I don’t mean to brag
I don’t mean to boast
But I like hot butter on my breakfast toast

As a mathematician and a Lehrer fan, this is unsurprising. Mathematicians have patience….
With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Just finished @emilystjams.bsky.social’s new book “Woodworking” and can thoroughly recommend it! The writing is rich and engaging and her characters are as complex, flawed, and wonderful as every human is.

We are just leaving over one week into Trump’s second term. So many things! But here’s something important - he released all of the people that tried to change the outcome on Jan 6 and pushed forward an entirely unqualified sec of defense.

I’m late to this party but I just finished @marcuschown.bsky.social ‘s “The Magic Furnace.” A fantastic book all around but particularly in deftly unveiling the linkages between inhuman extremes- the small scales, fastest speeds, and highest temperatures!

And, holy smokes, what about dogs?
sorta unreflectively surprising to me that smells would so outstrip color, but i guess it's probably true there are more dimensions along which smells can vary than dimensions along which colors can vary
