I learnt from these lecture notes (karagila.org/files/Forcin...), or for some intuition I think the preliminaries in the following thesis are great (etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/id/eprint/37...). I also second Kunen and the Chow paper being very canonical references!

For reasons I can't quite put my finger on I feel like I liked this play for some of the same reasons I liked lemons lemons lemons lemons lemons.

Blink was a super interesting watch! I have a tendency to really focus on form when thinking about things like this - both the overlapping monologues and the staging were very cool, very efficient writing. But, also undeniably viscerally emotional in a way I really enjoyed.

Was asked at a comedy show about valentine's stories and was reminded of the time my highschool boyfriend very badly forged Jacqueline Wilson's signature for me ๐Ÿ˜ญ Not made up my mind whether this was a red flag or not

Just gave a fun talk about some of Maddy's philosophy, very happy that I successfully had people arguing in the coffee room for an hour afterwards ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Currently on hour 1 out of 9 in Prague airport. I have talk slides to write for tomorrow, currently unsure whether this will be the best rehearsed talk in history, or if I'll emerge having read half of Wikipedia with 5 questionable podcast ideas.

E1:  Numberphile
E1: Numberphile YouTube video by Hope Duncan

New video about maths communication!
What makes Numberphile videos so effective? I analyse how these videos explain maths, and try talking about the Monty Hall problem in the iconic Numberphile style myself. @bradyharan.bsky.social

Truly I wanted to like it, and there were some really great moments, but honestly the sci-fi elements introduced towards the end really took me out of it. I think had I not gone in thinking of it as a sci-fi movie I might've enjoyed it more
