In the last 24 hours, people here have gotten upset with me for using quotes ironically, mixing jokes with non-jokes, poorly defining street photography, and disrespecting at least one of the value of Pi, international calendar formats, or Europe (I'm not sure which).

Please send any future complaints to the dean, who will gladly commiserate with you.

@mattblaze Sorry to hear, friend. FWIW, I love your posts 😊
@mattblaze I am a spouse of a faculty member elsewhere and I completely understand your statement about the dean.

@mattblaze I don't know why they're complaining. You're clearly correct, as a simple mathematical proof illustrates.

Given a circle where 20 = 2πŸ₯§r,

10 = πŸ₯§ r => 10 / r = πŸ₯§.

As we're proving πŸ₯§ = 10. r must equal 1, which makes it a unit circle, which is mathematically important, so that makes it right.

Therefore, πŸ₯§ = 10.

@mattblaze So far as I can tell, ass_deans hasn't made the jump to Mastodon yet.
@mattblaze I think that disagreement is fundamental to evolution. But it unleashes its most powerful evolution amplification when it is managed in respectful ways. I have no complaints on your performance.
@mattblaze you were wondering why people follow you? 87.4% of the reason is exactly for this. You may not be reliable as a source of news but the schadenfreude is reliable.

@mattblaze

I vaguely remember somebody telling me once:

> One is not required to write only for the maximally literal-minded.

Sounds like it may apply here, too.

@mattblaze The dean of George Washington University will absolutely be hearing from me.
@curtosis George Mason, works equally well.

@mattblaze You sure take a lot of heat on here. I enjoy your sense of humor
