is #pi a 'number', a specific value whose digits never repeat, to infinity? does that even make sense?

pi is a relationship. pi is a circle. pi is ALL circles.

this from Nick Bostrom, one of the most influential figures in tech, is grotesque and extremely upsetting

I'm out of twitter hibernation to share this philosophy of cosmology article I had the pleasure of working on with Adam Koberinski and Chris Smeenk. https://t.co/FayKYeip7m

if you have a problem with the student loan cancellation because you already paid off your loans, just pretend its a tax cut for the rich that you also never got but mysteriously didn't complain about.

[People's CDC @PeoplesCDC]

About three-quarters of US counties have high or substantial transmission. Even the CDC’s “community level” maps, which indicate hospital capacity, are beginning to turn red in Puerto Rico, much of the Northeast, and parts of the Midwest and Hawaii.

From 2014 to 2019, only 6% of non-legacy applications were accepted by Harvard. That number jumped all the way up to 34% for children of alumni. Hope this helps!

@IBJIYONGI the fucking wiki page itself says at the top "not to be confused with absence of evidence" !

[Dr. Bridget Falck @BridgetFalck]

@IBJIYONGI Wow. And then she says "there's no evidence" and unironically links to a wiki page on "evidence of absence"? Because as we all know, absence of evidence can be evidence of absence whenever we feel like it?

In which bureaucracy and the carceral system conspire to criminalize poverty, separate a family, and cage a child.

[Sharyn Blum @sleepyknave]

In which a judge takes "school to prison pipeline" extremely literally, or perhaps simply mistakes the latter for the former.

Jails are not schools. And a child's freedom should never depend on their grades.

"In shaping who is disproportionately punished and how punishment operates, how might what is touted as inclusion simply be compulsory visibility, where increased visibility is imposed upon you to participate in existing systems?" https://t.co/B3UW0zbxS8

We cannot ignore the fact that if Brittney Griner wasn’t a Black woman, it would be plastered across the news that she is being held as a political prisoner in Russia.

Free Brittney Griner.

Fiona Apple is on fire right now. Asking you to join her in the fight for public virtual access to court in Maryland. Injustice happens in empty courtrooms. Explains how to call now & urge lawmakers to pass the law. Also this video is just the best. Watch:

That is the end of today's docket.

SAO asked for HWOB for every kid, even ones their own office has told another judge that they are fine to go home.

Step 1: put on the yoga clothes.

Step 2: start the yoga video.

Step 3: get under the weighted blanket and contemplate the weirdness of existence.
