Nate Hochman swears up and down to me that he had no idea that the Sonnenrad was a Nazi symbol. I told him I want to believe him, but it's very, very difficult to accept that someone of his generation who is as smart as he is really didn't know that very familiar Nazi image 1/
going to start saying "cum" instead of "dopamine" for that abstract concept that wasn't actually dopamine anyway. "tabbing to twitter for a quick burst of cum" etc

every so often i remember this image and feel vaguely uncomfortably called out by the fact that i totally couldn't calculate the homology of a simple CW complex
the etymology of "pixel" is "pic[ture] el[ement]" with an extra "s" sound in there. now, "voxel" is supposed to derive from replacing "picture" by "volume"—but then we shouldn't have an "x" at all anymore. really, it should be "volcel"
Now, instead of the default surname being the father’s, newborns will carry both parents’ surnames, making their baby name and full name a combination of the two.
the reason why topology and logic are basically the same thing is that logic deals with questions and their answers and every question is basically "where?" if you really squint
you can tell that bob atkey was the primary author on the clock variables paper and not conor mcbride because it's titled "Productive Coprogramming with Guarded Recursion" and not "What's Löb Got to Do with It?"

Every time I read something to try and learn more about Category Theory, I come away unimpressed. It just always seems like vapid nonsense.
If I were to read one and only one book (or paper/video/etc) to convince myself that category theory is good, what should it be?
this AG-brained subhuman fucking commutative algebraist walked by me today. He said something about the complex "line" in his unintelligible algebraist-babble. I lost it and called him what he was, a worthless algebraist. told that fucker. I hate algebraists so god damn much.
FUN FACT! If you ever need to convince a mathematician that some operation is commutative, simply say "something something eckmann hilton" and they will immediately believe you!
