Here are all the lighthouses of the Northern Seas, each light is the right color, each turns or pulses at the right frequency, and is scaled with its brightness. You can also see how far they are visible.

I had Claude Code build this by giving instructions in English: lighthouse-atlas.netlify.app

Hi NE Queens and Long Island!

It's a gorgeous day here in Fort Totten, and @aengelnyc.bsky.social and I are here collecting signatures to get in the ballot (we won't sell your data)!

We can't have better leaders without primaries.

The number of non-equivalent distinguishing coloring partitions of the path on n vertices (n>=1) with exactly k parts (k>=1). Regular triangle read by rows: the rows are indexed by n, the number of vertices of the path, and the columns are indexed by k, the number of parts.

I just want to make sure that everyone knows Trump's war of choice in Iran is costing us $900 million a day according to the latest figures

Not $900 a day, not $9,000 a day, not $90,000 a day, not $900,000 a day, not $9 million a day, not $90 million a day

$900 million a day

Headline: Trump Wants to β€˜Take Over’ Elections. These States are Prime Targets.

Subheadline: President Trump thinks Republicans should control voting procedures in parts of the United States. But where? Here are some possibilities.

No mention in the headline/subhead that Trump’s takeover plot is wildly unconstitutional.

The story is better & discusses GOP election subversion but still doesn’t note a fed takeover is unconstitutional (or that NC’s GOP takeover attempts were ruled illegal until they flipped the NC Supreme Court)

Check out this multiplication chart drawn to scale from Anthony at The Chalkface! This version is so much more intuitive.

Comprehensive presentation of the "Theorem of the Day", starting with a statement of this theorem.

Singmaster’s Binomial Multiplicity Bound : For integer k > 1, let N(k) denote the multiplicity of k as a binomial coefficient; i.e. N(k) =∣{(n, r) ∈ Z^2 : k = "n choose r"}∣. Then N(k) = O(log k).

The argument principle, made visual. Drag the zeros of a cubic and watch the image curve wind around the origin, each zero inside Ξ“ contributes exactly one winding.

I teach a class for first year college students and the student population is similar. They learn about "function-sense" by creating mathematical art in Desmos that they render on an Axidraw pen plotter. Lots of engagement and many ways to give challenges to more advanced students.

Mamdani Deputy Mayor On Charging For Street Parking: 'It's Not a No' - Streetsblog New York City Dean Fuleihan said on Thursday that the city is discussing charging fees for currently free on-street parking.

NEW: Mamdani's City Hall is discussing charging fees for currently free on-street parking β€” a policy change that would not only create a new revenue stream but also seize a once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve the streetscape. buff.ly/9C0Iq34

Mamdani's office circulated this list of revenue proposals in recent days after some lawmakers complained they still weren't sure exactly what he was asking for.

Besides income + corporate tax hikes, it includes a property tax surcharge on homes over $5M and a bigger mansion tax

Math curriculum includes: cartesian coordinates, transformations, understanding operations visually (+-*/ & composition), polar coordinates, standard/implicit/polar/parametric functions, and if there's time, linear interpolations and MΓΆbius transforms.
