Shout out to #mathstodon to say hello. I majored in math at #ReedCollege, decades ago now but I do try to keep up now and then. My undergrad thesis was on #KnotTheory (#algebraic #topology). My father was an applied mathematician in aerospace. These days I make a living as a software architect and it is the rare and joyous day when I get to use any bit of math.

Pence says "history will hold Donald Trump accountable" for Jan 6.This is bull crap. The US Justice system, the US Congress, and the US people must hold Donald Trump accountable for Jan 6, and they must do it now before our democracy is trampled to dust.

Camassia Nature Preserve in West Linn, Oregon. A jewel just south of Portland, with a short loop trail on 22.5 acres. Many wildflowers are in bloom right now, including meadows of camas for which the preserve is named. Stay on the trail, there's quite a bit of poison oak around, too. (Leaves of three, let it be!)

@jwalk1230 Nevermind that a tourniquet is not going to help much for a wound from an AR-15. The bullets are designed to shred tissue and disintegrate organs. But sure, let's teach 8 year olds to apply a tourniquet.

Kids these days, let me tell you!"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."--Socrates (c. 470 - 399 BCE)SAME AS IT EVER WAS!

@shacker No Apple devices in our household, not that they're required. Any recordings I can't find on Tidal also seem to be unavailable on all streaming services, probably issues with licensing.

With their focus on book banning and ignoring gun violence, Florida thinks school kids are better dead than read.

@tebicat I can't think of a single programming language where you have to conjugate verbs. Just saying.

@stux Here's a little thought experiment. Think back to the steps you took to allow LLMs to copy your content in the first place. Now you can effectively disallow them from copying your content by performing those same steps in the reverse order.(sarcasm)

These are Latin terms which I know from their use in chemistry.- cis means 'the same side of'- trans means 'the other side of'When I first heard these words applied to gender they made perfect sense and are perfectly acceptable.The Muskrat supreme does not own language. He is respectfully requested to take a flying fuck at a rolling bagel.
