Thinking about whether I will return to France or not, this is an important part. I never managed to get my driver's license the last time I was there...

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

A nice video to explain geometric algebra, or space time algebra.

The framework for the calculations depends heavily on David Hestenes' work on space time algebras, which is another name for Clifford algebras.
A recent paper from Hestenes does reference the work of Williamson et. al.:

"Gyromagnetics of the Electron Clock" [2025]

One sign Trump is in deep trouble? Even Republicans don't believe his spin on prices. A CBS poll showed
-4 in 10 Republicans say Trump making affordability sound better than it actually is
-25% of Republicans disapprove of how he's handling inflation.

Classic video. I will never stop sharing this.
Do you think Black people want this cop running around their city with a ticket quota and an arrest quota, ruining the lives of Black people for no reason?
Or trained and working as a detective, solving homicides, SAs, and returning stolen property?

In some cases, maybe. But this exercise often won’t work because students (like most of us) are very bad at intuitively understanding the limits of their knowledge without being trained to recognize it, and “fact check the AI” quickly becomes “using AI to fact check AI” and the cycle repeats.

Always something depressing to wake up to on Bluesky.
By far the LARGEST growth in people arrested by ICE and thrown into detention centers across the country are from people with absolutely no criminal history on record. See the data below (and here: austinkocher.substack.com/p/breaking-i... ).

I always enjoy Movement Mass on Sunday morning in Boulder. It gets me out of the house and into my body. Therapeutic dancing with the five rhythms, part of my ecology of practice.
If I moved to France, I could also find five rhythms, but I wouldn't know anyone. New roots, another transplanting.

I hope we are turning a page on the era of vast belief in conspiracy theories. I think we need to get back to focusing on reality and work together on rather epic challenges like climate change.
JFK was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone.
My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess

Barack Obama said he wanted to look forward and not relitigate the crimes of the Bush administration regarding torture and Guantanamo Bay. That allowed for the drone war to proliferate and for even more expansion of executive power under Trump.
There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.
