2/3 of the Senate is not up for re-election next year. It takes 2/3 of the Senate to convict someone after the House impeaches them. Coincidence? I think not!!

My math was off. Only by a decimal point! (But still…embarrassing)

This proposal would result in players earning about 15% of revenue. That’s a generous estimate. If you use Deloitte’s revenue estimates, a $5 million team salary cap would only have been 7.5% of 2025 revenue. Pathetic either way!

Loser Mike Johnson is pissed that we’re gaining ground in forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits.

So let’s get even louder:

What I'm listening to today: "n2o (slices) by dominator"

Creepy, mind-bending, atonal-sounding Amiga tracker music from 2001. Breakbeats and fell summonings. Hard techno soundtrack to something horrible which you are powerless to stop. Your limbs move unbidden

Good people are alone with no holiday treats and I hate it. I want to do something but I can’t figure out how to do it without something Amazon. Basically I want to do an adult gift trade, or something where creators like myself could offer a book or art as a little prezzie? Any suggestions?

Very interesting Gelman blog suggesting that a good amount of the "Mississippi Miracle" is selection bias (holding back lowest performers, who then don't take the 4th grade test) rather than improved learning

What's the best programming language?
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

Happy dinosaur-eating day in the US! I am thankful for the wonderful paleoartists who have made Bluefin come alive with their wonderful contributions.

Thank you @nataliajagielska.bsky.social and @dragonsofwales.bsky.social for making this dream come true!

As an applied mathematician, I approve this message!
My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.

Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.

No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.

That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.
