14yo: Birds are all named either "Red-bearded Black-Bellied Finch," "Stupid Cocksucker," or "Wilson's Little Guy."

The new pope has a BS in mathematics from Villanova, which explains how he was so successful at becoming the largest cardinal.

I'm voting NO on the Republican shutdown bill. NO on handing Donald Trump and Elon Musk a blank check to spend your taxpayer money however they want. NO on cutting funding that helps families put food on the table and crack down on wealthy tax cheats. We need to push back.

Please stop with the generative AI. It's garbage, theft, making us less capable. Image by www.nobodyssweetheart.com

We finally watched “Flow” — a lovely film about a rag-tag group of animals brought together in a world of magical realism. It is told without dialog, purely through animation. Worth watching! Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=82WW... Making of: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw-a... #movie #animation

Lovely people of BlueSky- I am editing a book on the use of the arts (including tech/anything creative) in maths education. If you would like to propose a chapter (could be about art,drama, coding, clothing design, musical theatre, poetry…whatever you like) then you can email me at [email protected] 📧

Perhaps of interest to the #bridgesmathart #mathart community.

would really love it if someone would create "Dear ImRenderer", a "bloat-free" immediate-mode renderer that avoids all this error-prone and inefficient duplication of state between CPU and GPU

Just in time for the AI policies to go into my syllabi - I've cleared my brain of all of its frustrations regarding generative AI. I think it's important to resist the stuff. For all of us. And for no greater reason than preserving our humanity. I think the stakes are that high.

Home for the holidays and with some time to write, I wanted to make a post about the p5.js 2.0 work from this past year ahead of the release next year, and what makes its community special www.davepagurek.com/blog/p5-2.0-...

Bill 212 passes 66-27. Just wild to watch our government blithely make everything worse for literally everyone. Fuck.

The Ontario Government is trying to strip out bike lanes we just got finished building and is adding lots of red tape to the process of adding new bike lanes. I got annoyed enough that I wrote, recorded, and animated this protest song in a week. Go call Doug Ford!! youtu.be/Z9vsHzj_-ZU

I created this account a while ago, but haven't used it. I'm now populating it with basic profile information, and will follow friends fleeing twitter. I might stop by occasionally, but I'm mostly at mathstodon.xyz/@csk.
