@charlotteharpur @TheAthletic That was one perspicacious question which garnered a perspicacious answer. Kudos to both of you. I love intelligent conversations from people who excel at what they do.

What is it like covering Eileen Gu for 2 weeks at the #WinterOlympics? I tried to put it into words. @TheAthletic Gift article = free to read nytimes.com/athletic/70638…

@JBedellWHIO Interestingly enough, no administrators were laid off. Good question to ask.

@PolymathToBe Thanks. Sorry to hear that. We have another reporter working it tonight.

@JBedellWHIO 45 faculty. 20 staff.

@JBedellWHIO Layoff notification meetings at UD starts today. Don't know how many. Faculty and staff.

@SXMJohnClare I saw you were moving to Chicago, you're leaving SXSM too? I will miss you. You've been my morning classical fix for as long as I have listened to Symphony Hall. Good luck and have fun. CSO is an outstanding orchestra and Chicago is a great music town.

@UCF_Volleyball Make sure your agent went through your contract with a fine tooth comb Matt. Make sure there are no dodgy surprises.

Welcome to UCF, Matt Botsford 🌴

@Johnubacon I'm guessing you'll be celebrating the rest of the week. The sobbing and wailing here in Ohio is almost comical.

@mathyawp Already followed you in both. Now, to get more of the stubborn mathematicians to move.

I’m moving to 🦋 and 🧵. By the way, there are tools to move your follows. Search on “[social media name] bridge”.

Happy Diwali.

@fuchsiadunlop I need to thank you for putting in the work in writing it. Invitation to a Banquet sits on my To Be Read list as I type.

@PolymathToBe Hi Peter, just wanted to say thank you very much for your wonderful and touching review of my book, which made me a bit misty-eyed! I really appreciate your honesty and openness - and of course I'm delighted that you enjoyed the read. 🙏🙏🙏😍😍☺️☺️☺️😋😋😋

@fuchsiadunlop A very informative book on authentic Chinese cuisine by the intrepid Fuchsia Dunlop. It is a multi-layered book that is cultural history, anthropology, and personal memoir. I am glad I finally read it. polymathtobe.blogspot.com/2024/10/book-r…

@divbyzero This is my only reason for staying on Twitter. I have tried to chase them down, but the math community has seemingly disappeared. Bluesky is trying. But so far no luck, and there aren't any on Threads. Please let me know when you figure it out. I will do likewise.

I've been on Twitter/X for 16+ years (!). I love(d) the mathematical community—profs, teachers, students, enthusiasts, etc. Sadly, the math-X community is a shadow of math Twitter. Has it relocated somewhere, or has it scattered? Where are your math social media conversations?

@Johnubacon We've been down so long, this was like winning the Powerball, Christmas, and New years all rolled into one. And thanks.

@PolymathToBe I know how much the Illini players and fans wanted that one, and they deserved it. Enjoy the ride!

If you want to see good football - and I mean really good football - I recommend changing the channel.
