I like this one, because it shows that maybe there are some alternate explanations.

I'd suggest a #slowrevealgraph but I don't know if I want kids to know how crazy we are. today.yougov.com/health/artic... No offense meant to believers! #dataviz

Many believe that aliens would bring new diseases and unintentional harm or outright hostility to people if we were to encounter them.

In his HUMBLE PI book, @standupmaths.bsky.social writes about using this to your advantage. When the price is .x1 or .x2 (or .x6 or .x7) pay in cash to get the rounddown, and when it's not, pay with a card to avoid the roundup.

This will save you tens of dollars per year!

Now I teach for AOPS and I write.

I love teaching for AOPS. This semester I'm teaching algebra. artofproblemsolving.com

I'm writing a series of 4 YA novels, with math exploration at the center. I'm currently working on Althea and the Mysteries of Calculus.
