we struggle to get 14 year old girls who are excellent programmers etc to continue with CS bc their friends aren’t doing it

I would be so grateful if any of you would have some time to video call or come in and give them real talk (bc it ain’t all roses😆) but to inspire them

H.P. Lovebug (1972, 126 minutes) A cross-country road trip becomes downright embarrassing for two hippie pals when their Volkswagen is possessed by the spirit of a writer who believes all non-white people are proxies for unspeakable invasive horrors.

Ballistic Ellipse

Throw stuff¹ in all directions with the same initial speed and the highest points of the trajectories² will form an ellipse³

¹Be careful not to hurt anyone
²Parabolas, because you're throwing stuff in a vacuum (obvs)
³It's an ellipsoid really (we live in 3D)

Anyone can be hoaxed. Anyone. But defenders of Quillette (and critics of “Grievance Studies”) insist that the Sokal2 Hoax was different, in that it showed how certain academic fields were uniquely vulnerable.

That’s why it’s a good day to retweet this incredible thread. https://twitter.com/MicrobiomDigest/status/1131669519682793477

My friend’s entire company is locked out of their WeWork office because an umbrella fell, jamming the door.

No one can figure it out. It’s been like this for 2 days.

More accurately, it's the winner-take-all system of big swing states, not the Electoral College itself, that's the real problem.

RT @Noahpinion@twitter.com
A lot of Electoral College defenders have been telling me that the EC gives disproportionate power to small states.

No it doesn't. That's the Senate.

The Electoral College gives disproportionate power to Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan, which are all big states.

My roommate got super stoned a couple weeks back and found out you can order a personalized big toblerone. He immediately forgot about it until it showed up last night
