Let's see how long it lasts.
German Christian Democrats, #CDU #CSU, are utter opportunists & essentially anti-European. #Solidarity is not part of their vocabulary. If it fits their perceived needs, they flip on a dime: #Iran #IranWar & #Spain #Wadephul

Third day of buying in the US session. Yankees clearly more confident that it'll work out for them in #Iran than Asia & Europe. $SPX $SPY #ES_F (light blue horizontal = Friday's close):

Yes, independent discovery is the predominant lore, tho #Leibniz likely got the idea from Newton's letters, as shown by Hall/Hall. Our ๐ฅ๐บ/๐ฅ๐น notation, however, goes back to Leibniz. Notice also that Russell, ๐๐ณ๐ช๐ฏ๐ค๐ช๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ข๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ค๐ด, 1903, ยงยง 303 ff., described L's #calculus as 'extremely crude.'

Thoughtful remarks! Stumbled across the Mesopotamian barley trader, who 'happens to be the possessor of the first recorded name discovered by historians.' Might be true for historians, but would he really be the first individual w/ a name? Even #Orcas seem to give each other names...๐
Happy Sunday!

Should have said: #Leibniz 'very likely' stole the #calculus from #Newton... There's still some debate; those interested might take a look at:

Haha, sounds like a perfect judgment. Newton would have loved it, from whom Leibniz stole the calculus...

Please notice: #NYSE stock trading stops 4:00 PM ET (22:00 CET), #Globex futures trading begins Sunday 6:00 PM ET again (0:00 CET).
This is perhaps the window for possible strikes against #Iran. That's not to say it'll happen this weekend; it applies o/c to any weekend.

Home - Oodi
Oodi is Helsinkiโs new Central Library and a living meeting place. It will function as a living room for residents, located right at the heart of Helsinki.
I also recently heard about this interesting concept of Helsinki's new #Oodi #library, where you not only can read & borrow books, but which is designed as a central community space for people to 'hang out' for all kinds of social purposes.

๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ค'๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฐ ๐๐ข๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ซ๐ฒ carries a lot of weight throughoutโthey're certainly not great thinkers over on the bench.
Here's #Kavanaugh, dissenting. And again: If you're a law student, don't take these folks as role models. Try to think for yourself... ;-)

It sure makes pretty pictures; just looked it up: www.canon.co.uk/cameras/eos-... Was impressed by how sharp your photos are of these tiny flying folks (& as you can tell, I'm not a photographer myself... ;-).
A happy weekend from here!

That's what the Right is so concerned about (Gorsuch, concurring, p. 17). Presser just got started, btw

Note that the ruling is only 21 pages (excluding the Syllabus); the rest of the overall 170 pages is concurring & dissenting opinions #SCOTUS #trump #tariffs

YouTube video by Rick Beato
I'm Sick Of This AI SH*T
And while I'm at it, I've got to admit that above video is terribly amateurish, given what's apparently going on in the #music industry, particularly on #Spotify & the #AIslop there. Here's #RickBeato (via @antjeg.bsky.social).
That's it from me on this & a happy weekend all!
