Banff was reasonably picturesque tonight.

I finally finished making an audiobook for Rethinking Disability and Mathematics. Only two years late! Hurrah! I also made some resources to go with it, like Math Homework (a printout with all the math problems in the book to use before you listen or read) ♾️

That sucks. But also, swingeing campuswide cuts will always get you before your colleagues hold an improvised trial

Our department is shrinking too, retirements not replaced etc. but my experience has been that the small department fosters solidarity, we all usually stick up for each other, will you have colleagues of some sort?

That sucks

I think I always figured there was someone else who that would happen to first so I'd get worried more if and when it happened to them. Then I got to a department where I feel like we're mostly pulling in the same direction

I'm not sure it went away, I just thought less about it. Tenure meant job security and stability for our family more than professional status for me

I mean, agree completely on your point. What I hear now is more that they're glad someone took one off City back then. There's a chance City win the league this year and again for the next 4 years, and if that happened, we might look back and think it'd have been nice if someone else won one

Keep seeing "City might eventually face consequences" as a reason for rooting for them over Arsenal. Root for who you want, but do we believe actual consequences are coming? Been talking about them for so long it seems to me like it's a narrative that serves City more than anyone else

The background noise about City possibly being stripped of some titles and/or relegated also helps them by making it seem like even less of a big deal if they win another

Get on the perfectly weighted pass from Gakpo though #LFC

social media is like math in that I feel like the people making genuinely original content are on acid

But also: Carlsen gave up being World Champion because it was too much work. Ding and Gukesh seem to have had a bad time since winning the title. Hard to get excited about who's going to be the next challenger to try to take what seems to be a poisoned chalice #chess

We buy the packs with various flavors and the kids only eat the vanilla ones. Absolutely love them

@ activia how many of these bad boys can a 4 year old eat in a day? If it matters the 4 year old is an absolute unit

some things about becoming a parent are radicalizing in ways I expected - e.g being reminded viscerally how screwed we'd all be if childcare and other care work disappeared. but other things are radicalizing in ways I didn't - like experiencing constant spontaneous solidarity in ways big and small

Watched a bit of the Candidates Tournament but mostly it just reminded me that there don't seem to have been many consequences for what happened to Daniel Naroditsky #chess
