That DeSantis himself was a history major makes the steps he's taking to sterilize Florida's history curriculum even more sinister. He knows the truth about the harrowing history of slavery in America, but he thinks it's okay to deprive Florida's students of that same education.

"Winter is coming" was a truly eye-opening book for me. Gari doesn't speculate on what Putin may think, he looks at what his actions are. And it's a prescient (published in 2015, aged not one single day) of the kremlin strategy.

All the "one year" retrospectives are fine, but please remember two things. 1) Putin invaded Ukraine NINE years ago. He was allowed to occupy and destabilize Ukraine for 8 years until confident enough to launch all-out war. Compromise and deescalation did that.

Would replace "add" with "ad", but apparently I'd need to give Elon $8 for that.

Is it a glitch from firing all the staff? Is it an anti-competitive bid to reap all the add dollars? 50-50 from my view...

Tweetbot and other clients are experiencing problems logging in to Twitter. We’ve reached out to Twitter for more details, but haven’t heard back.

We’re hoping this is just a temporary glitch and will let you know more as soon as we know more.

Turns out Euler's identity is just a generalization of a truly great IEEE 754 truth:

@CodysLab "Я∃" means "I exist" to a Russian-speaking mathematician. Could lead to some very philosophical cows.

[Andrew Cobb @cobbal]

@danthat Maybe. Could also be "spec ops: the line"

@Peter_shirley That one's probably a bug. File a report with reality.

Final straw; I'm going to actually go mastodon instance hunting now. I plan to stay here too, unless I get banned. From https://t.co/wLm5vx28Xt

Wow, @MikeLeeforUtah votes AGAINST Ukraine aid… and has avoided being being sanctioned by Russia (for some reason).

Why does Mike Lee not oppose this war? Utah stands for human rights unlike Mike Lee.

[Sarah Rainsford @sarahrainsford]

A IT expert with no military experience at all, who didn't even do his military service, shows the call-up papers he got today. He's being sent to the military hours later - to fight in Ukraine

This is Russia's 'partial mobilisation', supposedly recruiting experienced soldiers..

@BradenScothern Hey, I just asked for some pointers on optimization. No need to subtweet me like this 🤣
