All I want is sweeping systemic changes, is that too much to ask??

"It’s a common misconception that EVs are more likely to catch fire, maybe because EV fires are more difficult to put out and frequently make the news. And car fires are dangerous and frightening, no matter what kind of vehicle is involved.
... study after study has found that EVs have a much lower incidence of catching fire than gas vehicles.
… In the US, EVs caught fire at a rate of 25 per 100,000 sold compared with 1,529 per 100,000 gas cars sold."

Today is the day off for tourism, or the Die Hard tournament. I choose the latter.
Can I win despite losing all four corners and the center? When I get away with a cheap endgame trick, yes.

The #Biden administration on Wednesday announced new benefits for Hispanic-serving institutions to boost higher educational opportunities for Latinos.

@bfjvii Yes. I think that would be approaching 5-point perspective, but with the top and bottom VPs infinitely far away.

@educoder Aren't two-point vanishing points always on the horizon?
I'm not sure how to draw what you describe.
2-point #perspective question: how do I draw a box to the right of the right vanishing point? #MastoArt #drawing #asktodon

Hey mastadonia- I miss having some like-minded strangers to share thoughts with these days but can’t bring myself to use another Meta platform. I’ve been on mastodon since the great Elonification of Twitter but struggling to find my community here. if you’re seeing this, share your best suggestions for how I can find my community here. I’m a 🇨🇦 disabled science/health/disability wonk, work in non profit and love knitting, dogs, and adapted mountain biking (aMTB).
@RickiTarr Is there a plot where someone thinks they're schtupping a hologram of someone, but when they end program it's really them?

On Catherynne Valente's very good post, on holding the line, and on not being the only ones doing it anymore
Team? Team. TEAM! Listen up.
Catherynne's figured it out too. She's got a great post up about how it's all about them trying to get us to surrender now.
They know that they only have this one last shot at this, and after this, they can't win, and then everything - EV. ER. Y. THING - changes for us.
If we win.
Which we will, if we work and work together...
...because whether you know it or not, _some_ of the cavalry we've been waiting for all these years are _already here_.
_Hold the goddamn line_.

What modern books do you use to teach basic Python for data science instead of @jakevdp's "Python Data Science Handbook"? https://jakevdp.github.io/PythonDataScienceHandbook/
I used to teach with that book from 2017-2023 but it got quite old already, I'm looking for a fresh perspective (or just an updated version of the book)
