Well I’d like to see how the interests of capital could possibly assert themselves through THIS unhinged set of actors! *The cunning of reason causes objects to act and re-act in accordance with their own nature easily*
Ah! Well. Nevertheless,

OK, I'll bite. If John Cassavetes is so insanely influential and brilliant, why have I not heard about him until recently? I've been on a side-quest with classic and esoteric movies, mostly through the Criterion collection. I've watched dozens of Criterion closet picks from filmmakers and actors I admire. They pick Cassavetes films ALL THE TIME. Probably more than any other director except Scorsese. I haven't seen a single Cassavetes film. I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk about a Cassavetes film outside of those videos. I'm not a slouch on film, I've got a pretty wide spread on what I've seen & what I appreciate. How has Cassavetes slipped through that net so completely for so long?

correct, we should start with galois groups in 7th grade and then at a graduate level introduce polynomials as elements of their representation theory.

The basic issue with math education is that it is old enough that it was mostly designed before the computer revolution, so retains a bunch of vestigial stuff which isn't that useful with computers. Like, polynomials are mainly just convenient functions for working by hand with

Genuinely--what is the answer for men? Manufacturing's gone. The trades exist, but they aren't growing. Healthcare and education are growing, but patients don't want male nurses and parents don't want male teachers. Are there any growing industries where they fit?

Apply Kan’s Ex^oo functor to both donuts and then take the ordinary cartesian product in simplicial sets.

this tweet has had me laughing for a solid 5 minutes not even because of the math but because i can't figure out how you would multiply a donut by a donut

First unit distance fell, and that was great Cause we love proofs as well as progress. Then cycle double cover, that's okay: It's only graph theory anyway. Who's next? The Levent got JC3, but don't you grieve: There's still a salary to receive. Non-sofic groups arrived, but have no fears: They can't replace us for at least Five 🖐️ years. Who's next? Claude slopped out a zeta bound and we said: "It ain't RH! Go to bed!" Then FLT got autoformalized within Lean Just another clerical work by the machine. Who's next? Then Tristan got Euler, but we all knew That was Anthropic's internal compute Bubeck's 🐪 gonna 🐪 get N-S 🐪 too 🐪 Just to dunk on You Know Who! Who's next? AGMAI. Was. Getting. Tense. Recommendation. In. Self. Defense. "OpenAI's our shepherd, we're all NDA'd, But just in case, we better condemn!" Who's next?

Happy anniversary to The Times They Are a-Changin', the truly cursed Bob Dylan Broadway musical that opened on this date in 2006 (and closed a couple weeks later). For "Like a Rolling Stone," they had the whole cast—wait for it—roll around on stones.

Can't a novel be about a guy trying to improve his position in an intensely stratified society without everyone saying it's about class?

Tools and computational resource disclosure. We used AI to help with LATEX, specifially the -emoji created by Microsoft Copilot. We asked Copilot and Chat-GPT 5.6 for references proving or disproving that the category of all finite dimensional representations is braided monoidal. While Microsoft Copilot tried to convince us that the category is braided and that our paper is wrong, ChatGPT was aware of sign problems and that one has to take a subcategory. ChatGPT didn’t know a specific reference proving that it is not braided monoidal, but it helped us find [BG24, §4.1]. Furthermore it started proving it using that paper, even though we didn’t ask for it. We completely ignored that part, since we have our own proof.

Moment an American pastor and prophetess, who are both married, introduce a new wife to their congregation and announce that they are now in a polygynous marriage with a female church member, claiming it is the “will of God.” 😭🤦🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️

I was invited to panel w/Zizek a few y ago. So I read 2 of his books & couldn't figure out what it was abt, so I declined. I now bitterly regret missing the occasion as I attended one of his lectures and althought I still understood nothing I found him playfull & mesmerizing.

I have just published a piece that is very important to me. It's about why so many "progressives" and people on "the left" are lying to us right now about crime, safety, and repression, and what we should be doing instead. equalityalec.substack.com/p/…

one of the worst modern filmmaking trends is soundtracking a scene of extreme violence with an ironically innocuous/cheery pop song. total hack move
