4 years ago today i made six predictions about the trump presidency. i am happy to say that i was wrong about infant mortality, which has declined. that said, i had no idea how awful and scary this period would be. i am optimistic that things are getting better.
my 6️⃣ predictions for the @realdonaldtrump presidency. spoiler alert: short term solutions to all problems. i #hope to be entirely wrong.

An animation for @cs_kaplan's #SwirledSeries art project, with @SaulSchleimer. Here we fly through a cohomology fractal that happens to contain a checkerboard. You can explore it at henryseg.github.io/cohomolog… (Open controls, go to the "cool examples" census, and choose "t12047".)

can you imagine what the #covidquarantine would be like WITHOUT video chat, streaming media services, social media, online shopping and the ability for more people to work from home? overall #tech has been a mixed bag, but right now it's making my life much better.

I went to my local Costco today and replaced the signs for sold out items like toilet paper and bottled water with signs for magical items like: health potions, dowsing rods, tarot decks, summoning orbs, soul gems, healing crystals, and invisibility amulets. 🧻—>🔮

do you need a name randomizer for a holiday gift exchange? i built one in @observablehq here: observablehq.com/@trebor/sha… i used a static random seed, so the order is fixed between runs, and nobody will be assigned to give a gift to themselves.
