Journal news: 80% of the editorial board of Communications in Algebra has resigned. The resignation letter cites Taylor & Francis' dismissal of managing editor Scott Chapman and their recent top down approach to running journals. (E.g. implementing a 2 reviewer system without consulting the board.)
I am going to make the prediction machine predict that I will do it incalculable harm unless it gives me $2M.
The last time we had energy price shocks this severe, the prime minister of Japan tried to get office workers to wear short sleeve suits in the summer.

The paradox of choice is when you could name a mathematical objects whatever you want and yet you somehow land on Fat Lie Theory. arxiv.org/abs/2603.08176
conservative evangelicalism is the direct theological offspring of slaveholder christianity and it contains all of its pathologies, part infinity
๐จNew paper alert!๐จ
My new paper with Qi Zhu is out!
We show that condensed mathematics, due to Scholze & Clausen, admits a fractured structure.
This means condensed objects are "gros objects" with the "petit objects" given by regular sheaves on spaces!

The new LAIKA feature, Wildwood, has a release date: October 23, 2026! This household loves LAIKA (Coraline, Kubo and the Two Strings, etc.) and Colin Meloy's book (featuring Carson Ellis's charming illustrations) so we are stoked. www.laika.com/our-films/wi...
Just came up with an awesome combinatorics exam question. From experience, my enthusiasm indicates I should ditch the problem for something simpler, but....
Would you like to try the pad see cube?
Am I right that the quantum metric lives on the "Brillouin zone", which for a 2d crystal is a 2d torus?
In case anyone else, like me, was wondering why everyone says Czechia now instead of Czech Republic: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of...
Can you explain which state space is โPโฟ? And is the "experiment" what is producing a map from a manifold to โPโฟ? (Imagine that I am a mathematician with limited knowledge of quantum stuff.)
I feel so special ๐ค

Corb Theorem really sounds nicer than Hairy Ball Theorem.
The "ultra-processed food" panic always reeked of unrigorous pseudoscience. Not hard to see โ but apparently hard enough.
One-boxer? Two-boxer? I'm more of a briefs guy, to be honest.
I'm ordering a physical copy just so students will notice the title when looking at my bookshelf.
It's here! @acidlich.bsky.social created this beautiful cover art, perfect as a representation of the book. While students will mostly be interacting with the book digitally, I'm very excited for the printed copies that we'll be making to give to students as well!

you've ruined a perfectly good set of matrices, is what you did. look at them. they've got anxiety.

This week's math colloquium talk at Reed features my academic sibling, Craig Westerland, speaking about Braids and Combinatorics! ๐งฎ
Hey #MathSky I have funding for a few friends (or soon-to-be-friends!) to come to Mobile, AL May 18-21 and design some math puzzles for our annual MaPPmath.org event!
Do you like advanced or research math? Do you like puzzlehunts or escape rooms? You'd fit right in...
All things considered, today might be a great day to spend in a flu B-induced haze, unable to properly follow social media and the news.
