Hi everyone. Reactivating twitter to share this

I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA at the end of last week because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests

I arrived back in Melbourne on Sat 6am and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

We could be in gas chambers and as long as they were built by Elon Musk the ADL would tell us to “take a breath”

Woke up in the middle of the night to write down something I didn’t wanna forget, opened the notes app this morning to reveal

Conforming to our cognition must feel so good if you’re the object

@dodecahedra I’d say so

@fluxtheorist @cix_eria How much better is the original formula? I quite like the new ones but I haven’t had the chance to try an old one.

@dodecahedra So for a circle, we have that construction 2 is a perfectly good way of constructing the polar of a point. Since on arbitrary conic sections, it's really hard to draw tangent lines, construction 2 is preferred over 1 and 3.

[Sam Lidz @Sam_Lidz]

@dodecahedra Coxeter shows that constructions 1 and 3 are equivalent in the last sentence of theorem 6.12 (p 136).
Then, to show that 3 and 2 are equivalent, Coxeter uses figure 3.8b and the discussion that follows it (p 76). He briefly explains how this works at the bottom of page 145.

Not in the transcript, which only transcribes the Israeli part, but 5:30 in they reveal that Israel has abducted over 3,000 Palestinians in order to have more people to trade with Hamas. This is the first time I've seen this covered in western media.
