Susan Mac Donald's new book #EuclidTransmogrified
from #logicpress tells the almost unbelievable story of how 1 Million Irish children were subjected to #bogusgeometry during the #Ageofequipollence 1966-1990.

@pickover True or false is always true, but that one's false without the !

@CardColm Hint: -40.

#ICM2022 working well on YouTube. The official site seems overloaded. Terrific talks by #JamesMaynard and #JuneHuh. Glad to see Huh's honourable mention of #Bombieri, who spoke at my first ICM, in 1974.

Virtual #ICM2022 site crashed? Suddenly went 404. Hacked, or overloaded?

Nice idea shown by Joan #Carmona at #UAB: #bookmarks with #mathematical facts. These are in #Catalan. Do the same in your #language of choice.

#Billbrowder 's #RedNotice is a terrific read, and shines a light on #Putin. But the real question is about this #chess game. #FelixBrowder versus #WilliamBrowder, #AndrewBrowder already had that habit with the hands. Now what exactly is the position, and who is going to win?

Earthshaking? https://t.co/ezsIXYibSU Real time and historical seismograph plots and datasets, free. Seems a quarry blast is about as powerful as any recent #earthquakes in my vicinity.

@ginnyhogan_ You got their attention with that one, Ginny. I looked at

Is Galentine's Day a thing, or a misprint?
Dating now seems to be even more awful than it was when I was young.

At #Stonehenge exhibition at @britishmuseum and spotted this gold sun disc - found about a mile away from where we live in Wexford.

Happening right now @UCDLibrary, hundreds if not thousands of books and journals being thrown directly into a bin lorry. Some will counterargue that many volumes, especially journals, are now superceded by digital editions. However, lots of older valuable books being tossed. A🧵:

I pray for #peace. The parallels
between #Hitler 1936-9 #Rhineland, #Spain, #Austria, #Poland and #Putin #chechnya, #syria, #belorus, #ukraine are not funny.

[Anthony G. O'Farrell @agofarrell]

I pray for #peace. Appalling suffering in #Ukraine. But let's not blame ordinary #Russians, who have to be suffering too. We have all, sadly, had occasion to be #ashamed of things our country is doing.

@CardColm looks neolithic, maybe chinese.

[Anthony G. O'Farrell @agofarrell]

No. Someone we both met regularly at coffee (GG) told me he once met an old lady in Munich who said she came from Berchtesgarten. He asked the obvious question, and she smiled and said: Ach, ja! Adolf und Eva! Sehr nette Leute! That's one step less.

[Sonia @yet_so_far]

Can't believe I am doing this, but my "path to Hitler via people who have met physically" I think goes via my dad, who once met EMS (who visited his home after the death of my grandfather, who was his driver), who in all likelihood met Subhash Chandra Bose in the 30s.

It is odd how many #odd socks I own. On the plus side, I would be odder if I had none, because I would then own even numbers, both of socks and #oddsocks. Now if I had n feet....

Reading #Unzicker's provocative book led me to @beneater's wonderful site:
