Palestinian-American. Cat person. Mathematics professor. Leftist. Autistic but often told it’s not obvious. Nerd but not the consumerist kind. Arrogant but can back it up.

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.

Hades II has one big important ending in which the credits roll. And it crashed on me. Fortunately it auto saved before it crashed so I didn’t lose anything. I really thought they were pulling some metafictional Kojima shit.

Just my luck: an intentionally combat-free room and I still get stabbed. My username was very clear about the opposite of this.

Can you imagine explaining to ancient Greeks that we have these things called video games that can depict their mythology a zillion times better than they ever dreamed, but in the intervening thousands of years we made it taboo to draw tallywackers?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a writer address the contradiction at the core of Raphael: he’s the most aggressive of the Ninja Turtles, yet his weapons are fundamentally defensive. A skilled writer could spin an interesting depiction of Splinter doing that on purpose.

As much as conservatives decry academia, Kid Rock is the perfect classroom-ready example of how self-plagiarism is still plagiarism.

I want to play Final Fantasy Tactics and the Advance games, but that’s right up there with the Ultima series: all the advice you get is 100 hours of video and encyclopedia-length FAQs. Just tell me when and how to swing the sword.

You’d know if Elon’s recent Christianity kick was sincere because he’d be making his subordinates find ways for him to take his money with him into Heaven.

If this was the first term, Pam Bondi would already have been shitcanned. You can tell his power’s waning internally: he no longer fires subordinates just for getting attention.

One sign that you’re on the shittier side is if you keep butting into existing conversations on the other side. You can’t see a Palestinian flag without dropping an Israeli flag. You can’t hear Bad Bunny without touting Kid Rock. Just flapping your unsolicited yap like a porn cameraman.

I’ve started to wonder if we should bring back sortition. Leaders who self-select tend to be sociopaths. We conflate ability to acknowledge and handle responsibility with indifference thereto. Put power in the hands of the reluctant.
