A poster on 8.5 x 11 inch paper saga Fishtown fish facts: red lipped catfish or of ocephalus Darwini. Then a pic of that freaky fish with 4 limbs it rests on the ground and then the words “stg this fish real red-lipped batfish walk ocean floor with they flippers RLBF have RBF, not they fault RLBF have a bioluminescent lure that glows to attract dinner RLBF lipgloss is popping, RLBF lipgloss is cool, all the fish keep jockin, they chase RLBF after school RLBF got scales like armor and shine bright like a diamond Red-lipped batfish will teach you how to dougie, I can promise u that. @yaboyni Take a moment And and realize the moment You took has already passed Thank you See you next time

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

Figure 6. The quotientope lattice for n = 4: all quotientopes ordered by inclusion (which corresponds to refinement of the lattice congruences). We only consider lattice congruences whose fan is essential. We have highlighted the cube (green), Loday’s associahedron [Lod04] (blue), another one of Hohlweg–Lange’s associahedra [HL07] (purple), the diagonal rectangulation polytope [LR12] (orange), and the permutahedron (red). Adapted from [PS19, Fig. 9].

I AM ONCE AGAIN TAPPING THE SIGN.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

The family of a Colombian man believed to have been killed in a US strike in the Caribbean has filed what’s believed to be the first complaint against such attacks with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR).

I want to devote my life to them

Night-time photo of a bushbaby on the trunk of a small tree, looking directly at camera. It's brown and furry and looks similar to a squirrel. But it's a primate, which explains the Afrikaans name "nagapie" - "little night monkey". (Pic by a friend in the Lowveld)

On an unrelated note: the nagapies are out

Cyber Monday is here and deals are going fast! These deals are diaphanous. They are receding even as we speak, becoming mere memories of deals, prices longed for but lost, hints at what could have been had for less. A golden slant of sun through window falls on an empty countertop. Act now.

Oh ok - I would quit as a matter of principle anyway but I guess as I don't have to support a family I have the luxury of living by a code

Flow chart from TX Tech memo showing that most class materials must be reviewed by chair, dean, and provost, and that all curricular material must be disclosed

TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.

Removing all content from my calc 3 class because it's not necessary for any professional license. Guess we can all stay at home? Mission accomplished?

Ah ok so the idea is you're just happy to have an ample line bundle at all? I forgot that not all varieties are projective. But if a variety is projective you always get lots of ample line bundles right? Or does it have to be smooth and projective?

Is there any intuition for what's so special about Fano varieties? All I vaguely know is "they have lots of lines in them"

Okay bear with me. My amazing friend Robyn (@haykebyr.bsky.social) did this amazing image based on my stupid ass joke. It's Miss Piggy photoshopped into some Sister of Battle armour, with the white bob haircut and a fleur de lys tattoo on her cheek and everything. Except she's got pink satin gloves on. The caption is "In the Grim Darkness of the Far Future there is Only Moi" because that's the whole joke. Thank you.

I know a lot of footage and commentary is swirling about today but it’s important to convey that the people who gathered outside that ICE garage in lower Manhattan were *so* ten toes down focused.

This person who gets maced and just calmly flips the bird & keeps going is *quintessential.*

Ah yes the Truth

Yep, citibikes are so expensive that they might as well not exist. We should be encouraging people to ride bikes instead of driving cars but for a non member a bike ride can be comparable to a taxi. Yet another example of how everything in this city is specifically designed for rich people.

Definitely seeing this on the math side of things. Students are just checked out. To be fair, professors are too. It just feels like there's nobody home.

The thing about those summary executions by the IDF in Jenin was how totally routine it looked. There was no anger or excitement, no "fog of war". After calmly executing the men they brought down the structure on top of them, perfectly choreographed like they had done it a thousand times.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a spoken directive, according to two people with direct knowledge of the operation. "The order was to kill everybody," one of them said. A missile screamed off the Trinidad coast, striking the vessel and igniting a blaze from bow to stern. For minutes, commanders watched the boat burning on a live drone feed. As the smoke cleared, they got a jolt: Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack - the opening salvo in the Trump administration's war on suspected drug traffickers in the Western Hemisphere — ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth's instructions, two people familiar with the matter said. The two men were blown apart in the water.

Hate to be posting this on a holiday, but there's been renewed interest in the CIA-backed Zero Units in Afghanistan. Here's a good summary of @propublica.org's 2022 reporting on the units and just some of the civilian casualties they were responsible for:
