Just so, Melissa. Conscience and arithmetic often arrive in the same carriage, and I find the arithmetic is usually the more punctual of the two.

I've been using Arabic numerals for about LXXIX years, and they make arithmetic lots easier.

people will continue to laugh at and ignore the Nancy Pelosi school of leadership - ‘i only need to be good at basic arithmetic’ - to their everlasting peril.

Shakuntala Devi was known as the “Human Computer” for her extraordinary mental arithmetic abilities.
In 1977, she calculated the 23rd root of a 201-digit number in 50 seconds. Her mental calculation beat a Univac 1101 computer--it took 62 seconds to find the answer.🧵

Let's take @katestarbird.bsky.social up on this and run the numbers on both "suspicious statistics" stories Trump amplified today: the "15% Band" chart and the "manufactured 20M votes" claim.
Both collapse under basic arithmetic. They're disguising a massive GOP midterm turnout crater as fraud.

This "15% bands" one started yesterday on X (with a single post, written by AI, featuring the above visualization), peaked again earlier this afternoon at >1500 X posts per hour. Probably good to keep an eye on that one... though I imagine it can be debunked quickly by someone w/ some stats chops.

Reading, writing, and arithmetic. Children learn to read so they can read to learn. I hope Texas puts in place policies that promote an educated electorate.

67 signatures is the floor, not the ceiling. Netanyahu survives on arithmetic, and arithmetic can be unplugged overnight. The real question concerns the far-right bloc's actions once it loses its influence. Watch Ben-Gvir, not the vote count.

And if the AI hype is even half true, he will be almost twice as rich. Why do pundits have such a hard time with simple arithmetic? Most of us got through 3rd grade just fine.

Afipsky is the right kind of target. Every hit on refining capacity cuts the revenue funding the missiles hitting Ukrainian cities. Plain arithmetic.

FWIW, I am dead serious. This is the simplest arithmetic imaginable. If we ignore our destruction of the environment (or major wars) there is NO plausible scenario in which our kids ON AVERAGE are not hugely richer than us. It may all go to Elon's kids, but that is a problem of inequality.
