If the Carolina Hurricanes score 4 goals in the 3rd period to tie the game I’ll get a stormy tattoo. Please, for the love god.

@HunterBiden @LysaStrataStyle @KarolineGosling Imagine a world where Donald Trump had a dad who was like Joe Biden. Did Trump *ever* get a hug growing up???

@CreesOnCBC Great job! #FutureNationalAnchor

Poor guy is really going through it. #skpoli #cdnpoli

@BleedOilBlue @bob_chin50 On CalgaryPuck (not the most unbiased of sources), they're calling McDavid the "GLOAT - Greatest Loser of All-Time." Going back to junior, Olympics, Cup finals x2, etc. etc. has never been able to put his teams over the top let alone team accolades like division champ, etc.

Many great hockey teams have called Saskatchewan home, but the province has never had an NHL team. That almost changed in the 1980s when the St. Louis Blues nearly moved to Saskatoon before the NHL put a stop to it. This is the story. 📸 CTV 🧵 1/8

Average Saturday night in Kelowna as 2 teens put a couch on two Lime scooters and get pulled over by police 😂 What’s the wildest thing you’ve seen on a Saturday night in Kelowna? 🤔💭

May the fourth be with you

How come comments are turned off?

The days are long enough to make one more stop. To take the long way. To decide as you go.

Darnell Nurse has 7 regular season goals this year and 0 playoff goals. He has also scored 5 own goals during the regular season and 2 own goal in playoffs. He now has just as many goals on his OWN net as he has on the opponents net this year. Insane.

@AllAbIntroverts I don't know - I'm an extrovert and this looks pretty damn good to me!

If you divide 1 by 998,001 you get all three-digit numbers from 000 to 999 in order, except for 998.

100 years of the five-day week is enough. Technology has moved on and it’s time the working week did too. The @4Day_Week isn’t radical anymore. It’s long overdue.

People don't realize how absurd this view actually is. A camera. On a robot. On Mars. Built by humans on a planet 140 million miles away, launched on a rocket, landed using a sky crane, and now driving across an alien desert taking pictures so detailed you can count the rocks. 100 years ago, your great-grandparents thought airplanes were a miracle. You are scrolling past Mars on your phone.

@WhiteHouse Pretty sure I recognize the “King” on the right…

@Franky_82 No one would admit this. But I suspect the respective reactions of the Ducks and Oilers players on the ice may have played a role in the call by the refs.

@sarobertsonca They're not laughing with you, they're laughing around you.

An MIT professor taught the same math course for 62 years, and the day he retired, students from every country on earth showed up online to watch him give his final lecture. I opened the playlist at 2am and ended up watching three of them back to back. His name is Gilbert Strang. The course is MIT 18.06 Linear Algebra. Every machine learning engineer, every data scientist, every quant, every self-taught programmer who actually understands how AI works learned the math from this one man. Most of them never set foot on MIT's campus. They just opened a free playlist on YouTube and let him teach. Here's the story almost nobody tells you. Strang joined the MIT math faculty in 1962. He retired in 2023. That is 61 years of standing at the same chalkboard teaching the same subject to 18-year-olds. The interesting part is what he did when MIT launched OpenCourseWare in 2002. Most professors were skeptical. They worried that putting their lectures online would make their classrooms irrelevant. Strang did not hesitate. He said his life's mission was to open mathematics to students everywhere. He filmed every lecture and gave it away. The decision quietly changed how the world learns math. For decades linear algebra was taught the wrong way. Professors started with abstract vector spaces and proofs about field axioms. Students drowned in the abstraction. Most never recovered. They walked out believing they were bad at math when they had simply been taught in an order that nobody's brain is built to absorb. Strang inverted the entire curriculum. He started with matrix multiplication. Something you can write down on paper. Something you can compute by hand. Something you can see. Then he showed his students that everything else in linear algebra eigenvectors, singular value decomposition, orthogonality, the four fundamental subspaces was just a different lens for understanding what the matrix was actually doing under the hood. His rule was strict. If a student could not explain a concept using a concrete 3 by 3 example, that student did not actually understand the concept yet. The abstraction was supposed to come last, not first. The intuition was the foundation. The proofs were just confirmation that the intuition was correct. The second thing Strang changed was the classroom itself. He said please and thank you to his students. Every single lecture. He paused mid-derivation to ask "am I OK?" to check if anyone was lost. He never used the word "obviously" or "trivially" because he knew exactly what those words do to a student who is one step behind. He treated 19-year-olds learning math for the first time the way he treated his own colleagues. With patience. With respect. With the assumption that they belonged in the room. For 62 years. The result is something that has never happened in the history of education. A single math professor became the default teacher of his subject for the entire planet. Universities in India, China, Brazil, Nigeria, every country with a computer science department, started telling their own students to just watch Strang's lectures. The University of Illinois revised its linear algebra course to do almost no in-person lecturing. The reason was honest. The professor said they could not compete with the videos. His final lecture was in May 2023. The auditorium was packed with students who had never met him before. He walked to the chalkboard, taught for an hour, and at the end the entire room stood and applauded. He looked confused for a moment, like he genuinely did not understand why they were cheering. Then he smiled and waved them off and walked out. His written comment under the YouTube video of that final lecture was four sentences long. He said teaching had been a wonderful life. He said he was grateful to everyone who saw the importance of linear algebra. He said the movement of teaching it well would continue because it was right. That was it. No book promotion. No farewell speech. No legacy management. The man whose teaching is the foundation of modern AI just thanked the audience and went home. 20 million views. Zero ego. The entire engine of the AI revolution sits on top of math that millions of people learned for free from one quiet professor in Cambridge. The course is still on MIT OpenCourseWare. Every lecture, every problem set, every exam, every solution. Free. The most important math course of the 21st century is sitting one click away from you. Most people will never open it.
