It is kinda crazy just how frequently Devin Nunes sues people for defamation. And yet, he never wins. It kinda makes you wonder who's paying for all this...
It's too bad @DevinCow went back to Twitter...
In the "hat tiling" we can change the parameter 𝑥 to get Tile(𝑥), which is also an aperiodic monotile ( https://mathstodon.xyz/@csk/110058810967206467 ). But what if we try Tile(𝑧) where 𝑧 is a complex number?
That has a natural interpretation when the plane is considered to be the complex plane. However, while for 𝑥∈ℝ the tiling consists of Tile(𝑥) and mirrored copies of Tile(𝑥), for 𝑧∈ℂ, it consists of Tile(𝑧) and mirrored copies of Tile(conj(𝑧)). So no longer a monotile, but still cool and likely still aperiodic.
The animation includes cases where 𝑧 is too far from "the hat value" -- the tiles may overlap then.

Man this place feels so much calmer than twitter. Hope to meet some interesting people on here! #twittermigration #twitter
All I want is another hundred episodes of #Bones that's like the first few episodes, lots of vague sexual tension, the lady herself proudly enjoying her nerdiness, no stupid supervillian serial killers, just interesting case-of-the-weeks.
Maybe Bones and Booth come out as gay, Angela is bi and hooks up with both of them now and then (hilarity ensues), and various of Hodgins' conspiracy theories turn out to be (half) true, perhaps they go rogue and have a secret underground lab where they investigate cases too hot or surreal for the gov't to touch...
Or, you know, that sort of thing. :)

I found this thing buried in the woods behind my house! I THINK it might be a clothing iron without a handle? It’s VERY heavy though hollow.
I think the bottom says POTTSTOWN, PA USA. The top says IRON CO. But the name of the company is corroded.
That or it summons the Old Ones from soil and sea.
Any clues? Historians? Lovecraftian cultists? Any ideas on how to clean it up further?
If I didn't have a highschool degree, had zero track record in "AI," wrote a random harry potter fanfic, started a cult that worships me talking about my "high IQ," & talked about bombing data centers would I
A) Be called a "famous AI theorist"
B) What am I even talking about I'd be in prison before half of those things or
C) The FBI is right at my door right now with machine guns drawn?
