“As the @newrepublic.com notes…Trump also “shared a video of a dog being summoned by a can of whipped cream, & another clip of Bruce Lee from ‘Enter the Dragon’ (1973).” This is all coming from a president who gets incredibly mad at the media for reporting on his obvious physical & mental decline.“
BREAKING: Madman President Promotes Racist Video of the Obamas as Apes
Trump’s policies and actions are fueled by explicit racism and election denial. The Obama-ape video encompasses both, writes @swin24.bsky.social.

You have to admire the commitment to neutrality
If the plain facts of the action reflect so poorly on one* side, we simply have no choice but to pretend to be agnostic about whether he intended to undertake them. Treating him as though he had agency is simply too biased
(*only the republican tho)

The New York Times has finally covered the Trump video of Obama as an ape — and they are still providing cover for him. Fuck the Times.

I love neutron stars and I don't think they get enough love among the compact astronomical objects. Black holes get all the attention for how weird they are but I think neutron stars should get some too for how unimaginable the forces there are!

unfortunately extremely funny to give a speech at the Prayer Breakfast about what suckers those religious people are lol
Trump: "Mike Johnson is a very religious person. He does not hide it. He'll say to me sometimes at lunch, 'Sir, may we pray.' I'll say, 'Excuse me? We're having lunch.'"

I believe I solved the main theorem of the paper and I've now convinced both my coauthors and I'm very hyped

Suppose I *almost* have a representation of the pair groupoid TxT ⇉ T into 𝗖𝗮𝘁, except that (t,t) doesn't exactly get mapped to the identity but to a functor naturally isomorphic to the identity
What's a nice way of saying this? Is that a "weak" representation or something?

Dear @ohdahlia.bsky.social
Are you familiar with polydactyly?
It's a congenital condition resulting in extra fingers or toes caused by genetic mutations.
Does this mean that 5-fingers is not the norm—that digits is on a spectrum between 1 & 6?
Intersex people are not a 3rd sex.
Sex is binary

Biologists recognize intersex people, if they don’t then they’re not biologists. Cut the shit.

The verb ‘to worry’ has surprising family members.
Within Germanic, it’s related to German ‘würgen’ and Dutch ‘wurgen’, which mean “to strangle”.
A little further down the family line, they’re related to Latin ‘urgēre’ (to press), which gave English ‘urgent’.

Weddings should have a prosecutor instead of an officiant and he should be able to cross examine both parties. I also have other ideas
