Grothendieck's idea that a fundamental group and a Galois group are the same thing never ceases to be mind blowing.

For this 4th, here's John Burt on the anguish of citizenship: "What we honor when we honor the Founders are the promises they could not keep, and we cannot keep either, but that we must keep, and must pass on to trouble our descendants in ways that have not yet occurred to us.”

I'm proud to be an algebraist, where at least I know I'm free.

1/ If I didn't have a day job, and I had sufficient funding to manage an open source project, I would turn Stafford Beer's ideas into open source software with the goal of creating a company (preferably a platform cooperative) ...

1/ If I had been the President of the USA for this Presidential term, the moment that I learned that the Supreme Court was considering altering the definition of Presidential immunity, I would have created a secret task force of advisors I trusted completely to explore the ramifications.

The Democratic Party has no good options because they opted to give the public no good options. This is a disaster of their own making and no one has a magic fix for the catastrophe they’ve created. That Trump could be so well positioned is an unthinkable failure of politics.

If you find a game on sale you're thinking of buying, but it has a bad business model, don't buy it. If the base game is $1.99 and you have to buy each character, or each world level separately, don't buy it. If you have to buy a season pass to get anything good out of the game, don't buy it.

In the anime series Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear, the protagonist is reincarnated into a fantasy world wearing a bear onesie and given magical bear-themed powers. Her costume has a bear puppet covering each hand, a white bear on the left hand and a black bear on the right, with which she can summon bears.

If Biden had a sense of self-preservation, he'd treat the Federalist Society the way the FBI treated the Black Panthers.

tonight is the 100th yahrzeit of yaakov yisrael de haan, the queer haredi poet and political activist who was murdered in jerusalem by the haganah (the proto-idf) for his active opposition to the establishment of a jewish ethnostate in palestine. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_I...

Crowdsourcing a math problem: Let's assume there are set maps f: A -> B and h: A -> C such that for any a1, a2 in A, f(a1) = f(a2) implies that h(a1) = h(a2). Does that force here to have to be a map g: B -> C such that h = g composed with f? If not, give a counterexample.

Does anyone have a good book recommendation for an intellectual history of Yugoslavia in the 1960s-1970s? Especially the Praxis Movement, left-wing neoliberalism (yes, that was a thing), and the creative scene around filmmakers like Dušan Makavejev?

Okay, no. I'm sorry. I know he has a tough seat, but Golden's op-ed needs to be called out. Democracy might be fine IF you fit a certain demographic. The rest of us? Yeah, it's not going to be great if Trump wins. www.bangordailynews.com/2024/07/02/o...

Donald Trump is going to win the election and democracy will be just finewww.bangordailynews.com “Democrats’ post-debate hand-wringing is based on the idea that a Trump victory is not just a political loss, but a unique threat to our democracy. I reject the premise.”

If you are disappointed with how Senator Dick Durbin has handled Justice Thomas' corruption, Justice Alito's open insurrection, and how each of the other four conservative justices lied in their Senate Hearings, you can fax him for free to let him know how upset you are with him.

I took a Google Cloud Platform training course before the current generative AI craze, and Google kept promoting its cloud as 100% carbon neutral. I'm guessing they can't say that anymore.
