It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

Happy Birthday to Frederick Douglass who didn’t know his birthday because he was born into slavery so he chose February 14 as his birthday.

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message:
- the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next
- a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9
- the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next

Romance alert: Trump's reckless tariffs have Valentine’s Day costs up across the board:
Roses 🌹16.6%
Chocolates🍫 18.7%
Ribeye 🥩 25.4%

Sometimes you get so far down a Wikipedia rabbit hole that you encounter a sentence like "Consider a three-dimensional harmonic oscillator." and really have to pause in such consideration to examine your life choices

I truly wish the “blue no matter who” contingent would just shut up until after the primary and let people who want a better candidate call for one in peace instead of screaming about how we all need to slobber daddy newsom’s hog before he’s declared or else we’re somehow fascist.

Here is a deeper philosophical question that I am now pondering:
By way of design, Speedgrader encourages me to *give feedback*; by way of design, Gradescope encourages me to *categorize* and THEN give feedback.
I'm ... not sure how I feel about this ??

Anybody use Gradescope and aware of a way to grade stuff w/o points? The grouping and annotation tools kick ass but I am trying so so so so hard to never say anything resembling a points to a student.

Ok I wish to propose a parsimonious explanation for why "top" and "bottom" aren't used here, which is that since both riders are supine, the one on bottom would be the top and the one on top would be the bottom, which would be unnecessarily confusing. Hope this helps 🤗

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.
I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

I'm still SHOCKED by the obscene rise in billionaire election spending since Citizens United in the NYT piece, despite already knowing that election corruption w/ $ was profound. (Recall that BCRA fought dangerous campaign $ in *2002*)
The article data didn't have a graph, so I made one to show it.

Hey who says "point-wise" vs "across-time" or something like this when they're talking about the development of the function concept? I thought it was Breidenbach but that's not right.
