This is unfortunately not the same and rather a bad faith argument. Not understanding something is different from lacking rigor. There are good reasons why pure math needs rigour, and theoretical physics doesn't (and it is perfectly fine it doesn't).
After 25 years of being told that theoretical physics isn’t mathematics because we prioritize understanding over proofs, I find the math-AI debate rather heartwarming. Suddenly, many mathematicians are explaining that mathematics is about understanding, not just proofs. Welcome!
After telling Semafor he has “no plans” to campaign with leading anti-genocide voice Hasan Piker, Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed explains to MS NOW why he is set to campaign Tuesday with President Biden’s Vice President Kamala Harris.
El-Sayed claims Harris “understood the challenges with the Biden-era policy toward Gaza going into 2024.”
So the leftist who isn’t afraid to take bold stands is popular, and the moderate who carefully avoids upsetting conservatives is not.
I wonder if the Democrats will take any lessons from this.
I once told a friend the recent rise of Islamophobia in Texas made me think I am back in India again. People don't realize how bad it is. Imagine if half the ruling party is Randy Fine level bad, that is BJP and a lot of its supporters.
I made one joke about love jihad and all of my Indian moots came and put their hands on my shoulder and whispered in my ear, George Bush style, a new pithy little sentence that makes me so blackpilled about the entire human species
Almost all newly elected @nycDSA members used The Palestine Genocide as a main campaign issue to win political seat. The voters of NYC expect that they, along with all canvassers who kept name dropping Palestine, will keep same energy & show up to protest Netanyahu next Thursday
🇧🇾 Belarus continues military drills near NATO border
Belarus has deployed tanks, artillery, and drone units for exercises in the Brest and Grodno regions bordering Poland and Lithuania, close to the Suwalki Gap—the roughly 40-mile corridor connecting the Baltic states to the rest of NATO.
For several days, Belarusian forces are practicing counter-sabotage operations, dispersed command posts, artillery fire and drone warfare. Minsk says the exercises are defensive and rejects suggestions that they are preparations for an attack.
The drills come amid heightened tension along NATO’s eastern flank. Poland has recently scrambled aircraft during Russian strikes near its border, while an Italian NATO fighter shot down a suspected Russian explosive-laden drone that entered Lithuanian airspace from Belarus on September 14.
Councilor Green responds to (an extremely cynical and unhinged) call from the Portland Police Association to resign.
He did not resign and, instead, stood on business.
The US carried out so many assassinations of civilians that Carter had to specifically ban the practice, creating an entire legal industry dedicated to justify why the latest US assassination is not actually covered by the assassination ban

Gauhar Iqbal, Secretary General of Pakistan Chess Federation on Pakistan not playing against Israel in Round 1 of the Chess Olympiad 2026 - "It was very obvious - when we do not recognize a state, how can we play with that state? It's a state policy."
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the quote and it is more a shame on progressive politicians than him. Indiscipline lol, progressive used to mean something
No one is going to care that the rest of Hasan’s comments were sensible when he gives them quotes like this.
That sucks and is unfair but he is way too undisciplined for the political figure he is now and he’s putting progressive politicians in tight spots.
Bernie had a 40 year+ streak of holding consistent positions, regardless of whether or not people agreed. AOC has been in office for 8 years and already has a track record of folding under pressure and flip flopping. It is not the same.
I’ve always loved writing. Sometimes, it’s the easiest way to say what you feel. This year, Modi ji, I wanted your birthday tribute to come straight from the heart. ❤️
I’ve seen changes in Indian sport I could barely have imagined growing up. The support, the opportunities and the belief have meant so much. Across fields, a generation of Indians has learnt to take on the world’s biggest names and believe we belong alongside them.
But it’s the personal moments I treasure. Sharing an ice cream with you. Watching you laugh with my then coach, Park, and knowing he would remember it for the rest of his life. You have an innate ability to make people feel warm, welcome and loved.
I remember your hour-long conversation with my husband, Datta, about identifying unique citizen records, or “golden records” at 10:30 in the night. Back in the car, he couldn’t stop wondering how the Prime Minister knew so much about such a deeply technical subject. Your curiosity stayed with him as much as your warmth.
Happy birthday to our beloved Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Damodardas Modi ji.
With a daughter’s affection, I wish you good health, happiness and many more years of service to our great country and its people. Thank you for always making us feel that our dreams matter to you 🙏❤️
