Dartmouth College's provost, Santiago Schnell, will face a no-confidence vote at a November 9 faculty meeting. This comes after Dartmouth's student newspaper found that Schnell had used AI in his academic and editorial writing. https://chroni.cl/3UPSoFN

I just analyzed 1.9M recipes and can now report that the yummy simplicial complex is arguably *not* flag. The following flavor trios have far fewer recipes containing all three ingredients than the recipes with pairs of ingredients would predict.
An open problem in culinary mathematics: Consider the 𝑦𝑢𝑚𝑚𝑦 𝑠𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑥 Y on vertex set I = {ingredients} where σ∈Y iff the ingredients in σ appear in a single good recipe. Question: Is Y a flag simplicial complex? (A complex Y is 𝑓𝑙𝑎𝑔 when σ∈Y iff {x,y}∈Y for all x,y∈σ.)

Going on record to say (white) Evangelicals will support GOP in higher numbers than ever next Tuesday, making it clear that the Venn diagram of (white) Evangelicals and remaining MAGA voters is increasingly looking like a circle.
www.washingtonsun.com/campaigns/re... Is this a parody? Tell me you have zero idea who Evangelicals are and what makes them vote without telling me you’ve never met an Evangelical in your life.

The soaring costs of public universities is a political decision. When these schools predominantly served white students, they tended to be free (UC, CCNY, etc.) But as the number of students of color has increased, funding for the public universities has decreased. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/b...

Culturally, we're talking about an institution where until 2015, academics were still drinking from a cup made from a skull that was rumoured to belong to an enslaved Caribbean woman.

In MAGA, parental estrangement is a big issue — and parents are held out as blameless victims. I suspect that's one reason why Vivek Ramaswamy ran an ad celebrating Amy Acton's vile mother. And why MAGA — including Vance and Trump — are backing him. www.salon.com/2026/10/23/r...
