does anyone have a fun pseudo-proof relying on equivocating between {f,g} as a two-element set and {f,g} as the Poisson bracket?

It's absolutely nuts that the US has launched a full-frontal assault on the ICC with the eager support of Europe and it's not even a news story

It's in fairness pretty crazy that this guy has been a major political figure and the architect of one of the most disastrous foreign policy decision in recent global history and we're only *now* finding out that he was saying "gas the Jews"
Scorching indictment of the British media

I 100% agree but I cannot tell you how bad it looks that this has become an urgent issue now, when they’re leading the polls, and it was a secondary issue at best for the last two decades when the lads had more important shit they wanted to focus on.

I’d add: we’ve seen on multiple occasions what it looks like when the British press are as one boiling with white hot fury, determined to rend and destroy until their hated enemies are utterly annihilated. Does this look anything like that and if it doesn’t, why not?

It's funny how much internet culture inverted because "I soundly defeated some newcomers" would be great memespeak on the current internet

I do think it's a little undignified that one of the most important results in complex geometry is called GAGA
On the other hand it does open the door for a lot of good jokes, but on the other other hand it does make for annoying googling

Season 1 is definitely a 9/10 but I am really not sure how they're gonna get another season that's as good. Benefit of the doubt though
Okay, judgment is in: Man on the Inside is a very good show. Numerical judgment TBD but definitely >8/10

Lex Fridman's origin story is still crazy
Wrote a total garbage paper specifically to get a Musk interview to elevate the profile of his garbage podcast and now he's spending the rest of his life gormlessly asking the dumbest questions to some of the smartest people and blocking any and all critics

It's funny that the "The [Descriptor] [Number]" has immediate criminal implications
Is this a specifically US thing or do people do this everywhere? Chicago Seven, Central Park Five, Watergate Seven,...

Calling them the “Seditious Six” & branding their statements “despicable” before review is textbook definition of prejudgment. No panel, judge, or reviewing authority can claim neutrality once the SECDEF declares the accused guilty. This looks like the procedures used in dictatorships, not the US.

Was it... was it this transparent during the Iraq war?
Rep. Salazar: "We're gonna be doing a favor to us, to our children, to our economy, to our oil companies to be able to liberate. And to Venezuelans who wants to be free."

Still, it's good that the Democrats didn't pack the Supreme Court. It might normalise the things that Republicans do all the bloody time
Would make Cox the THIRD Republican governor in recent years to expand his state's Supreme Court to shift its ideological balance rightward, after Arizona and Georgia.
Reminder: Republicans love "court packing" when it suits them:
Last week Utah Gov. Spencer Cox appointed anti-abortion culture war zealot John Nielsen to the state supreme court, & may now expand the court to create a majority more favorable to Republican legislators: www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

I feel like it is an underdiscussed fact that designing a robot to occasionally produce a correct fact automatically inevitably produces a far-left bias
The one time someone tried to produce one that was more than a bit rightwing, it immediately became mechahitler

"If you wanna make people laugh at a party, you can use Grok" is an incredible opening sentence.

"lead", here, should be pronounced like the metal, in the sense that he will metaphorically riddle it with bullets
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?
