“Bobby Measles”. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Let’s make that nickname stick!

Hey, I recognize them! Congrats to all!

I disagree. This is definitely one of those times when I wish I genuinely believed in Hell.

Great video! Can you share the link to the other one you mentioned in ther, about the applicability of group theory within mathematics? (I looked for 1-2 min but didn’t find it.) Thanks!

The many, MANY, applications of group theory YouTube video by Alvaro Lozano-Robledo

Great short video by @mathandcobb.bsky.social on the applicability of Group Theory!

Thank you for sharing, I had not heard the news of his passing. So sad.

Hope you have some Unicum or pálinka to wash it down with. Egészségedre!

Me, sitting on my back porch, with a small glass of Unicum from a 200 ml bottle that I bought in Budapest in 2002.

Oh no, I’m too late for coffee. Would you accept a Hungarian apéritif selfie instead? Just this week only, I promise.

Even better! In Hungary, the surname comes before the given name. So it’s “Hungarian Peter”. 😂

These ads were all over the city. On billboards, bus stops, & cards. I can’t find digital evidence of any of them, and I’ve tried. My picture is from a physical card I brought home as a souvenir.

I just texted this to a former BSM classmate.

24 years later, this message is rich in irony.

Democracy was a fairly new concept. They were trying to get people to vote, by emphasizing that people from groups oppressed in communist times (in this case, members of the LGTB community), had the freedom to vote.

2/3

Hungarian political ad from 2002. Two women, not wearing a shirt, embracing with the slogan: “megyűnk szavazni, ÉS TE?”

Fun fact. Last time Orban lost an election as the incumbent, it was 2002. I was living in Budapest 🇭🇺, and the city was filled with 3-4 variants of this suggestive political “PG-13” ad.

“We are going to vote. AND YOU?”

1/3

Magyarország!!! 🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺

It’s not a poll, but the big jump was likely in response to one of the top pollsters (AtlasIntel) showing Orban being way behind.

The fact that the odds are as close as they are likely is due to the cheating risk baked in.

The first part is true. The second part is false. He’s just extract as much money as possible for his family and friends. Biggest corruption scheme in history.

I usually record a solution video, where I also discuss things like common errors, etc.

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois

Brutal.

8pm EST? I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that that’s precisely when after-hours trading ends?

There’s no I-50 anywhere. Or I-60 for that matter.

Wow, his French is so much easier for me to understand than any of those characters on Duolingo! 😂

Hey #MathSky! Now that we have a direct contact with the NYT Games Team, this is our chance to tell them about all of the legitimate math words that Spelling Bee won’t accept. If you remember any specific ones, reply with them here. Let’s make a list!

Omg, this is amazing! 🤩

I was shouting “Guinea-Bissau” at my TV! 😂

I loved the anecdote about your crossword streak. Right as you shared that, my wife turned to me and said: “omg, it’s so obvious that she’s a math professor!” 😂😂

You really couldn’t find a synonym for that 4th word, Scott?

I’m not sold that paying off an NYT photographer would even work, especially one as decorated as the guy who took it. Or that they’d even risk trying it. If that image didn’t exist, I would probably be all in on it being faked.

And here I am thinking that this was posted to make fun of Kristi Noel’s husband, whose face I just assumed was photoshopped in.

The one detail from Butler that I can’t explain away is the NYT photographer’s picture of the bullet by his ear. If it wasn’t for that, I would absolutely believe it were faked. But I just don’t see how that would have been done. I’m open to explanations if you have one…

But WHERE did you sleep last night?

That would be Donald Knuth
