hi, if you’ve found my profile, i’m new here! my interests are broadly horror, art, and math (and everything those imply).
i’m a mathematician studying data analysis, and trying to focus on Big Data colonialism and making fairer algorithms. reach out if you share any of these interests!

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
WGA Statement on ABC's Decision to Pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WGA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

The Israeli army refers to the practice of murdering aid-seekers as “Operation Salted Fish,” the Israeli version of the game ‘red light, green light.’

archive.ph/9CyTK
The soldier added, "We open fire early in the morning if someone tries to get in line from a few hundred meters away, and sometimes we just charge at them from close range. But there's no danger to the forces." According to him, "I'm not aware of a single instance of return fire. There's no enemy, no weapons." He also said the activity in his area of service is referred to as Operation Salted Fish – the name of the Israeli version of the children's game "Red light, green light".

I feel like I have to say this constantly, but Science is not Nature.

Nature is the world. Science is our half-assed, eternally flawed effort to understand that world through a glass darkly.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?

You absolutely can lie via data & math & everything about how you present data is an argument for how to interpret/understand it

Everything we know is founded on best guesses & analogies
