E**n M**k posted misinformation about the assault on @SpeakerPelosi’s husband *one day* after acquiring Twitter.

@SarcasmProf No, it's not ridiculous. If profs call each other by their first names in front of students, it will increase the likelihood that the students will address the profs by their first names.

You know what's ridiculous? Two profs that teach together calling each other Professor in front of studens because they think it fosters repect from them.

@dcwuser @stevenstrogatz @DailyMailUK Agreed. The Da1ly Mail is dumb, and it's a dumb question.

@stevenstrogatz @DailyMailUK This is so dumb.

Apparently folks in the UK are fighting about the latest PEMDAS/BODMAS/BIDMAS teaser. I was asked to weigh in by @DailyMailUK. Have a look if this is your sort of thing. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

@Matheleine @stevenstrogatz It's also a stupid question that almost no one following Prof. Strogatz on Twitter would be interested in.

@stevenstrogatz @DailyMailUK The Da1ly Mail is repugnant. Other replies explain why. The correct response would have been to tell them to pound sand.

@murmurations24 His Sinfonietta (sp?) is very good

I hear it’s Poulenc’s birthday today. I don’t know his music nearly well enough, where should I start?

Where across a circle could one place a pair of orthogonal lines so that the sum of the two shaded areas shown is as small as possible? (What is that smallest value?)

@AlexKontorovich I'm unfamiliar with the Numbers app. A good Googling strategy can be to add "reddit" to your query. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a cluster of Numbers fans on reddit 😅

@spradlig2 Yes, I didn't know about the `SMALL` function and google didn't help me find it. (I was also using Mac's "Numbers" app, for which it's even harder to find good solutions on google...)

Fun problem I had to solve today: 100 students, 30 hw scores from 0 to 10. I.e. 30x100 spreadsheet. Compute average after dropping bottom *three* scores for each student. How would you do this, I’m curious? Bottom *one* is easy: find min and subtract from total. But bottom three?

@GrammarTable Thanks for joining #Post ! I’m going to leave this sinking ship soon. I have a Post account.

I haven't yet figured out why my photos won't upload, but this is my Post account so far: post.news/grammartable

@DVRinChicago @drjohawke @GrammarTable I voted “have” and I’m surprised so few others voted “have”

@drjohawke @GrammarTable I agree with you, Dr J. But we have only 29% of the respondents on our side so far. What gives?

Swahili is one of the languages that ______ (has, have) always fascinated Aaron.

I’ve reduced my usage to once a week, mainly spreading negative news about EM. I block all the corporate advertisers I see. I’ll use #Mastodon to pursue my hobbies, and maybe #Post for news. #ElonTheSnowflake #ElonMuskIsARussianAsset

Watching "The Fellowship of the Ring" at home. My joke: "Borimor? More like 'BORE-om'...umm.." My offspring improved the joke by ending it with "SNORE-omir!" #ElonIsDestroyingTwitter #ElonMuskIsaGiantTurd #ElonMuskIsATroll #elongate #VoteBlueForDemocracy

We're pretty good at solving hard problems while sleeping or while doing something else. But for that effect to kick in, you need to have spent a while banging your head at the problem first. It's only payback for prior effort.

What movie have you already watched at least 3 times and would be happy to watch again?

A teacher can only do so much to make the links between new ideas and students' existing knowledge explicit to them. Ultimately… These links need to be made in the *minds of our students*, not just in the words of the teacher.

after getting permanently suspended for 47 hours I can safely say this: I did not learn any lesson and my tweets will keep getting worse

HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS William Kingdon Clifford The fact that Clifford algebra (geometric algebra) is not deeply embedded in the current curriculum is an accident of history. Clifford wrote two papers on the topic shortly before his early death in 1879 at the age of 33. 1/
