'nuff said ...
Time for a new variation on a classic.
okay this is the best one

My facial hair is now quite visible but not thick enough (yet) to look really good so I decided to shave.

It was bliss.

The typical gestures of shaving, the little scrrrtchhh sound of the razor, all these small things that I've seen men doing so often... now I'm doing them!

Happiness doesn't describe the feeling.
It felt perfectly right.
I felt perfectly myself.

And to think that it's something I'll have to do regularly definitely brings me a lot of joy!

MOVE was, without doubt, guilty of being annoying. They had occasional confrontations with police. There were unsanitary conditions. Their neighbors complained about them. But the response was a case study in wildly disproportionate overreaction that should never be forgotten as a cautionary tale of where militarization of local police leads.

A student I know has just posted this video with an intro explainer and visualizations of some homotopy groups. He has a different visualization of the Hopf fibration in particular, which I think is neat!
