Part of my lecture video on basic wave phenomena will be a visualization of Fourier decomposition. I have re-calculated my favorite model for that: A silhouette of Joseph Fourier himself, oriented so that the contours of the face form a curve, built up from sine and cosine curves: ⚛️🎢 1/

Gonna be so much of this over the next four years and all the people and newspaper columnists going on about the bigotry on college campuses for protesting Gaza are going to be completely silent on all of it

This narrative that the Democrats ignored the working class is really aggravating. Be specific. You’re talking about the white working class because the Black working class understood the stakes of this election just fine.

Today would have been Carl Sagan's 90th birthday. How fitting that he predicted the current state of our country almost 30 years ago. Worth reading. Happy Birthday, Carl. We miss you. 💙

The uncountable hours I spent reading and watching political coverage and at the end I had no idea what world I was living in, I just thought I did. If I'd spent that time reading about, say, birds, I would now know an awful lot about an awful lot of birds.

I'm tuning out a lot of political stuff right now, and one filter is that I'm not interested in anyone, from centrist liberal to democratic socialist, who doesn't understand the necessity of building coalitions with people you only semi-agree with. It's stunning to me how many people don't get that.
