I forgot to buy prosecco, which i prefer to champagne. Though in a pinch I'd even use Vinho Verde. Though I have Mezcal, somehow that feels appropriate too

Thanks for running the numbers! Maybe not much use in lowering US energy prices, but Russia is starved for foreign cash.

Trump has spent his presidency asking Republicans: Are you loyal to me? The midterms give voters a chance to ask our elected officials a different question: Are you accountable to us?

The Association for Human Mathematics (AHM) statement on OpenAI’s October 6 release of mathematical documents just dropped! www.ahmath.org/statements
AHM Statement on OpenAI’s October 6 Release of Mathematical Documents

Yesterday, on October 6th, 2026, OpenAI – which is currently defending lawsuits against accusations of illegal plagiarism, copyright infringement, and trademark dilution – released a repository of manuscripts purporting to contain solutions to a number of high-profile problems in mathematics.

Mathematicians did not ask for this work to be done. The Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, from whom OpenAI has claimed to derive its legitimacy, opened their initial advisory statement by saying that frontier AI corporations should not test advanced mathematical problems on internal models. In ignoring the central premise of the Advisory Group’s position, OpenAI has indicated total disregard for the norms of scientific research — norms that guarantee that mathematics remains trustworthy, ethically researched, and in the public interest.

Mathematicians have a particular vision of progress that is informed by history and field-specific considerations. We reject OpenAI's assertion that this release advances our subject, and we urge mathematicians and the public to view the value of this publication model with due skepticism. 

Releasing over 700 files at once is not a demonstration of scholarship, but a demonstration of power. We urge mathematicians to discontinue their work with OpenAI and to return to a vision of science that centers human understanding.

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

I've heard a theory that so many people falling for it were just unaccustomed to positive reflection in a human-like voice. Damn that makes me sad.

You cannot convince me that privately funded election campaigns use fewer tax dollars overall. Campaigns should only be allowed a finite pool of public funds, volunteers, and nothing else.
