"too many cowardly university leaders are responding to largely peaceful, outdoor protests by inviting law enforcement in riot gear to campus & condoning violent arrests. [They] are failing in their duty to their institutions, their faculty, their students, &... our democratic society. When university administrators limit when, where, and how free speech may be exercised, and require... applications for permission of... expression, they effectively gut the right itself."

In Defense of the Right to Free Speech and Peaceful Protest on University Campuses
The AAUP and its chapters defend the right to free speech and peaceful protest on university campuses, condemn the militarized response by institutional leaders to these activities, and vehemently oppose the politically motivated assault on higher education.

#SeniorFitness
It's been a couple of weeks since I did an update. I post these because I found #calisthenics four years ago on my way out (so to speak) of the E.R., and the sudden love saved my life — to use only a bit of hyperbole. (The cardiologist who did save me seems more …

Decline push-up Nos. 77-80 from my first set today. More at https://www.youtube.com/@MeFitYouFit, including details of my journey to fitness in my 60s following years of obesity and heart disease.

The #NewYorkTimes has been and will continue to be a far-right-wing rag in a business suit.
Please stop giving them your money or your attention.

Attached: 1 image The fucking Times. It follows up yesterday's awful poll with another. That they even asked this question is evidence of the bias--the agenda--in their poll. Who made age an "issue"? The credulous Times falling into the right-wing's projection. This is not journalism. Shameful.

Judge sanctions attorney who filed a utility patent lawsuit without any pre-filing analysis of the merits of the infringement claims.
The attorney said "he could look at the patents and just know they were infringed."
!!!
(That is not how this works. That is not how any of this works.)

"Here, the extensive evidence in this record demonstrates there was no claim analysis performed by Plaintiff’s Counsel before the Second Amended Complaint was filed. Mr. Ticktin’s proffered explanations are legally insufficient but even more problematic, his explanations appear to have been manufactured for the sanctions hearing and in, some instances, the moment. Mr. Ticktin’s explanation purportedly started with his having called a friend to advise on patent issues by leaning on the K&L Gates…

Graphs of bounded chordality
A hole in a graph is an induced subgraph which is a cycle of length at least four. A graph is chordal if it contains no holes. Following McKee and Scheinerman (1993), we define the chordality of a graph $G$ to be the minimum number of chordal graphs on $V(G)$ such that the intersection of their edge sets is equal to $E(G)$. In this paper we study classes of graphs of bounded chordality. In the 1970s, Buneman, Gavril, and Walter, proved independently that chordal graphs are exactly the interse…

Today I surpassed my count of push-ups for all of 2020 — when I started my calisthenics fitness adventure. I did 175 today, 84 in the first set. The last 26 were with parallettes.
I do decline push-ups now with a 29½-cm offset (elevation at the feet). I raised the offset in February after exceeding my target of two sets of 100 reps with the 11½ offset I us…

3-D bar chart of all push-ups since I started 1/1/2020, by year. I'm on track for well over 10,000 this year at the current rate.
Screenshot of video frame as I'm getting up from 84 decline push-ups in today's first set. As before, I want 100 or more reps in two sets. When I get there, I'll raise the foot elevation again. I lost 50 lbs in 2020 and ghosted my cardiologist (with his blessing) following emergency intervention that year.
