What mistake has happened in my phone to make it tell me the sun is going to go down at 12.36pm in Dundee today?!
All the other locations are showing the normal depressing time of 4.30ish!

The @ima-maths.bsky.social seems quite proud they invited BAE to speak at their conference.
I am so so disappointed that an institution which normally funds sweet creative maths projects and supports maths communities has chosen to platform BAE Systems which produces munitions used in genocide.

I don’t think that @ima-maths.bsky.social should be inviting speakers from BAE Systems to speak at their conference when BAE manufactures weapons which are used by Israel in the ongoing genocide in Palestine.
That sounds like Maths being complicit to me.

I can’t quite explain it but something about describing a country’s birth rate in “births per woman” feels really misogynistic.
(As well as the obvious erasure of NB n trans peeps who give birth)

Well this is fun. The Met Office are taking suggestions for new storm names.
Sure would be a shame if we named them BigOil, BP, Equinor, Exxon, and Shell 👀 www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-o...

I misread this and wondered why not a single person in the comments was talking about the shoegaze/post-hardcore/chip-ish band ✨Idiot Pilot✨ who were my absolute jam circa 2005
![Wikipedia definition of "idiot plot": In literary criticism, an idiot plot is one which is "kept in motion solely by virtue of the fact that everybody involved is an idiot",[1]: 26 and where the story would quickly end, or possibly not even happen, if this were not the case.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6waxgers6k753hgsmh2prmv7/bafkreicwreql25fxq3hliczfe3pgz6djdjbrvwbax2d2oyevjm73tb3voy@jpeg)

Spent my 12345th day on Earth processing sea grass for a re-wilding project at Loch Craignish. It was awesome!
All the sea grass is safely planted now and hopefully soon there will be a sea grass meadow habitat 🌱🦀🦭🦑🌊

And look at what my van did in celebration (an hour and twenty early) 🚙
I don’t remember being 1, 12, 123 or 1234 days old and I probably won’t make it to 123456 days - so it’s time to celebrate!! 🌈💗✨

I desperately need there to be a word for when a meal is the best you’ve ever tasted, not because of the actual food but because of the circumstances in which you are eating it.

The anti-immigrant crowd are planning some get together in Dundee on Saturday so if you want to show them that racism and fascism isn’t welcome then come along and take up the space :)

Cool question!
Minimum understanding: someone can talk me through it and I go “ah I see” but I probably won’t remember it
Full understanding: I can be the person explaining it to someone else
Deep understanding: I can connect it to other areas of maths and get the same thing from different views
