Gary Larson predicted Ben Garrison

If he is saying billion, with a B, that's about 400 pounds per person, which seems like an unhealthy amount of weight to lose. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Are there interesting skeet-length proofs in math? Trying to figure out some foundational results in number theory, like existence of the integral basis (doable if you accept that the trace is nondegenerate). @matthematics.com

DID CAPITALISM RUIN THE WORKPLACE?

The library where I gave my "News Media in the Misinformation Age" talk last night in Bourne, MA had a well-stocked free food pantry. Public libraries remain a beacon of humanity in our ever-more inhumane society.

He is so good at this

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-) he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

Alright Dave Portnoy and Bill Ackman time to leave New York City and never return like you promised

This is why if you learn nothing else for evidence literacy, learn to look up survey items and read them for yourself and think about how someone might interpret them.

“I uhh… wait lemme try that one again”

Tonight, in Chicago, North Side rapid responders and community members held a vigil. At least ten people were abducted by ICE in Rogers Park alone today. We uplifted the message RESIST ICE in lights. We spoke out, sang together, grieved, and reaffirmed our commitment to defending our neighbors.

Not the point at all but what a supervillain-ass name, literally every time I hear it I think he’s Ozymandias

It is both #GodzillaDay and #SandwichDay Please allow me to present GODZILLA SANDWICH, with thanks to @NepalFood on TikTok #FrightClub

Hey Siri, who endorsed Cuomo today

The academic job market has become the whole job market

Like no shit lots of normal people hate AI now, a lot of normal people just watched Elon Musk and DOGE brag about using it to destroy the American government

I totally did not read this correctly the first time I

"Nothing says 'innocent of all the accusations against me' like riding around the city in a white Ford Bronco." ~Andrew Cuomo apparently

As someone who researches and publishes on feedback I can assure you feedback is where most of the teaching takes place in writing classes. Facts. Outsourcing that move is outsourcing teaching. Just get out of teaching then.

Really nice piece on math and democracy here. (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/s...

I am Ozymandias, King of Kings. Press 1 to look upon my works, press 2 to despair

The faculty who say we should use AI to grade/give feedback because it's a way for us to "reclaim our time." Line in the sand. It isn't our time. It's theirs. If you have such little respect for your students and their time, quit. Disrespectfully, the rest of us.

I understand the instinct. Grading/giving feedback is easily the part of teaching that demands the largest investment of cognitive load and time. It's also literally where 90%+ of ACTUAL LEARNING happens. It *is* the work. That's why it's hard. That's why it's important. That's why it's human.

I have to say, I really appreciated Jared and Michael for talking to me instead of just ABOUT me. One of the strange things about becoming a meme internet character is that everyone is always responding to a version of you that other people created; you lose control of your own identity in a way.

I feel like this centralizing question needs to be accented by Matthew 7:15-23 regarding false prophecy.

The very fact that this sentence can mean two very different things is proof of its validly lol

“…when there were 3 sets of jackboot prints?” “That is when the Police abducted you.”

happy "the car clock is finally correct" day to all who celebrate

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits

Oh, Maria Roberta Salomone, will you ever learn (that my email address is not your email address)

Onion haters are even more oppressed than g*mers.

It's wild how some people will look you in the eye and swear down they're a decent normal person then just go ahead and put onions in their food. Unbelievable.
