- I've reached the point where I've started telling my students, "please do watch my youtube videos, but *don't tell me you have*" because if we all pretend that they haven't, I can still teach them effectively.
- Reposted by Doctor Logic(seen a bunch of people sharing this/talking in general about how "normal" Mamdani is but imo this doesn't show a normal person, but an *exceptionally* skilled communicator - a normal person wouldn't react like that to having a speech interrupted by a child! give him his due!)

- Reposted by Doctor LogicSir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

- Reposted by Doctor LogicAh, 3 February: 389th anniversary of the widely documented day the arse falls out of the out-of-control Dutch tulip market, the country’s economy collapses, and loads of financially ruined people hurl themselves into canals Well, except for all the bits that aren’t true... 🧵
- After chasing a suitable date for what feels like months, this afternoon I *finally* got to give a talk in the Mathematics Pedagogy Seminar at Durham Uni.
- I just had one of those "is this really my life?!" moments -- I sent an email with the subject line "two articles on alien baptism."

- Ugh, I hate how crappy searching images on the internet has become. Anyone have an image of a badge that says "only when used as a compound adjective" on hand that they could share?

- I can 100% guarantee that if I had a white tailed/maned wild cat named "bum-bum", it would cure any melancholy I had.
- Reposted by Doctor LogicI've been working for the last 10 days to set up an Etsy shop. I'm launching it now. Two things in this shop are 100% for Minnesota relief - the Bird of Protection mug and the Dragons Against Ice sticker. The other two mugs are for general happiness. www.etsy.com/listing/4447...

- I didn't read all of this article (it made me too angry) but I read as far as this anecdote: "...a small child announces he is going to leave home, his mother says “see ya”, shuts the front door behind him, and turns off the outside light – [1/2] www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

- This, my friends, is a Spicy Pickle beer. It is absolutely disgusting and I loved it. If you ever thought "I need a beer that is salty and full of dill and makes my tongue tingle," this is the beer for you.
- Every year I shift out some of my weekly logic tutorial exercises and shift in new ones. This year, I'm interested in having students do more with getting from the messiness of natural language to the precision and beauty of logical language, making their background assumptions explicit as they do.

- Reposted by Doctor LogicThere is a straight line from the failure of Reconstruction to "We don't need to count everyone's vote in the 2000 election" to "People from places like Madison & Milwaukee aren't real Wisconsinites & shouldn't have their votes count" to "ICE can murder people in cold blood in our cities."

- Reposted by Doctor LogicOn the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.
