"The earth is degenerating today. Bribery and corruption abound. Children no longer obey their parents, every man wants to write a book, and it is evident that the end of the world is fast approaching."

2/ You have grown up to be the dickhead principal in Ferris Bueller. And the dickhead principal in Breakfast Club.
Cobra Commander was based on William F. Buckley for God’s sake.

Gen X, I need a word.
What the fuck are you doing? Did you not understand ANY of the pop culture we grew up with?
You are not allowed to listen to Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine or Stone Temple Pilots until you get your shit together.
SHAME

Any time is a good time for a new speaker from Paul Carmody! Thanks, these look fun, wonderful. Don’t imagine I’ll secure agreement to swap these with the svelte amigas but hope to find somewhere to put them

This is wonderful and it fits into that seemingly impossible Venn diagram of math+immediately relatable to an active, practical context. It’s not a bland test tutorial, nor is it just pandering, promising the moon, or trying to cool-up the math. Short, enticing🧑🍳🤌
People seem to think Computer Science all data structures and sorting algorithms, when that’s maybe 5% of CS.
So for folks just starting out, I made a short intro to a different area of CS, and a powerful tool I use every day: the transform matrix. youtube.com/watch?v=lQ2DB5TP…
This looks tons of fun! I can’t wait to try it out

I could never share this article because it talks about how Proctorio works. Now I can.
Here's the thing about how Proctorio works: it doesn't. It doesn't do the thing it's supposed to do, and it harms students along the way. Defund Proctorio.

It's time for another tiny (4.8 cm lenght) but absolutely gorgeous #IceAge masterpiece from the Swabian Jura - a #horse carved in mammoth ivory some 40,000 years ago - the oldest known sculpture of a horse!
On display at MUT, Schloss Hohentübingen.
