Taught in the 19th century for good reasons: we computed a/b with long division. For 1/sqrt(2) = sqrt(2)/2, find sqrt(2) in a table, and decide if long division is easier to get 1.414213562/2 versus 1/1.414213562.

Taught today for bad reasons: because it was taught yesterday.

One problem with this country is that people who own 700 guns each and attend occasional klan meetings have been convinced by people who own 2 guns each and sit on boards of directors that people who don't own any guns and like libraries are eating babies.

Hey, I remember you from college! Bro! I hated you! So much! You know that time someone slipped you a laxative? THAT WAS ME! Crazy, it's been so long. Josh, this is my wife. Honey, meet Josh, I've told you a ton about him!

One day I’m gonna be on a plane or at an event, and I’ll pull up Twitter, and someone will turn to me and say “wait, you’re Josh Cincinnati?”

With a hint of excitement I’ll say “yes, as a matter of fact I am.”

“God, I hate you,” they’ll say, “I’ve had you blocked for years.”

@benediktbuenz I wrote a script once for a specific ring SIS based scheme. Writing a general script is difficult because the constraints vary from scheme to scheme based on the proofs. See the parameter selection part of this preprint and hit me up with questions: https://t.co/5jIfFVB6a4

I must not impulsively tweet. Impulsive tweeting is the discourse killer. Impulsive tweeting is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my impulsive tweeting. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye

Elon musk is going to own this dumpster fire tomorrow.

Okay everybody it's Zero Hour for this website, post your favorite tweets and give them a little kiss goodbye.

The budget for the ENTIRE NSF (the main funding body for scientific research in the US) was $10.93 billion last year

[sabrina berger-marcelo (she/her) @sabrinastronomy]

meanwhile, friends that i met while at community college who finished their undergrad degrees with 4.0s could not even think about going to grad school because of the financial stress it can put you under. instead, they got high paying jobs in tech after undergrad.

@izmeckler @bascule Keep in mind that paper has no way of assessing false positives.

A 15yo Aboriginal boy was just lynched & most of australia (incl. the PM/govt) are silent

[Doomscrolling Reminder Bot @doomscroll_bot]

hi, are you doomscrolling? It might feel like an act of agency due to the pandemic. Why not use that agency to take care of yourself through a screen break, going to bed early, and/or doing another activity that makes you happy? You still deserve time to rest and recover.

NEW: A Republican PAC is stealing valor on behalf of a Colorado State Senate candidate.

These mailers were sent to voters in SD-8, which includes Steamboat, Craig, the northwest corner of the state, etc.

The Republican candidate, Matt Solomon, is not a veteran. #copolitics

News media never asks why the most economically depressed Black & brown communities have managed to never embrace fascism as eagerly as “suburban moms concerned about crime”

If true, then category theorists are the vegans of math.

@NAChristakis @stevenmklein You’re not supposed to hit on your grad students even without the union, man

[Brandon Goodell @bggoodell]

Not an appropriate place to put a winky face emoji for chrissake

[Nicholas A. Christakis @NAChristakis]

@stevenmklein Unions might, for instance, decide to weigh in on 'work conditions' related to how you do research. I am not talking about (of course appropriate!) lab safety standards, but other things. ;-)

@Micah_Bateman I'd be interested to see a study on the prevalence of these opinions in various disciplines as a function of annual _undergrad_ tuition at the institution.

Bet a clear pattern will emerge.

Really can't get over Dr. Oz saying abortion should be between "a woman, her doctor, and local political leaders."
