Hi. I'm Seth. I like you. Mathematics Educator. He/him/his. F+V-E=2. Baltimore, MD. I speak only for myself, not for any employer or professional association.

my flight home from Chicago was cancelled!

A coffee cup, approximately 48% full, fueling me at the NBI meeting. We're looking at them one at a time to recommend positions for our caucus.
Prayers on my desk. You can't read the 2025 NEA RA: MARYLAND DELEGATES link, but we've got a very large delegation. The first issue of RA TODAY is also here. Becky Pringle is on the first page, but with my glasses off she looks like the Fugitive Doctor.

Neil or Neil's a Bub is a fourteen-year-old Juggalo who Master Shake hires to teach him how to kill an angel. Once Meatwad and Master Shake create a massive car wreck by throwing a chunk of street curb into the middle of a road, a man who was killed in the diversion reappears before Shake as a vengeful angel. As revenge, the angel forces Shake to pay for his misdeeds, and if he refuses, the angel banishes him into a pit of fire and darkness for a few seconds, nicknamed the "Awful place". After Shake grows sick and tired of doing penance, he hires Neil, believing that he will offer useful advice on how to kill the angel. However, it turns out that Neil was only using Shake as his personal servant and chauffeur, and his advice does not work at all.
Little Lady was a tiny tiny black and white cat, with a pink nose and green eyes. She was sweet and quiet and very sick, and this is her yesterday at the vet. I miss her.
My Bluesky profile, with the he/him/his underscored. It's underlined in a bright red, because I'm talking with a foolish person who thinks that Baltimore burned down and that I'm a chick. I like chicks, I mean. They're super special, especially when they're witty and clever and gorgeous (like my brilliant and lovely better half). But I ain't one. Dumb people be dumb.
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy was a PlayStation 2 game originally released in 2001. The box cover shows Jax, an elfish fellow with pointy ears. On his shoulder his Daxter, who started out similarly humanoid but fell into Dark Eco and was turned into a weasel-like dude. I liked that this game had very little violence, but it had SO MUCH JUMPING and I just didn't care for that.
"@go #17" moves us, on LambdaMOO, into The Living Room. Here is its description: The Living Room It is very bright, open, and airy here, with large plate-glass windows looking southward over the pool to the gardens beyond. On the north wall, there is a rough stonework fireplace. The east and west walls are almost completely covered with large, well-stocked bookcases. An exit in the northwest corner leads to the kitchen and, in a more northerly direction, to the entrance hall. The door into the coat closet is at the north end of the east wall, and at the south end is a sliding glass door leading out onto a wooden deck. There are two sets of couches, one clustered around the fireplace and one with a view out the windows. You see Welcome Poster, a fireplace, the living room couch, Statue, a map of LambdaHouse, Fun Activities Board, Helpful Person Finder, The Birthday Machine, Cockatoo, and lag meter here.
From https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/malia-obama-usaid/ Malia Obama never made any such remarks, nor did USAID designate any grants, contracts or other money to her. This rumor originated from the America's Last Line of Defense network of Facebook pages and websites, whose owner for years said they publish "parody, satire and tomfoolery."

My attempt at tteokbokki. Rice cakes, fish cakes, sausage, in a spicy sauce, with scallion greens and sesame seeds as garnish.
The remains of a fierce battle lay scattered across the table. Empty bowls and plates, chunks of meat and vegetables, rice and sauces. There will be no prisoners.
