Followed a link to an 8-minute 1953 TV version of Abbott and Costello doing “Who’s on First,” and it’s still entertaining after all these years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rlll...

I would say there's a pattern where women get positions in a new industry, possibly before it is as widely seen as exciting(??) and then getting pushed out, presumably by men being sexist. It happened in early Hollywood too.

Oh yes absolutely! It just struck me that it's 11 volumes. 12 would be a nice round number. But I am very much looking forward to whatever you do next!!

Just fucking don't use fucking Substack. I want to read that thing you wrote but I will NOT hang out in the Nazi bar to do it. I won't link to it. I won't tell my friends about it. I may mute your posts. Leave the Nazi bar. There's still time.

A little Polish joy this morning. These panoramic sketches weren’t created during the Battle of Monte Cassino - they were drawn afterwards by Second Lieutenant Zdzisław Brunne and Officer Cadet Jan Bisiński, serving in 12 Kompania Geograficzna (12th Geographical Company) of the 2nd Polish Corps.

An experimental tank battalion was formed #OTD in 1942 in Cairo under the command of Major King. Kingforce, as it came to be known, took part in the Second Battle of El Alaimein, showing the value of the Churchill III tank in combat. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Yeah that's fair. I think it contributes to the sterility, but I think that's contextual, it depends on what's around the courtyard

My heart breaks for mathematicians whose lives and careers are being destroyed by AI — and especially this PhD student, who doesn’t even know he is a poet

Kai Shaikh, a Ph.D. student in mathematics at the University of Toronto, also currently at SLMath, observed that theorems are easy to use as benchmarks, but that they capture little of the wonderment at the heart of math. "Just like a photograph of a mile marker can't provide much of the value of actually going on a hike," he said,
"it would seem to me that proofs without stories, or even stories without struggle or mystery, and first glimpses of strange beasts, are not very meaningful or valuable to us humans."

He also wrote a ton of books for Osprey which I haven't read.

Ford became one of my favorite authors through topic selection: 78th Infantry Division, the Seine river crossing, the Battle of Geilenkirchen - topics that immediately grabbed me for not being D Day or Market Garden

My family have ordered a copy of Ken Ford's _Mailed Fist_ (early 2000s) about 6th Armoured Div which fought in Tunisia and then (in distributed subunits) Italy. #histbookchat
