ICE are still kidnapping people.

If you haven't yet changed how you teach and evaluate thanks to AI, you probably need to. This is not something that educators asked to happen, but it is worth noting what is out there - in this case an OpenClaw tool designed to cheat.

The #blizzardof2026 has begun.

I vibe-coded a web app that allows you to walk around on the surface of a gyroid.

It's just as disorienting as you'd expect.

Some day we'll all regret this & we'll hold hearings & rend garments & pledge "never again" & we'll be just as full of shit as we were last time.

Something simple would be to create 1000s of mini-links (using a site like bit.ly) that all redirect to the same video. It doesn't stop people from sharing the final url but if they share the short link or forward an email with the short link you would know how many times each link was used.

Yay snow!
