This is indeed gorgeous and worth a read!

The new @desmos.com notebook tool looks like it could be very powerful. More importantly, it looks like it will be lots of fun to play with. #iTeachMath youtu.be/Lv0MRBIeBTE?...

😊 Seeing Brad Lander leading Dan Goldman 57% to 23%, with only 20% undecided 🫡 Getting Brad to 70% by Primary Day to move Palestinian liberation politics forward in the US and instill fear in the hearts of all pro-genocide members of NYC's congressional delegation

Apropos of nothing, if you think grades should reflect actual student learning rather than arbitrary institutional policies, I'd like to invite you to join us at the Grading Conference June 16--18

This is why the Democrats' current obsession with tax cuts is so dangerous. They're paving the way for more extreme proposals like ending progressive taxation altogether. Again, we don't need "Republican lite." We need a party that affirms that paying for the things government does is good.

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

For those who love pointless niche stats (me and me alone): Montreal have a small chance to be the first team in NHL history to play the most games of anyone in the playoffs despite not making the final

Thanks Drew Warshaw @drewforny.bsky.social for coming to visit us at CQuID @cquid718.bsky.social!!

Democrats should be saying anybody who takes this stolen money will see the government coming after them to claw it back.

Dear @meeks.house.gov: Will you return the $6,600 you received in 2024 from Josh Harris of Palantir Technologies? And will you publicly refuse to accept any contributions from any committee of any company profiting from ICE—or from any executive of any such company? Sincerely, Bright, constituent

The fact that I can see the Black Belt on this one and I couldn't on the NYT one feels like the whole game to me. (a non expert) You can see the Black Belt on any map of disparate outcomes. Pretending it's not relevant to equitable political outcomes feels very disingenuous! (or, you know, racist)

For a very large amount of mathematics, the answer to “Why are you doing this?” is “Why not?”

Waste, fraud, and abuse in the flesh. Donald Trump wants to settle his joke lawsuit against his own IRS department to hand out $1.7 BILLION of OUR TAX DOLLARS to Jan. 6th insurrectionists and his cronies.

We have red light cameras, they’re great at reducing red light running. We have speed cameras, they’re great at reducing speeding. We need blocking the box cameras. There’s no reason to think they wouldn’t be great at reducing blocked box situations.

Owen has been raving about this chart all week—yes, we rave about charts here at The Economist—and if anything he undersold it. Fantastic analysis and exceptional presentation of the data

Thanks @bdlimm.myatproto.social for sharing our campaign. Melissa and I have set up a webpage at QueensAD28.org with more information about our campaign and the role of a district leader and a way for people to donate to our efforts.

For women in math day, let's remember that the US just bombed Maryam Mirzakhani's alma mater.

Honestly malpractice that @mayor.nyc.gov is pushing through the trails without designs that make it easy to plug in the rail, when it's given the greenlight.

Wonderful, important, hard work @newkingsdems.bsky.social are doing to democratize the Democratic Party in Brooklyn. If you live in BK, please vote for the brooklyncantwait.com slate candidates for State Committee / District Leader.

It feels incredibly pedantic to me that we have to keep making this point, but I think it is essential. We are ceding our humanity to machines when we pretend they are doing or producing math.

Toppa feels so good in my brain. My daily 6x6 was fighting me hard today lol. 💪 @markgonyea.bsky.social

Just like with Workday: we've spent a shit-ton of money on these systems, but you should create shadow systems on your own because the ones we bought aren't actually reliable or good.

REMINDER: "New York’s budget process is notoriously opaque. In a 2015 analysis by the Center for Public Integrity, New York ranked dead last among all states for accountability and transparency in its budget process."

just to emphasize again, closing Malacca means 'taking a couple of extra days on a trip.' the economist had a great recent graph on various straits and their relative levels of direness.

a lot of people want to make this about blame--about whose fault this is. but like. who cares. it happened. what matters is that, in practice, "the biden years" failed at the one central thing they had to do. let's not make the same mistakes next time

On my way to #EGU26, perfect time to drop a new post! 🗺️ Something I've been wanting to write about: Mercator projections still showing up in high-profile journals. So here it is: projections you should stop using (for most things) 👇 #gis #rstats #dataviz dominicroye.github.io/blog/map-pro...

In December, SCOTUS stayed a district court ruling blocking TX from using its new maps because the lower court ruled "on the eve of an election." That district court ruling was issued 15 weeks before the TX primaries. Callais was issued *17 days* before the LA primaries.

So, uh, really sorry folks, but I accidentally built an interdimensional portal this morning. If any loved ones go missing, they've probably been transported to a double cover of F₂ in the unit sphere of the quaternions.

Given the logical conclusion of the redistricting wars being felt around the country, I believe that we should fix this in two ways: (1) increase the size of the House of representatives to 1000 members and have it increase slowly over time following the cube root law. ...
