The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

We calculated pi with colliding blocks YouTube video by Stand-up Maths

Happy π Day everyone! This year we collided some masses together.

In practise: youtu.be/vlUTlbZT4ig
And in theory: youtu.be/6dTyOl1fmDo

The corner of a whiteboard upon which is written a heading “π on the floor” and below it these instructions: using +,-,×,÷,( ) and the floor function, and as few π’s as possible, calculate all the whole numbers from 0 to 20.

I was asked to provide activities for Pi Day, so I put up “Pi on the Floor”.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

You may have encountered the so-called "see-say sequence" before:

1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221, 312211, 13112221, ...

where each term "describes" the sequence of digits in the previous term.

For example, 111221 consists of "3 1's, 2 2's, and 1 1."

I learned something new about it today.

Forced Resignations Are Illegal – 5 CFR § 715.202 states that federal resignations must be voluntary. An email implying "uncertainty of your position" while pushing resignation deadlines could be considered coercion.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
