Once in a while right-wing people say it out loud.

One recently said that it's hard to campaign against progressives because "progressives rely on facts".

Masks, sound, speech, and accessibility, a thread! 🧵

I'm a professor. I teach in a mask. I do math with researchers and students with hearing and auditory processing disabilities. This is a thread on my solution for lip reading and audio quality all in one.

This is all the more reason we need to fight. During this term when you see a lie. Post a truth 3 times. If we've learned anything. Repetition worked to program them. It can certainly deprgram them. #TeachAmericaToThinkAgain

You're using math, which has a well known liberal bias.
FOX: This bill adds trillions to our debt. How is that acceptable to the administration?

BESSENT: You're referring to the CBO scoring I believe, which is DC-style scoring

Do confuse MAGA folks with facts. It makes their heads hurt.

I'm teaching a course called "abstract algebra" this semester. There are many reasons I think it's good to teach very abstract math In These Times but the one that puts a spring in my step as I head to class is that *gosh* it's fun to think about and *boy* am I loving the privilege of sharing it. +

Not too much to ask

Exactly. It feels like some people arguing that we can't use computers to do productive simulations of reality because, well, you know, the computers are just doing *math* rather than uncovering *meaning*

But math *is* meaning! It's one representation of reality! And the same is true with language!

Always, what is the denominator?

Something I would appreciate in the cargo ship that destroyed the baltimore bridge articles is "compared to what." Like what I need to know is not just how recently the ship had issues, I need to know how recently the ship had issues vs industry standard.

Dear Colleagues: Now is the time to scale up public engagement with science

I address this letter to scientists, but it is an invitation for fans & defenders of science everywhere to unite & take action!
Let's focus a lot more on K-12 ed 🧪 #SciComm #EduSky

Logic is a muscle; if you don’t exercise it, fascists will happily bench-press your freedoms.

There is no "I" in team, but there is an "i" in "axis," and along the i axis you can find multiples of the square root of negative one.

"i" appears twice in "imaginary," which is convenient if you need a pair of them to generate a negative one.

I got the idea from one which was captioned 'Science', 'Nature' and 'PNAS'.
