I think a bunch of you math people will be interestsed in the part about how numbers in the past were all conceived of describing some thing (like the word "dozen" now). www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIQz...

Nobody likes being lied to, and everybody wants their fiction to be written by a human.

This album is so good. Syreeta is wonderful and Stevie Wonder is one of one.

“written with millennial compression, compassion, grace, and somehow even wit,” what is millennial compression???

Not only do young children think geometrically but so do monkeys.

I put this project aside like 9 months ago after it felt stalled and confusing (pictured are the cut file and main doc) but maybe I should just merge them and declare it a first draft?

Anyway for fiction I love this.

All very interesting (I replied to the thread) but I do want to say that Claude Shannon invented a wearable computer to help cheat at roulette to gain an edge on the casino. Nerdiness was never pure.

It's been a few years I think I've earned myself a relisten.

"Accountability from artificial intelligence is different than accountability from a human. What message does that send to students? What kind of life does it prepare them for?" from @dylanpkane.bsky.social fivetwelvethirteen.substack.com/p/the-medium...

Some faves, and the way I know they're faves is I'm tempted to pick up and reread each of them right now.

A story I wrote is on Wigleaf's list of good stories from 2025. That's very cool! Honestly a credit to MoonPark, a really great mag. Here's the story: moonparkreview.com/issue-34-win...

One weird thing about kids is that as much as they change there are certain things that do NOT change. Like this is a picture of my kid from 2023 but it could have been taken last week during a storm. She's always liked mud.

I'm excited to read your book, this series looks awesome. I'm not sure I have a typo story but here is one of my favorite ever tweets.

The Pythagoreans had a table of opposites, here is a table of approximates. I’d add language//experience. Add your own.

Here's a fun activity for the children.

I made a little zine. I printed some copies. I don't know what to do with it or who to give it to.

Randomly thinking of the fun parts of a story I wrote where an aging Yiddish writer tries his hand at trendy sci-fi romance.

This guy's hilarious! Gets in fights with bishops, duels, contemplates (and partially executes) murder, he hates music and priests, dishes on everybody.

I've been mostly listening to that amazing first album, this is me listening to that She's Leaving Home cover. (Also Black Maybe is amazing.) She's a great singer but I'm mostly looking for Stevie deep cuts.

I always check these things for PIACC, which has the decline but doesn't seem to have the gender disparity?

Really fun (needless to say also bloody and brutal) read! Not as wild as I thought at first, though still pretty insane, it’s essentially a very bloody New Testament midrash. It’s interested in how grief can transform a person.

This book looks interesting, with a blurb from the GOAT.
