Seen this around without alt text, so I yoinked it to post it myself.

I think I found the luggage

I don't know if desmos is "better" we are no longer buying graphing calculators for students. I have been trying to get the faculty to pay more attention to this issue.

Getting my hands on a calculator is what *MADE* me a math person. I think it's incredibly important.

Since students will have this software during the test they need to use it regularly as they learn. I'm also annoyed that few faculty seem to understand this.

@jpmens I foolishly thought *per year* would be the appropriate time frame: https://curl.se/dashboard1.html#hackerone (the graph hasn't updated yet)

Four bendy buses managed to enter a roundabout at the exact same time from four different directions in Oslo yesterday afternoon and get properly stuck, each bus blocking the exit for the one behind it. #BigBusStuck

Evidence suggests early developing human brains are preconfigured with instructions for understanding the world

https://news.ucsc.edu/2025/11/sharf-preconfigured-brain/

So, it is like software or firmware that comes with default instructions for building something useful using that app; however, here you can go on and build your own life with default set of instructions to understand the world. How cool is that? Can this info used to treat brain disorders? Can we fix bugs in the default instructions to improve life?

On the 4th October, 1936, the British Union of Fascists had planned a march to the East End of London.

Despite the petition of East Londoners, with 100,000 signatures over two days, the Home Office declined to ban the march. Authorities refused to allow a counter-march by the Ex-Servicemen's Movement Against Fascism, because the fascists had organised their march first.

On the day, around 3,000 fascists turned up for the march, protected by more than double that number in police.

The fascists and police were resisted by over ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND anti-fascists who erected barricades, chanting "They Shall Not Pass". Police attempted to dismantle the barricades and clear a path for the fascists, and were pelted with rotten vegetables, and the contents of chamber-pots thrown from upstairs residents.

There's a damn good reason why fascism had a hard time establishing itself in the UK; I'm pretty sure it wasn't the government nor the police.
