The number e (about 2.71828) is a key constant in mathematics. It is the base of natural logarithms and is used to describe continuous growth—like compound interest, population changes, or decay.
It is often called Euler’s number, after Leonhard Euler, though the constant was first discovered by Jacob Bernoulli while studying compound interest. It is also known as Napier’s constant, honoring John Napier.

What was the joke, though? Donald Trump would never in his life post a meme mocking the idea that he's God. So, again, what was the joke?

BAIER: I wonder as a catholic how you consider this picture which a lot of people took as the president posting a picture of himself as Jesus? VANCE: I think the president was posting a joke and, of course, he took it down because he recognized that a lot of people weren't understanding his humor in that case

I got this security question on an Adobe docusign. I was born in 1970 so I selected 1981. It marked my answer as wrong. Was I supposed to answer "None of the above"?

I have not met a single person who watches the Lord of the Rings trilogy and says "I wish this could be more morally gray and deconstructionist like Game of Thrones." And that includes Game of Thrones fans.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is an iconic film series, but it also has many elements that are difficult to watch in modern day. cbr.com/8-reasons-toug…

The Sixth Street Bridge in Los Angeles cost taxpayers $588 million. Because of repeated copper wire thefts, it no longer lights up at night.
The City now admits it takes them sometimes up to 270 days to fix one streetlight.
Also, instead of punishing the criminals who are committing these thefts and forcing them to pay restitution, the City today just voted to increase everyone’s taxes with a new fee hike.
Our LA government at work.

@Darren_Mooney The director works for the showrunners. And if the showrunners say “we need a closeup of our lead here” and it doesn’t exist because the director shot the whole scene in a master, that’s a big problem.

When I hear the phrase “lacking coverage”, I think of Billy Wilder famously refusing to shoot coverage, because coverage was what the studio used when they wanted to screw him.
Coverage makes hacking up a piece of media in the editting room a lot easier.

EXCLUSIVE: Sources say Chloé Zhao ultimately proved a mismatch for the “Buffy” reboot, with the pilot reportedly undershot and lacking coverage, requiring reshoots. Her filmmaking style, while acclaimed, didn’t translate to a dialogue-heavy TV pilot, and the new cast’s performances were said to be under-directed, making it difficult for the characters to land. variety.com/2026/tv/news/b…

Vibrant street commerce is one of the few things going well in Los Angeles, what in the world are you going on about? Someone get this guy back to his suburban Applebee's.

Los Angeles makes it near impossible to open a legitimate business, then spends millions of taxpayer dollars to defend the illegal restaurants littering the sidewalks in communities.

@BradRTorgersen Did you read this one? Much drier but still a great read. As an eighties kid I ate this up at age 14 or so.

It's alt-history now, but RED STORM RISING was the first "thick" book I ever read. I was 13. Had made the jump from "juvenile" books the year prior, with a Jove War Book about a Marine night fighter pilot during WW2. And though the Marine's story was biographical, RED STORM RISING seemed germane. I was (and still am) a military history and military technology nerd. This book was *perfect* for a boy growing up in the Cold War 1980s. Took me weeks. But I loved it.

It’s kind of insane to think about; but within living memory one of the most popular authors was a guy who wrote military books for dorky teens and middle aged men.

@DRRanshaw I once had to work on a screenplay about the two smartest men in the world trying to outwit each other. That was a giant headache.

@RMBee I will go to my grave saying Trek 2009 was a terrific, well cast movie that brought interest back to the franchise for the first time in ages. Too bad they fumbled the follow ups.

And what was the ROI on that investment?
Best Movie Moments 🍿@BestMovieMom
Before J.J. Abrams took over, Paramount reviewed over a dozen scripts for a new Star Trek. Some focused on young Kirk and Spock, others on events after Nemesis. Abrams was chosen to reinvent the saga, not just resurrect it, and he absolutely succeeded.

He's been good recently. But credible? His Ghislaine Maxwell interview will not be a model used in future classes as a model for how to question a witness. (No follow-up.) And he helped produce the nothing-to-see-here DOJ statement when Trump tried to shut down the Epstein document release.
