A procedurally generated Islamic geometric tile mosaic: a circular medallion whose centre is a twelve-pointed star, ringed by smaller stars and polygonal tiles. The strapwork is drawn as pale ribbons that weave over and under at each crossing, set over glazed compartments in blue and white, in the Moorish geometric tradition.

A tale in two parts -- I didn't see the sign in time and my hiking poles paid the price
Sign that reads "We are having problems with campground marmots. They love cork, leather, and the sweat on your gear. they will chew and steal these items. please keep them inside your tents, up trees, or in bear bins." with a picture of a marmot sitting like it's at home watching TVA porcupine chewing the cork off hiking poles

I've been thinking about power a lot, both because it underlies a lot of my work and because so many of the most consequential debates right now are fundamentally about it. This is the first post of a series where I try to make sense of it. open.substack.com/pub/senykama...

I'm hosting a security/privacy/hacking conference in Canada next year. So much of the conference is planned and prepped, but it still needs a name. This is always the hardest part of event planning for me because names carry so much weight and meaning. Any suggestions for names?

it's wild how one of the easiest ways to intuitively understand certain symmetry groups is just by looking at feet pics
Wikipedia screenshot of a page classifying types of 2D repeating patterns. There is a bunch of notation/images explaining them, but the clearest one(s) are of colored repeating clip art of feet.
