She done lost her damn mind.

Running errands on Ninth Street, and in the spirit of birthday-week briefly wandered into The Regulator. And without fail, there were both anticipated finds and unexpected treasures. If you’re new to Durham, NC - definitely pay a visit to our local independent bookstore, The Regulator Bookshop!

They could make a movie about academia and title it "One Meeting After Another". It would be plenty accurate, but not something anyone would enjoy watching.

A nice tribute to the late Isaac Daniel: nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

This is great.

This is great.

A serious effort here from Olivia and colleagues. I will find the time to read this.

I wrote about the four-hour documentary about the world’s most dangerous man. (Gift link) #TIFF26

A group of 25 Fields Medalists, including myself, have made a joint declaration on Math and AI: mathandai.org . We welcome additional signatories. See also this article in the Economist announcing the declaration: www.economist.com/science-and-...

Remarkable.

Mildly annoyed by the New York Times’ new practice of requiring people to sign in even to read *gift* articles.

beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, out of this world, incredible

Couple this with various publishers replacing scientists as their chief editors with in-house staff and you have a recipe for disaster.

Dinner!

Strong Sprockets energy here

Incredible. I will find time to watch this in full.

This week’s sign of the apocalypse ⬇️

I’m teaching a short course next week, with Oscar Lopez-Pamies. Really happy with the response we’ve received so far in terms of participants:

Hard to overstate the damage tonight’s 60 minutes segment on vaccine injury will do.

Ooof, this is bleak: www.wbez.org/education/20...

You hate… to see … it.

We were fortunate enough to attend the Noah Kahan concert last night, in Raleigh. It was one of the most incredible and beautiful concerts I’ve ever attended.

Wait. They all shake hands at the end? What are we even doing here? He's the US President suing you for $20 billion for reporting on the birthday card he sent his friend the pedophile in which he drew a naked girl & mused about secrets. And they all shake hands?

Admirable clarity @science.org

Hats off to Norway. What a great run, shame it has come to an end. Best of luck to the England squad going forward.

I truly don’t see how this country can go on if we don’t ban online sports betting. This story is stomach-turning.

Nobody writes quite like @drewmagary.bsky.social

Pleased to talk to @gregsargent.bsky.social abt NATO summit. Maybe we can rebuild trust someday, but we'll be on the receiving end of "trust, but verify" and significant hedging for a while. Europe sees Trump as the single point of failure for the West, and doesn't want to be at the whim of the US.

Why yes, that’s a Spain fan air guitarring an inflatable Iberico ham leg. How can you not be romantic about the World Cup.

My interview: “I came to this country as an infant and became a U.S. citizen,” Roswell Encina said. “So sitting there, on the Fourth of July, I couldn’t help but think about the promise of America and the work still required to protect it.” www.advocate.com/news/people/...

This England-Mexico match is wild.

Metaphors abound

An excellent read: worth your time.

Hearn says, very plausibly, that he was arrested just for touching a piece of blue coating that had already peeled off the surface. Which is a hell of a lot more believable than “Olympian randomly decides to vandalize national monument.”

This needs to be watched by a lot more people.

I believe I’m going to block my calendar to allow me to watch every remaining World Cup match that Messi is in from now on. We are witnessing something special.

"Did Lalas enjoy an elite playing career? No. But does he do the background reading that could compensate for his relative lack of standing in a conversation with titans like Henry and Zlatan? Also no. But is he charming or funny or charismatic or otherwise magnetic on screen? Eh, no."

Quite the explanation.

A full-page editorial tribute to the Tartan Army in today’s Boston Globe. Rarely has one country’s inhabitants done their homeland so proud. 👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #NoScotlandNoParty

Things sure are starting to look bleak at the reflecting pool
