nothing has humbled me more than the book for undergraduate mathematics I started last week. made it 11 pages before I had to quit and remind myself that no one else has probably used the quadratic formula in the last 10 years either

This is shocking. Pure totalitarianism from DHS, and also blatantly unconstitutional.

How My Reporting on the Columbia Protests Led to My Deportation
As an Australian who wrote about the demonstrations while on campus, I gave my phone a superficial clean before flying to the U.S. I underestimated what I was up against.

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.
It's mind-blowing how little attention this extraordinary statement has received. It's briefly mentioned in a couple news articles, but this MSNBC opinion piece is the only extended discussion of it I've seen: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Most Americans frequently use federal science information. But few are concerned that cuts to federal science spending could affect their access to such information, a new poll finds.

a lot of people feel that we can't nominate women for president because they'd lose. I explain why these arguments don't make sense...and also, worth remembering that following this logic of "safe" candidates is a big part of why we're here now, in hell. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/democrats-...

I thought going into the break I had a good first chunk of my Master’s thesis. However, in trying to clarify my research question and hypothesis after my committee’s round of feedback, I’ve made this disaster.

First day of spring semester, and my instructions were to make a slide making me “cool and relatable” to the students. Thoughts?
