Iran is mountainous

OpenAI led ground invasion of a place whose terrain looks like this will surely be a great success

Tweet on X by Amir Kiyae reads: Strikes on Iran appear to have hit the home where opposition leaders Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Zahra Rahnavard have been held under house arrest - both are reported safe, but their residence was damaged. Former President Ahmadineiad's home was also targeted. Israel has stated it is targeting Iranian leaders "past, present, and future." This follows previous Israeli strikes on Evin Prison. Draw your own conclusions,

Home of reformist opposition leaders from 2009 Green Movement, Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Zahra Rahnavard was also hit by Israeli/US strikes. They have been under house arrest by the regime for over a decade.

BREAKING — 51 Iranian children are dead after a strike hits Minab girls elementary school in Iran.

Haaretz @haaretzcom.bsky.social with Akevot @akevabanshee.bsky.social report on a trove of archival documents, with granular detail on atrocities committed in the 1948 Nakba. Ground level documentation by soldiers demonstrate the pervasive nature of murder and expulsion of Palestinian civilians.

I guess this is related to the fact that you run into cohomology naturally when studying infinitesimal deformations? I know that Goodwillie calculus gives a sense in which (parameterized) spectra form tangent spaces to an infinity topos. Does this specialize to deformation theory?

Ah Deutsche Bank. Its reputation for sleaze is so well-deserved.

Maybe it has something to do with the way things are structured into generic/robust phenomena vs degenerate/perturbation-unstable phenomena. I'm thinking about eg intersection theory and how passing to cohomology is like assuming transversality of intersecting representatives

Turkish Lentil Soup (Mercimek Çorbası) Turkish Red Lentil Soup (Kırmızı Mercimek Çorbası) is velvety, comforting, and nutritious! Plus, it’s so easy to make with lentils, veggies, and spices!

Hah! I literally just made the lentil soup (which I have been thinking about since I got back from Turkey lol). Here's the recipe I used. I'm eating it right now and it tastes exactly the same. I found the pul biber at whole foods ("silk chili") www.themediterraneandish.com/turkish-lent...

Exit polls show socialist Antonio Jose Seguro has crushed the Far Right candidate Andre Ventura in Portugal’s presidential runoff.

Thank God!! I was just there and saw all the racist "this is not Bangladesh" signs everywhere. Glad that piece of shit got stomped down. Portuguese people have always struck me as collectively very level-headed.

Now watch as the Dems cave on these demands one by one

As a recent PhD and adjunct teaching faculty at a public inner city college in the US I can attest that the general vibe is that of the musicians on the Titanic: we do what we can almost as an act of rebellion but we all know the ship is going down.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Sorry to derail the thread but these are really nice notes! Do you know if there is any connection between quadratic forms/grothendieck-(a certain nazi) rings and Clifford algebras/topological K-theory rings? Just because both involve quadratic spaces.
