I just got a lot of new mathematician followers, so in my attempt to pander, here’s my area of interest. For the past year, I’ve been translating, solving, and writing detailed solutions for Japanese college entrance exam problems. I even code randomly-generating variants for student practice.

I’ve been switching between Python, C, and MyOpenMath’s coding language. Why does every language change how they handle variables and write “𝚎𝚕𝚜𝚎 𝚒𝚏” and all these other things that seem to be different for the sake of being different? This is also how I feel about Canadian English.

I have no idea why Roddy McDowall is trending or why BlueSky is collectively watching the original Poseidon Adventure, but I’m not losing this opportunity to mention the Bookworm, arguably the best single-use Batman villain.

I still remember when these “Shreds” videos blew up like 17 years ago. I didn’t really get why they were funny except for the saxophonist in this one who just shows up for five seconds to toot his little heart out.

I have a major love-hate relationship with SomethingAwful. That’s where I got my youthful contrarian phase out of my system. I still flash back to the many Ls I took there, but I learned and grew from them. Now I do better. But I’m never going back. I get actual nightmares about logging back in.
rest in peace, Mike

My unpopular SNL opinion: once a cast member becomes the whole show’s main character—be it Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig, Pete Davidson, or even Bowen Yang—they have to go. The weakest episodes and seasons always have major imbalances of screen time.

One thing nobody properly impressed upon me about living in a country that has—or is about to have—de facto restrictions on speech: I feel the constant dissimulation bifurcating me into two different people. There are so many things I can’t risk saying out loud, even alone.

between this and the rise of generative video meaning any kind of photographic or video evidence can be trivially faked by any dipshit bottom-feeder with a badge, there's really only eyewitness statements left in terms of 'evidence'.
Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience.
Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense.
They admitted it.

The Blues Brothers’ official metatext, Blues Brothers: Private, was written by Judith Jacklin (John Belushi’s widow) and Tino Insana (a Second City buddy of his). John’s and Dan Aykroyd’s brothers voiced them in the abortive cartoon, and now their kids have written this graphic novel.

Obviously, rich people giving generous donations to charities is better than if they don’t, but it’s still a performative movement of stolen and hoarded wages.
