So, El Fasher looks like one of the worst single event atrocities to happen this century so far, but the evidence has come in such a trickle it seems to only now be getting verified
At least 60,000 murdered in Sudanese city, which resembles ‘a slaughterhouse’
Satellite evidence shows extent of paramilitary massacre in El Fasher

• 42 hours gleefully deluded by an incorrect proof
• 30 hours assuming the wrong hypothesis
• 9 hours thinking about statements that ended up being equivalent to the Yoneda lemma

reading Eisenbud's Commutative Algebra is genuinely so pleasant that I feel like if I had discovered it at an earlier time in my life, I would've been much more inclined towards algebra

I honestly do so much math on WhatsApp. Overleaf I associate with misery, Discord likewise. Yet I love talking to my friends about math on WhatsApp... If every messaging service had inline LaTeX society would revolutionize... just imagine....

I get it, I get it, I get it, I see all the ways it is good, the many worked examples, the great intuition, conversational flavour, blah blah blah---I fucking hate Hatcher's Algebraic Topology

Tom Stoppard, playwright of dazzling wit and playful erudition, dies aged 88
A theatrical sensation since the 1960s, whose dramas included Arcadia, The Real Thing and Leopoldstadt, Stoppard also had huge success as a screenwriter
The playwright Tom Stoppard, whose playful erudition dazzled the theatregoing world for decades, has died aged 88.
One of a select band of writers from any discipline to earn his own adjective – “Stoppardian” – in the Oxford English Dictionary, he delighted in the most improbable juxtapositions: philosophy and gymnastics in Jumpers (1972); early 19th-century landscape gardening and chaos theory in Arcadia (1993); rock music, dissident Czech academics and the love poetry of Sappho in Rock ’n’ Roll (2006).

I think this is one of the weirdest nlab pages (which should be normal?) ncatlab.org/nlab/show/li...
like why are there no sources? why is the notation so all over the place?? what's happening

reading this paper on the Poisson zoo and I love my field so much. I love thinking about lattice animals and random walks and factor of iid processes. I love probability, the tools, the language, the objects studied and how we study them

I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

Okay this is embarrasing but I as a semi-mature probabilist only recently realized that the event {S_n = 0 infinitely often} is not in the tail sigma algebra (where S_n denotes a simple random walk, idk S_n = X_1 + ... + X_n for X_i iid centred e.g.). It is still in the exchangeable algebra though!

I can't tell if I love or hate the terminology of going up and going down. On the one hand, extremely transparent name for a property. On the other hand, asking "Does this ring hom satisfy going up?" sounds mildly ungrammatical to me
