still trying to keep my november hopes in check but some of these republican candidates seem a little surprised they have to run an actual campaign and answer questions

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."

The modern Republican party is like a specialized island species where they have no known predators. They are completely unprepared for a hostile environment. They have designed their own simulacrum and no longer how to live among us here, in the Real.

Every movie, song, and book that you love was made without the technology that people who don’t make art are now insisting is necessary for making art.

JD Vance: "I love you too sir. In a totally platonic way, to be clear. I'm the vice president, not James Talarico."

All 9 referendum questions are basically the same question: “Do you trust the judgement and motives of Danielle Smith and the UCP over literally all others?” There only needed to be one referendum answer: “Fuck no!”

See, you can be corrupt like Paxton and Lutnick and all the others but to be corrupt and a woman, well, that's just gone too far. Trump allows one or the other.

1. There is no such thing as a "false rumor." The word for that is a HOAX. 2. The headline misses the entire point of the hoax, which is not that he was in Ohio, but that he was in a mental health facility! are there any adults left at the new york times

Republicans Promoted a False Rumor That James Talarico Was in Ohio The Democratic nominee for Senate in Texas spent nine days off the trail with what he and his campaign said was a bad case of the flu. His opponents fueled rumors, including one that spread widely before it was debunked. By Bayliss Wagner Oct. 12, 2026 After James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Texas, spent more than a week with no campaign appearances because of what he and his aides described as a bad case of the flu, a false rumor circulated by conservatives exploded online. By Sunday, a post on X claiming that Mr. Talarico had been at a mental health facility in Ohio a story promoted by Republican allies of Mr. Talarico's opponent, Ken Paxton - had been viewed millions of times. Then the Ohio facility took the remarkable step of publicly announcing on Sunday night that Mr. Talarico had in fact never been treated there. "I've never even been to Ohio," Mr. Talarico, who returned to the campaign trail on Friday, wrote in a post sharing the center's statement. He called the theory "the craziest thing I've ever heard" in an interview with MS NOW. The New York Times reviewed time-stamped images from a security camera at Mr. Talarico's home, which were provided by his campaign on the condition they not be published for security reasons. The images showed Mr. Talarico around the exterior of the home and at its entrances between Oct. 1 and Oct. 8.

I guarantee you, Husted would have given anything to not have Trump come campaign for him, but he couldn't say no. Then he had to stand there smiling and laughing at Trump's weird jokes while his campaign went down the tubes.

Trump on Jon Husted: "I don't do this with men very often. I started examining his body, because I didn't know he was a great athlete ... I looked at his ass"

I know Steve Jobs was a world-class jerk in many respects, regardless of his contributions to the technology we use every day. But I would have liked to see what he had to say about today’s tech bros.
