Politicians fear banishment by a party remade in #Trump’s image &… #primary opponents financed by #Musk, the president’s all-powerful partner & the world’s richest man.

“When you see important societal actors—be it #university presidents, #media outlets, CEOs, mayors, governors—changing their behavior in order to avoid the wrath of Trump, that’s a sign that we’ve crossed the line into some form of #authoritarianism,” said Steven Levitsky, a prof of govt at Harvard….

@robertkaplinsky @pustam_egr @christianp @tao @marybourassa @mathequalslove @standupmaths @KarenCampe Hi friends and members of #mtbos and #iteachmath I need your help: I have a child and he needs to multiply. So in his school teachers teach him "multiply tables".

But I think in 21th century we could do better to memorize digit x digit tables.

Is there any method using only sums and counts and using ideally fingers to get \( a \times b \) without having to memorize?

You can justify using modulars forms of super-abstract-algebra if you want, but the problem is easy: find an east algorithm to get the multiplication of axb where a, b are interers < 9.

I did not find nothing more than:

- multiply by 9:

- multiply by numbers between 6 and 9

youtube.com/watch?v=xetE0IN-w3 but it requieres multiply by numbers less than 5.

- ypu can reduce to memorize all multiply tables to just \( a \times b \) where \( a <b \) which gives us just 55 lines of memorization instead of 100.

But this are not ideal result.

I CC some university professors because perhaps you know some research about that rather than regular secondary or primary teachers.

Thanks in advance and sorry for disturb you.

George Ellenburg (he/him/his)

#Biden was too old in 2020.

He even knew he was too old in 2020 because he told his followers who were concerned about his #age in 2019 that he only planned to be a one-term #President and be the "#bridge" between the old-timers in the party and the up-and-comers.

Then Biden's ego and hubris took over. Biden liked the taste of power and he wanted more.

I fully blame Biden at this point for #Trump being re-elected. Had Biden chosen NOT to run for re-election last year like he fucking promised ALL OF US that he wouldn't do back in 2020 then perhaps the #DemocraticParty would have had a chance to #primary and put forth a stronger #candidate.

Don't get me wrong, I love #Kamala #Harris, but the cards were stacked against her from the beginning.

So....

Fuck you, Joe.

Enjoy your retirement.

Things we wont have enough of, as it was in the first #primary after #pandemic: #handsanitizer, cleaning supplies, masks for those who want them. All got pitched earlier this year out of our supply cases. Despite the fact that it is always “seasonal”cold flu virus #COVID season march june and november. Thank goodness for #vaccines. This school gym has
Better ventilation than others I’ve worked. ?!

@bolson

agreed 100%

we can go deeper

the #GOP used to be ambivalent, even helpful about #rcv #rankedchoicevoting like alaska

but national #republican ghouls noticed the problem:

they are for #votersuppression, not enhancing our choices. and so they banned it:

npr.org/2024/06/05/nx-s1-49695

now the #democrats aren't exactly in love with rcv, but there has been successes: maine, nyc, etc

so we must vote #democrat and push them to install rcv. make it an issue in #primary elections #primaries2026
