There’s probably a mention of Go 8 Bit in there somewhere.

β€œHe’s in hell” is wonderfully undersold.

I’m rereading Agatha Christie’s Poirot, so loved seeing β€œtisane” show up in the wild.

I saw your show in Newfoundland.

Kissing the cod is a way to become an honorary Newfoundlander for those unlucky enough to have been born elsewhere.

Start applying for jobs before you’re ready; you can get ready. Publish as much as you can. It doesn’t count as proved until it’s LaTeXed. (Math only?) You can take breaks. Think about industry. Apply for everything - make them reject you. Invite stragglers to lunch at conferences.

If you are an LMS member, consider voting for me as a member-at-large of council.

I want to continue on council @londmathsoc.bsky.social - I've enjoyed my time and contributions (e.g. ed-comm, newsletter, sustainability), and want to continue and do more. Questions welcome in person or online!

For #FossilFriday, one of the oldest known animal trace fossils interpreted from the geologic record (~565 million years old) preserved as a tiny trail on a bedding plane at Mistaken Point, NewFoundland (Canada), investigated during a 2012 visit by our hero, Paleontologist Barbie. πŸ§ͺ🐾πŸͺ¨βš’️

I’m running the Superskrull game now, and my players are loving it.
