The degree to which every single major journalist seems to just hate math is palpable in almost everything
Haha, this from the New Yorker is getting passed around the math dork community. I did a comic about this kind of thought a few years ago: www.smbc-comics.com/comic/commut...

The intolerance default being set to Warn but rudeness being set to Hide feels like a parody of mastodon-style sentiments regarding discourse norms. Is there, like, a reason this is happening here now?

The ending of Torchwood S1 is the funniest thing ever, they do the most unsubtle Christ analogy I've ever seen, down to Harkness being betrayed by his followers, dying for their sins in a fight with the literal devil, him being ressurected on the third day, and being taken away by God (the doctor)

What DHS pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is wildly unconstitutional. They smashed down almost every door in the building, dragged entire families into the street, and detained people for hours ("Kavanaugh stops").
Ms. Fisher was held for five hours and another senior citizen was held for three hours.

![Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties.
Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours before agents finally let him go.
“I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up,” Jones said. “I asked if they had a warrant, and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreib66z6racbfo5llgukbvmldxq44zaa7nqetkcs5cwxfez6xcec5oy@jpeg)
