My heart breaks for mathematicians whose lives and careers are being destroyed by AI — and especially this PhD student, who doesn’t even know he is a poet
Kai Shaikh, a Ph.D. student in mathematics at the University of Toronto, also currently at SLMath, observed that theorems are easy to use as benchmarks, but that they capture little of the wonderment at the heart of math. "Just like a photograph of a mile marker can't provide much of the value of actually going on a hike," he said,
"it would seem to me that proofs without stories, or even stories without struggle or mystery, and first glimpses of strange beasts, are not very meaningful or valuable to us humans."

missed National Coming Out Day. but came across this screenshot of the mass email i sent 12 years ago!
mass email from me when i transitioned. the body of the email reads-
"about 15 years ago i sent out a mass email stating that i had used the Troy Aikman quarterback rating system to decide that the right choice was to switch email providers from Aol to Comcast. using the same system i'm pleased to announce that the Troy Aikman quarterback ratings system has given me the clarity to go ahead and switch genders.
i'm available to anyone by phone that would like to crunch the numbers. thanks eveyrbody and sorry for the mass email! and thanks Troy Aikman!"

You ever REALLY overthink something
A Twitter post by @immasiddx

"Instagram growth gurus are so funny. He can't use his laptop because he's holding a drink. He can't drink because he has a cigar in his mouth. He can't smoke his cigar because both hands are occupied."

A photograph of a muscular, shirtless man, back turned towards an off-camera setting sun, holding a laptop in one hand and a cocktail glass in the other, with a cigar in his mouth. His face is framed in shadow. Behind him, a vast, blue expanse of ocean stretches to the horizon, desolate but for two small, distant islands.I feel like this relates to something Baudrillard said in Simulacra and Simulation, where things stop being things and start becoming signifiers. The fancy cigar, the cocktail, the resort with the beautiful view of the ocean, those all used to be things that you wanted and that money got you, but now they've become signifiers that you have money.

Like steak. A good cut of beef used to be something you were able to enjoy more and more often now that you got rich, but now it's a thing that you eat as part of the wealth signaling, even if you don't like steak. I remember Andrew Tate posting on Twitter about how he actually hates eating, and tries to spend as little time eating as possible because he finds the physical sensation unpleasant, and considers it "gay" to invest serious time and effort into cooking meals.

As silly as it is, the photograph in the original post is high art. It's an almost perfect parody of itself. Everything is framed to highlight the signifiers of his wealth: his toned, muscular body, his laptop, his fancy cocktail glass, his cigar, the beautiful ocean surroundings - the view he had to grind for. But he's alone in the picture, standing in front of a vast expanse of nothingness broken only by two distant islands with nothing identifiable on them. His face is framed in shadow, back turned to the light, looking despondently down at the emptiness of his acquisitions, devoid of the joy they should bring.

One thing I find endlessly funny about the rise of AI is that it has revealed that there is a large number of people who believe that the reason they wrote essays at school or university is their teachers were desperately waiting for them to provide a definite answer to “Lear: what’s up with him?”

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back
One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

It’s so funny to imagine what the UK could be like if it took seriously any of its cultural icons—that aren’t wizards, Shakespeare, or in possession of good fortune but in want of a wife. We could have Tyranid statues at Heathrow. Perhaps a grisly frieze depicting Servitor conversion at Gatwick.

"The Sages said: Let him die."
Screenshot: Miriam Anzovin

Sanhedrin 75: A man set his eyes upon a certain woman and passion rose in his heart, to the point that he became deathly ill. The doctors said: He will have no cure until he has sex with her.

The Sages said: Let him die.

The doctors said: She should at least stand naked before him.

The Sages said: Let him die.

The doctors suggested: The woman should at least converse with him behind a fence in a secluded area, so that he should derive a small amount of pleasure from the encounter.

The Sages insisted: Let him die.
