I find this excerpt from Rayne Fisher-Quann really interesting, and also sad - I don't feel this way at all! but I used to.

reading reactionary bullshit on Substack (this article is called PhDs are easy) and the suggestions to make PhDs more meritorious are mind-numbingly idiotic

if I was a highly educated mathematician I simply wouldn't swallow up pro-ethnic cleansing agitprop slop so breathtakingly overt as to insult one's intelligence

I wonder if it's really satisfying to write this kind of paper (5ish of the references are cited precisely because they assert something incorrect)

algebraic geometers use banana integrals as it is well-known in algebra that reducing the problem to fruit makes the problem significantly more tractable, see e.g.

I really want to be able to use TikZ to draw a branching random walk (ideally through actual code, maybe at most I have to specify the first two vectors of displacements, but I don't want to spend 3 hours fiddling with points and spacing by hand.) Anyone know how to do this?

when I talk about random trees now, I increasingly think about this line by Brecht: "What times are these, in which / A conversation about trees is almost a crime / For in doing so we maintain our silence about so much wrongdoing!"
