Just heard an interview on NPR with the CEO of StickerMule about his support for Trump. The CEO said heโ€™s upset that Trump supporters are being ostracized & demonized. #uspol #StickerMule
Okay then, Iโ€™ll start the dialogue:
How can you support a convicted sex offender who shows no remorse?
I have a lot of immigrants in my family. Trump called them poison. How can you support that?
Why do you think a criminal & liar who tried to instigate a coup should be President?

I would like to dream that the person interviewing him threw the paradox of tolerance back in his face but I suspect that didn't happen. *sigh*



Chinese startup Landspace has tested the first stage of its methane-fueled reusable rocket ZhuQue-3. It went up 10 km into the air and landed successfully, performing a vertical landing at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. ๐Ÿ‘

Public records are for anyone, not just journalists. You simply have to request them.

That cardboard box in your home is fueling election denial...

A boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country. propub.li/3TatVXT

I hope you'll do an article on how people -- and companies that still care about democracy -- can buy boxes made by companies that aren't trying to destroy it.


Had a little technical issue, but our recap of last week in Congress is live: govtrack.us/posts/441/2024-09-โ€ฆ

House isnโ€™t back for real work today; presumably they are tomorrow. 2 weeks left to get the government funded.



Investment managers with a combined $8 trillion in assets under management are urging the banks in their portfolios to eliminate deforestation from their lending and investment practices. The new guidelines call for banks to assess their ties to deforestation, set policies to reduce harm, and track their progress.

Facepalm:

"The area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides. It is written as aยฒ+bยฒ=cยฒ.

"One of the interesting things about this bedrock mathematical equation is that for 2,000 years, no mathematician has been able to demonstrate the truth of it without simply using the equation itself as proof; what is called circular logic, and not accepted as true evidence of proof.

"Johnson and Jackson reference Elisha Loomisโ€™s The Pythagorean Proposition, a book investigating this concept, which flatly states that โ€˜there are no trigonometric proofs because all the fundamental formulae of trigonometry are themselves based upon the truth of the Pythagorean Theorem,'"

in reply to Colin the Mathmo

"Calcea Johnson and Neโ€™Kiya Jackson from St. Maryโ€™s Academy in New Orleans said they had solved the Pythagorean Theorem using trigonometry"
...
"investigating this concept, which โ€œflatly states that โ€˜there are no trigonometric proofs because all the fundamental formulae of trigonometry are themselves based upon the truth of the Pythagorean Theorem,โ€™โ€"

That looks like circular reasoning to me, as well...

in reply to Christ van Willegen

@cvwillegen The whole thing is a mess. Trying to work out what is actually claimed about deficiencies of previous proofs is hard, and probably non-productive.

One day I might have a closer look.

Not today.
