Lyrics from “Straight Line Was a Lie” by The Beths: And the straight line was a circle Yeah, the straight line was a lie

When I take a walk on the torus

My two favorites I read last year:

The Spear Cuts Through Water - Simon Jimenez

Asunder - Kerstin Hall

Problematic spectral gap

“I think [plausible-sounding name] has thought about this”

Do you have a link to this critique?

In math I’ve heard it said that the game is to give something the absolute worst possible name so that it’s easier to just name it after you

Spent a disproportionate amount of my childhood listening to discussions/arguments about whether tithing is based on net or gross income

We had both this and “A days” and “B days” (four classes each day)

So you could have first lunch on A day and second lunch on B day or whatever

I think I agree but “lawyers think it’s smart to pay them for services” isn’t exactly convincing

On the train home, lady says to her husband “we could take the train to [theater], where it’s hard to park.”

Why do cops have horses??

Sign: “Mexicana y Americana. Both live in my 💕”

Kid in a stroller with sign “It’s time to use our outside voices”

Sign that says “I drink my horchata warm cuz fuck ICE” hell yeah

On the bus going to a protest and there’s a guy with a Haley 2024 shirt lol

Guy who wants ban on intra racial marriage

Something I’ve wondered about: At what point in the development of a field should someone sit down and write a survey article on it? I have some vague answers but haven’t tried to hammer out a solid one

And no I’m not organizing my Overleaf on a Friday night what could give you that impression??

BNS INVARIANT WHAT’S GOING ON? MAXWELL PLUMMER

Ok I was cooking here.

Overleaf document titled “Why I can’t prove [Theorem] right now” that quickly devolves into an attempted proof of [Theorem].

Do this please! It’s literally just leaving a comment. You can do it anonymously.

Starshine’s post modified to say: if youre one of those “graduate students” or “phd candidates” just know i judge you

Petition to refer to annuli as washers

Funny that this is the only time the word washer has ever come up in my math education.

NIMF (Not In My Feed)

I think if you think about more general bundles it does make more sense to think of the base space as the one being extended. Certainly for a circle bundle over a surface I don’t want to think about that as extending the circle…

Wait actually I just realized I convinced myself that the opposite convention is correct.

Oh I had this draft sitting for too long and someone has said it better
