Kingdom s1e2 // Hey, look at me, man. I'm not laughing. Hey.

Kingdom (2014) s01e02 Episode Script | SS:

// Ryan with his roommate who is crying & tearing up room upset bcs sth missing //  
It's a bear key chain.  - Okay.  - And I know it's funny to you guys, but -  Hey, Keith, look at me, man. I'm not laughing. Hey.
W-where's the last time you had him?  Huh?  -  [Sobbing]  It it was in here.  Like it always is. -  Great. Okay, so we'll search in here.  Without fucking everything up. And then we'll expand the perimeter / aw / and then - [sniffling] - Hey, if somebody stole him, I'm gonna get him back for you.  Don't worry. He'll turn up. [Sighs] Okay. All right. - Thanks, Ryan.


// Alvey at gym, coaching //
Always moving. No mistakes. The only mistake is to stop moving. You're thinking. You're thinking. Something doesn't work, don't get stuck. Don't stay there. I see you guys get frustrated a little bit because you want the triangle or you want the fucking armbar. It doesn't matter. You keep moving. Every move has a twin. For every move, there's a countermove. We get 'ffed on one move, we go to the twin.  We get 'ffed on that move, we go back to another twin.  Like water.  Always transitioning.   Good.  Good, good, good.
Any questions? Smile.  I want everybody to smile.  This is fun.  We're having fun.  [Laughs] All right. See you tomorrow.

____
reasons tatiana maslany deserves the emmy She plays almost the entire cast of characters on Orphan Black. And does it flawlessly. She completely transforms into her characters. She thinks of every detail, right down to individual unique laughs. Her cast mates are in awe of her. She often has to act opposite herself.
She’s representing all sorts of women and communities. /along w Sarah, Alison, Cosima, Helena  also Katya, Rachel, Krystal, Tony

.. asullivan - readers' write in re favorite moments of his blog

***    Your Moments Of Dishness Feb 6 2015 @ 11:00am readers re favorite moments, incl personal - his wedding, his dogs -  and writings.


Your piece defending Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich, “The Quality of Mercy“, changed me.  As someone who is young, queer, liberal, and growing up in San Francisco, this piece was the first one to push me to shed my dogmatic approach to those who disagreed with me. A movement won through understanding is such a testament to human empathy and I’ve since taken on the challenge of become a more open person. Since then, I’ve been able to learn so much because I’ve made myself an active yet vulnerable participant in a conversation instead of a bully.

There are always going to be social pressures that favor or disfavor certain views. What about a gun control enthusiast in rural Texas? Or a pro-choicer in Mississippi?
My view – and I don’t see how Rod [Dreher, at theamerconservative] can have ignored it – is maximal respect for sincerely held opinions. Just as many conservatives over the years have politely acknowledged without endorsing my marriage, so I politely acknowledge the convictions of Christianists, and seek dialogue with them.
...But the hysteria and self-pity among those who, for centuries, enjoyed widespread endorsement for the horrible mistreatment of gay people really is too much. The victimology that was born on the left is now alive and whining on the right.
 ..When I basically told gay people to stop thinking of themselves as victims and start thinking of themselves as equal citizens – one part of the case for putting military service and the right to marry at the forefront of the movement //was his argument to campaign for specific rights, rather than? ~ *against* discrimination ie lodging complaints?   – there were howls of derision. ..
In the end, one begins to wonder about the strength of these people’s religious convictions if they are so afraid to voice them, and need the state to reinforce them. Which is one more reason why the decline of Christianism makes the rebirth of Christianity a more exciting prospect. Liberated from the state and social support, Christians may have to become what they once were: outsiders, prophets, the salt of the earth.

his goodbye to the dish
A Note To My Readers   Jan 28 2015 @ 1:00pm   // going to stop blogging | You were there when it was just me and a tip jar for six years, and at Time, and at The Atlantic /my main time of reading/, and the Daily Beast /saw he had moved there ~ newsweek/, and then as an independent company.

The Long Game Of Barack Obama Feb 5 2015 @ 12:02pm
Perhaps the prevailing theme of this blog these past seven years has been the hope and promise of the Obama presidency
I’ve long insisted that his record will only be fully understood after eight years, that his role as the liberal Reagan of our time could not be glimpsed fully in real time – the only time a blog can function in – but needed some perspective. I’m sure in the future I will write an essay on all this, but I owe you my current state of mind before I bid farewell tomorrow.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrational_number
As a consequence of Cantor's proof that the real numbers are uncountable and the rationals countable, it follows that almost all [In mathematics, the phrase "almost all" has a number of specialised uses which extend its intuitive meaning] real numbers are irrational.[1]
l.[1] Cantor, Georg (1955) [1915]. Contributions to the Founding of the Theory of Transfinite Numbers. New York: Dover.   //that is bk we read at sjc, rt?  so I prob own?  or was dffrnt Cantor re number.    

Cantor's proof
Cantor's diagonal argument, also called the diagonalisation argument, the diagonal slash argument or the diagonal method, was published in 1891 by Georg Cantor as a proof that there are infinite sets which cannot be put into one-to-one correspondence with the infinite set of natural numbers.   //wh are thus ~greater than?   can compare amounts of one infite set to another? 
(y I think so.  was getting that.  fr thinking re irrational numbers.  more of than rational.  in set of real.) 

are uncountable
an uncountable set (or uncountably infinite set)[1] is an infinite set hat contains too many elements to be countable.  
/mm. ok so y. can compare.  like ~ infinite in more ways.  a countably infinite set goes on forever.  and perhaps as here in two directions, positive and negative rational numbers.  infinite in extension. 
*and infinitely divisible, right? can always divide in half.  then express as ratio = rational.  = any number can be expressed as ratio of integers.  no?  keep dividing in half takes into irrational ?  (if infinitely divisible then how can count? right?





ALMOST ALL REAL NUMBERS ARE IRRATIONAL. 
real numbers are uncountable. 
rational numbers are countable.        
                              _________  
        uncountable - countable =  almost all    // is that so?  seems like wld be, but hv to articulate.
