"... many of the most expensive purchases ...including multiple Star Wars-themed kits costing hundreds of dollars each.
“...Star Wars-related LEGO sets that constitute the high end,” Jennings explained. “But there’s also plenty in the middle range — $400 or $500 sets.”

Illustration on blue paper of a scene in space. There are two space ships in the center, one in pursuit of the other among stars and grasping clouds and toroidal shapes covered in a silvery iridescent lattice. Hatch shaded with white, silver and holographic paint.

I was sent a lovely little paper last June about visualizing elliptic curves over finite fields and you just know I had to draw about it. Anyway now it’s space and piracy is involved!
@aghastronaut.com - I thought I heard one too in S. Mpls.
I am not finding this post anywhere in the news. Please cite something besides a screenshot.
I find it inspiring and yeah I am envious also.
It's "Skinny Legs and All" by Tom Robbins all over again... except it's really happening.
A clear cup filled almost to the brim with copper pennies. The pennies are stacked randomly, making it difficult to count visually and prompting an estimation challenge.
A list of five calculus clues to find the total number of pennies. Clue 1: Upper Bound. The total is strictly less than g prime of 1, where g(x) = (10x^2)(5x^5 + 5). Clue 2: Lower Bound. The total is strictly greater than h prime of 0, where h(x) = (250x) / (2x + 1). Clue 3: Tens Digit. The tens digit equals k prime of 2, where k(x) = (7/4)(2x - 3)^2. Clue 4: Shared Factor. The total is a perfect multiple of f prime of 1, where f(x) = x^3 - (1/2)x^2 + 3x - 10. Clue 5: Hundreds Digit. The hundreds digit equals m prime of 0, where m(x) = (2x + 1)^3 / (3x + 1).
Bringing the classic "esti-mystery" to my Calculus class. Students make an initial guess of how many pennies are in the cup, then use derivative rules (power, product, quotient, chain) to narrow down possible values one clue at a time. #ITeachMath #MathsToday docs.google.com/presentation...

Over on Mathstodon, I follow an account that posts snippets from LOTR on the corresponding day. Today's was Theoden answering Saruman.
I guess Tolkien knew a thing or two about war ...

He experienced The Great War from build up to the trenches to armistice to WW2 and the cold war. His insights into both the grand and grotesque of war is deep.
Thank you for this reminder. I love his Christmas Letters.

Prepping for a whittle your own Dala Horse activity, decided to do some crayon sketching. Then decided to play with idea of "Blue Horses" by Franz Marc as an abstraction in art and math experiment...

I live in Minneapolis and get the sick feeling that US assassinating/kidnapping heads of states is a message to US mayors and governors.
And fill up dialogue with techno-babble like "power flux density energy strength."
An ICE detainee in Arizona has died of a TOOTH INFECTION after it went untreated for weeks, a local official says. He was a Haitian asylum seeker imprisoned in Florence, Arizona. @emilybregel.bsky.social reports.

Thanks for this. I am building the case for no LLMs at my day job. This training process is a clear violation of our vendor requirements to not harming vendor workers
Mine also.
That was my first guess too. Something retro.
20 second look on cellphone btw. Am I close?
No touch electric liquid soap/sanitizer dispenser? Wall mounted.
Hippy days carob revisit has been nice. Chocolate disturbs my sleep after 2pm.
Both ran little grocery stores during the Great Depression and let people buy food on credit.
Trying to imagine the looks on the faces of the people I worked with at Google in 2018 if you’d told them that in 7 years their flagship product would be sending users to commit terrorism at airports
and that no one will do anything about it

Two new videos on #topology 🍩 and #DeepLearning 🤖 just dropped:
- Part 1: youtu.be/p1GKAV0DAPI
- Part 2: youtu.be/_b19lhGRJmg
Both are part of my invited talk at the "OneMath World School 2026." Thanks for having me!
It doesn’t feel like Uman paints toward escape, but rather toward the world as she carries it: the loss of childhood Somalia, the landscapes of Upstate New York, and private interior terrains. Her work suggests finding home in places far from the land that first formed her.
Blue plate with spoon and tiramisu like dessert with a couple bites cut from it
Vegan Tiramisu-like treat. Soy vanilla yogurt with carob powder stirred in until stiff mousse kinda thing happens..
Stack graham crackers and layer with mousse. Cover with more mousse. Chill for a couple hours to soften crackers a bit.
"Delight shared is delights increased" - my mom. Maybe anonymously pay for someone's treat at a bistro. Then as below take that walk.
