 RantWoman is deeply grateful that young adults in India have a sense of humor and are having fun with the thoughtless ignorance of one of their leaders.

PS. Dear former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

You can't run to be President of the whole country if you go around calling half the electorate a "basket of deplorables." How many votes did you lose from that misstep alone?

Dear 2026 Midterm candidates, ALL OF YOU, talk about how you are going to WORK TOEGETHER and about real problems!

Takeaways:

Anyone who has been in the DRC affected areas in the last 21 days and who is already home should monitor symptoms. As with ANY possible hemorrhagic fever, do not just go to a walk in facility. Call your clinic or the CDC hotline for guidance.

Leonard Euler: famous blind person, among A LOT of other things.

 So there RantWoman was filtering long X / Twitter posts for connection to reality. Consider Leonhard Euler (umlaut needed). Besides being one of the most prolific mathematicians ever. Euler popped up on RantWoman's mind as someone who experienced progressive vision loss, seems to have had people he could rely on and definitely did not let a thing like Vision loss slow him down. First the X post and then a Wikipedia page, with references, for readers who might want to delve further.

Why should a mathematician keep a mistress as well as a wife?

It took RantWoman a couple tries and hits at suggested links to hit the right orthography.
