I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI. The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

Today was the final day of the 38th British Topology Meeting. It was fun! Great to see so many young people in the field and hear all the recent developments.

The first step in a project that is dear to my heart has now appeared on the arXiv (arxiv.org/abs/2509.04134). In it we develop a unified framework describing how different notions of symmetries of operator algebras are interlinked. We reveal interesting connections with homotopy theory as well.

Just a member of the UK parliament asking me, my family, my neighbours, my colleagues, school teachers, friends and a large proportion of the NHS to leave the country. And the richest person in the world endorsing the message.

I've a feeling Mr Farage might very much be regretting his trip... round about ... Now 👇

AAAAAHHHHH

Are we still having the ICM in Philly next year?

The devastating funding cuts to mathematics research in the US will cut-short the careers of a generation of mathematicians. It really is disgraceful, and unbelievably shortsighted. #MathSky www.scientificamerican.com/article/can-...

At last. This really is excellent news! Something the EU had asked for a very long time ago. Looks like Yvette Cooper now lost that battle to limit it to 12 months. Good. It's high time young Brits and Europeans can get to know each other again.

I am visiting Belfast for a conference on topological groupoids and C*-algebras (www.newton.ac.uk/event/tgaw02/). Belfast is pretty in the summer!

I am rewatching #StarTrek #DS9 at the moment and the episode "Past Tense" still hits very close to home. I remember that I thought "Nah, it's not going to be like that in 2024". Oh boy, was I wrong.

Really quite an excoriating indictment of university governance, this. Desperately needs to be confronted by the sector as a whole rather than swept aside as an anomaly. This is not an edge case. Live reporting from the BBC: www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c1...

Vice Chancellor Larner wants Cardiff University to be a ‘living experiment’, as a ‘part social innovation lab, part corporate partnership innovation centre, part civic system transition space’ with constant ‘creative destruction and continual regeneration’

This is a devastating piece of writing. Highly recommend. 🔥✊👇 www.iwa.wales/agenda/2025/...

Thanks to all the lovely people at the Burnley Mechanics last night. What a fab evening. Here’s a pic of Henry Normal doing his stuff. We’re off to St Albans today for the penultimate show of the tour. Tickets still available. Hope to see some of you there. everyonetheatres.com/book/?instan...

Cardiff Uni academics of Bluesky! We'd be grateful if you'd share 🙏. We are really looking forward to hearing your memories of our brutalist beacon on campus!

Irresponsible policy and at the worst possible time for universities in the UK. I’m still waiting for as much as a concept of a plan from this government for HE.

Apple nerds, I need help! For years I’ve used AppleScripts to tell Ableton Live to save so that I can open a new file with a midi command. That stopped working when I upgraded to OS 14.7. When I test my ancient scripts I get a new error that ScriptEditor can’t send keystrokes. Anyone know the fix?

Hard to say how disappointing this morning‘s speech really was. Morally AND intellectually. Agree with every line here by @iandunt.bsky.social 👇

The mathematician Zhouli Xu was warned against trying to resolve the Kervaire conjecture while in graduate school. But the problem remained “a constant source of fascination,” he said.
