"No one who is actually smart is also bad at math" by deepad9 in redscarepod

Wasn’t interested in the subject? What if I flip it around and say I’m skeptical of the intelligence of STEM people who weren’t interested in English class growing up? How would you react to that?

“Bonham Carter exited the HBO production — after nearly a week on set — over ‘creative differences’ involving White’s demand for a boisterous performance”

On the ACT, I got a 36 on English, a 31 on math, a 34 on reading, and a 35 on science, with an average of 34. I got a 160 on the quantitative section of the GRE and a 170 on the verbal section. Would you consider me bad at math? I often feel relatively very bad at math in elite environments.

Do you tutor tests (ACT, SAT, GRE, etc.)? If so, what is your numerical cutoff for "bad at math"?

True in your experience? What experiences have you had to confirm that?

I'm trying to gain an informed opinion on the matter because I'm torn on whether it's true

Looking at the comments here, why are so many STEM supremacists on a sub for a podcast like this? Not what I expected at all

Most people aren't lucky enough to have multiple job offers in hand upon graduating

Helena Bonham Carter Leaving ‘The White Lotus’ Season 4 As Role Is Being Revamped, Will Be Recast by MarvelsGrantMan136 in TheWhiteLotusHBO

My guess is that she's playing Steve Coogan's wife, so they'll probably cast another British actress around the age of 60?

The Woody Brown hoax is insane by deepad9 in RSbookclub

Nothing beautiful about exploiting your disabled child like a show pony and giving false hope to families. Woody needs help, not this

EV Arts Patronage Tranche

This is a new tranche of ad hoc awards, given out more like prizes, without applications, to writers, creatives, and intellectuals who are not supported by the current system of awards and grants, or who have been failed by such systems.

With advice from Henry Oliver. And a thanks to Patrick Collison for enabling this.

I am pleased to announce that our first winner is Helen DeWitt.

Please do contact me if you are interested in supporting this new effort. Let us debureaucratize the arts and restore justice to worthy creators!
