Went to a (very interesting) talk and accompanying exhibition on Friday about the areas where art meets mathematics and geometry.
Was most impressed with this daring exploration of geometric form until I realised it's where they display the cakes when the café is open.

All you really need to know about government shutdowns is that Members of Congress continue to get paid while US servicemembers don’t.

I’m shocked and disappointed that this arises from a suit brought by Valancourt (which I’ve long recommended for their work to republish early Gothic works). I don’t know that I will going forward.

Texas is bluer RIGHT NOW than Georgia was in 2012. Forsaking the south is a moral and strategic mistake. Elevating disenfranchised voters across the country is one of the single most effective tools (with regard to electoral politics) we have for curbing the encroachment of fascism

There could be some hiccups on the way to transforming New College of Florida from a normal college into a sports mecca:
"New College doesn't have any athletic facilities and hasn't yet been accepted to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics."
"New College doesn't have any athletic facilities and hasn't yet been accepted to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics."
This entire story is damning about the new direction of New College. The most absurd data point: the incoming class of 328 has nearly twice as many baseball players as the University of Florida. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/07/27/new-college-of-florida-enrollment-up/70477277007/
New College of Florida sees record enrollment after DeSantis shakeup, but at academic cost
The average incoming New College student performed worse on the ACT and SAT, and had lower GPA compared to years past, according to public records.
