             Good things come to those who wait. It's been a long wait, we know, but it's finally here. We are releasing STRATO Mercata V2 to the world.

             "MERN stack bootcamp, but it's soft power" seems like the kind of thing our reigning oligarchs would eat up, if only they could stop kicking the alliance in the teeth for one (1) minute so I can make my elevator pitch

            @josecalderon Sorry folks, this is just a West Side Story appreciation account now
          
           West Side Story with Oakland Symphony was easily one of my favorite Bernstein performances to date. The only person having more fun than me was Maestro Morgan. Here, I saved you some Tonight Quintet

             Such a privilege to work with these brilliant folks, and completely derail their insightful conversation with my ravings about West Side Story, the superlative American composition of the 20th century and Leonard Bernstein's best work by far 👍 
           Starting something fun: Notion After Hours. Here's episode 1 with @geoffreylitt, @maryrosecook, @mschoening and @sliminality! We talk lifelong love of computers, malleable software, and the future of our relationships with AI. All the stuff we care about. Tell us what you think!

             To be clear, the strawman is the QT, not the excerpt from Seven Trees in One by Blass. It's true that plenty of mathematical writing is "desiccated," but this is a skill issue true of many disciplines. To blame a (helpful) structural convention is deeply misguided, imo.

             This feels like a strawman. "Thm, Pf, Lemma" structure is organizationally useful, but more importantly has nothing to do with presentational clarity (or lack thereof). No one is stopping you from interspersing paragraphs of exposition, as indeed most competent writers do! 
           The desiccated "Theorem, Lemma, Proof, Corollary,..." presentational style is staggeringly counterproductive, if one's objective is actually communicating the underlying mathematical intuitions and thought processes behind a result. In reality, the process is more like... (1/4)
