An AI ChatBot solves a long standing Erdős problem. New "Devlin's Angle" post for the MAA. maa.org/math-values/...

I'm looking forward to my Farewell Lecture at Southern Denmark University on 2 June, but sad that my five-year Visiting Professorship is coming to an end. I've enjoyed my annual stays in Odense - a few weeks in a civilized country not at war with itself has done wonders. www.sdu.dk/en/forskning...

The tool/weapon duality of mathematics. New "Devlin's Angle" post for the Math Assoc of America. A follow-up to last month's post. Do you know who I quote at the start of my essay? The answer may surprise you. maa.org/math-values/...

The most impressive politician by far who I'd like to be our next President is a man with no party. His former party is now out-and-out Nazi. His political leanings are far from mine. But he's the person I want to lead us out of the mess the GOP has created. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Intriguing perspective on MAGA from "The Last Republican", former GOP Congressman and impressive American patriot Adam Kinzinger open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

And still the Republican Party in Congress worships him and stands (in silence) behind everything he does. Watch how they vote; that's where their beliefs lie.

My new "Devlin's Angle" for the MAA dropped today. Fortunately, the USA did not drop nukes on Iran (which was clearly the only way they could obliterate 90 million human beings, as our President threatened). maa.org/math-values/...

Unfortunately, this appeals to his base. Roughly 1 in 3 Americans. And Trump knows it. So do the Congressional Republicans, who continue to support him. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Remember, the entire Congressional Republican Party is still staunchly behind Trump. Not a one has voted against him, let alone remove him from office, which they have the power to do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWjG...

Collins will disapprove in public and then she will vote for the bill. Maine deserves better. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/A2cp7WgMAQcy...

What made today's Republicans not only anti-American, but pure evil? This is what my (aging) generation thinks about it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=itcb...

Good piece by former Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger. He wants to believe his former colleagues are still loyal Americans. The evidence says otherwise. Republican politicians & voters long ago abandoned either the party or else any shred of human decency open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Truth Social: “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people! President DONALD J. TRUMP.” This is who the entire Republican Party supports as POTUS. To them, he has charisma. Others think differently. No Democrat President ever had such staunch support.

One of the best TV news programs in the US today is LBC. Rule Britannia, anyone? 🙄 www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyJH...

What a massive fail by the #BBC. This is the prestigious Reith Lectures series they have censored. When senior positions are given to weak people, democracy can crumble fast. www.youtube.com/shorts/ZHhbb...

Why is most ed tech so poor? Some thoughts from an ed tech developer. New "Devlin's Angle" post for the MAA maa.org/math-values/...

Some questions that no one has asked: Why Kristi Noem put an inexperienced 20-something in charge of terrorist prevention. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Two Kansans are suing in state court over the new law invalidating trans people's licenses & deputizing bathroom bounty hunters And they're arguing on state law grounds alone Kansas's anti-trans law violates federal law too, but federal courts can't be trusted ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/kansa...

NEW: President Donald Trump and his MAGA allies are not letting a shooting war in the Middle East distract them from their social media campaign for passage of the SAVE America Act. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I guess this is the State of the Union message that matters to everyone on the planet except the Republican States in what was once a union.

I see my birth nation, the UK, still believes that no one is above the law, even royalty. I wish the country that invited me to move here in 1987, and where I have been a citizen since 2000, believed the same. The US used to be such a nation. It pains me that such is no longer the case.

I'd simply ask for Congressional Republicans to give a crap as what's happening to blue states right now could easily happen to red states during a subsequent administration. This is a, frankly, dangerous precedent.

Normal people would be prosecuted and jailed for a hate crime. Trump gets off with an 'Ooops' ????

Hull-born Stanford mathematician @profkeithdevlin.bsky.social has been writing a monthly column about mathematics for the Mathematical Association of America since 1991. This month's piece is in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good: maa.org/math-values/...

In a rare pause, Keith Devlin reflects on why he could not write as usual and what this moment means for our shared values as a mathematical community. Read the Math Values post: https://bit.ly/49YfHSA

It's spring in Sonoma County. Time to bike over to one of my favorite local wineries, a 27 mile round trip involving two massive climbs over Sonoma Mountain. (Well, they seem massive at my age. 🥴)

My boss now and forever Thank you!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

In the 1990s I (a mathematician) collaborated with a London-based sociologist on a project to improve the efficiency of large teams working on EU construction projects, on the basis of which, after 9/11, I was asked to join an NSA-funded project to improve Defense Intelligence Analysis. Ho hum 🤔

“If you raise your voice I’ll erase your voice” said an ice agent. Insane

Looking forward to hosting the World Cup in a couple months!

Italy is right. They should not accept ICE agents to provide "security" at the Winter Olympics next month. The agency is a bunch of poorly trained, trigger-happy sociopathic thugs. www. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Sunset-lit reception at Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley last Thursday

This is America under a Republican administration. Republicans in Congress, and their voters, don't give a shit (many actively support it). But the majority of Americans are appalled by their lack of morality and the wanton cruelty. www.edweek.org/leadership/o...
