The commuter trains around here don't have thermostats. It's September, so the heating is on. Never mind it's 20°C out and a sauna in the carriages. Sigh.

Excellent wording from @pluralistic “I'm going to come right out and say it: statistical extrapolation is fine. One of the most useful ways to understand the present and anticipate the future is to measure the things that happened in the past, find the correlations among them, and extrapolate […]

A breathtaking high-altitude trail running scene captured from an elevated viewpoint looking down into a vast green mountain valley. In the foreground, a rocky, gravel-covered trail winds along a grassy ridge, where three hikers with backpacks are visible making their way along the path. Below them, the valley floor stretches out with a braided, rocky riverbed weaving through vibrant green meadows flanked by steep mountain slopes dotted with coniferous trees. Towering, jagged mountain peaks rise dramatically on both sides of the valley, their green slopes transitioning to rocky outcrops. Above, a dramatic sky of deep blue patches interspersed with large, billowing white and grey clouds creates a sense of openness and freedom. The image conveys the raw beauty and solitude of alpine hiking.

Wanting to ethnically cleanse your neighbours isn't a legitimate concern, actually. #UKpol

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

He never looked like the sort of person who would do analytic continuation on the factorial. But the new version? yes that is the man who did this.
