I am being invited to a secretive ice cream party...

Maybe a public statement about executions that is mostly about why you support the myth of apolitical is not going to land how you thought it would?

Ep5: you know I can’t do that Ep6: you know WE can’t do that (recap) From the subtitles. Curious.

The CSU/OpenAI contract is set to expire June 30, 2026. Sign this petition: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/cancel-chatgpt-edu-invest-in-humans/ for the CSU NOT to renew the contract and to use the savings to protect jobs at CSU campuses facing layoffs.

Never mind the jobs you had, five classes you took in college: 1. Psychology of Religion 2. Choral Arranging 3. Galois Theory 4. Song-writing 5. Quantum Chemistry HM (taught): Mind and Meaning

I got a last minute invitation to the boy aquarium tonight. There was no kissing, and if there was secret heat, it was well concealed. Yes, I had a hotdog for dinner.

Completely disband ICE, obviously. Half of my grandparents were refugees, I’m not Xtian, and I’m queer. I’ve been told uncountably many times that this makes my American status contingent, subtly and directly. It’s ghoulish to give that perspective weapons and the protection of state authority.

I'm doing some heavy copy-editing this week. There are a lot of extraneous apostrophes that are starting to make me think either large-language models or at least aggressive grammar tools are being used uncritically.

“You go talk to Kyle. Would you like me to hold your wedding ring?”

I’ve been weary of the MCU for years. I am now excited about the GCU/HRU. AMA

There's a small part of my job that involves people I don't know at all sending me insulting, hateful documents about what they think it means to be ready to guide children's learning. It's very upsetting.

@myqkaplan.bsky.social I wanted you to know that we cited your show A.K.A. in a recent journal article (about defining sandwiches in math class). www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

My newest paper about defining sandwiches is out! @drew-lewis.com @sbagley.bsky.social @annemho.bsky.social Mary, Jessica, Bill, @matthematics.com Kate, Sarah www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I’m having a rough week. I need sunshine.

Yes: Ilya/Lily Shane/Jane But also: Rose is basically Roz. It’s like if Svetlana were Holly.

I made an Art!

Any Canvas wizards here? I need a little help. I want to reorder students for SpeedGrader purposes. Groups allows this but requires that I launch separate SG tabs and I can't switch without going back to the assignment! Is there a better way?

"If you want, after, we can go to Olive Garden or wherever straight people hang out."

As expected, I really enjoyed #HeatedRivalry, but I’m also finding it extremely painful.

Just finished #heatedrivalry with @thewordninjabk.bsky.social and it was a balm for my soul. Love love love.

B( Not a frowny face. Those are my "initials" by accident.

I genuinely think the right plan here is to use the same slides from an 50-minute talk for my upcoming 25-minute talk but to skip some of the details in a less pedagogical context. Please forgive me if I am wrong in retrospect.

One of my students had (and took) and opportunity to shout: DO NOT USE MATH TO KILL PEOPLE in the context of discussing the epistemology and ethics of mathematics today. Overall, part of a very successful semester wrap-up.

Yet one more reason we cannot allow LLMs to serve as epistemic grounding is that we cannot triangulate among them the way you can among reasonable independent sources. They bullshit in the same way and end up agreeing with one other about things that are completely false.

Four cuties just gazing into each others’ eyes.

Btw I really don't know how anybody ever gives feedback about proof attempts without having the vocabulary provided by Toulmin analysis. @thewordninjabk.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

@sbagley.bsky.social there is an account on one of the other places about a red raccoon called Parma-Shawn that is so cute. I needed you to know that.

“Is that a science?” Glorious edit on this video. www.facebook.com/reel/1406693...

About 53 minutes into this show, you can hear me make a numerical estimate. Saw this taping w/ sis on our post-mom trip. youtu.be/RAvNlgpdKKo

Happy worst email day of the year to all who celebrate non-consensually.

I haven't explored this yet, but I wanted to post it as another promising lead related to LaTeX and accessibility infrastructure. sites.und.edu/timothy.pres...

Not to brag, but my teenagers want to cuddle on the couch with me every evening. To be fair, they do only communicate monosyllabically (meow).

It's messy work in progress, but folks can attend my talk at 10am Pacific today if interested. "Preliminary Learning Trajectories for Quantifiers from Casual Language" math.ou.edu/events/talks...

I just spelled something so wrong that Google autocarroted it to "twerk" in the slides for my talk this morning!

Does anyone have a good image of an equilateral triangular tiling that prints nicely? We're going to make hyperbolic planes by hand by gluing 7 triangles at each vertex, so I need high-yield pages. 1-1.5" sides.

Otters are river/sea kittens. Raccoons are tree/trash kittens. Owls are sky kittens. Foxes are dog kittens. I will not be taking questions. www.facebook.com/reel/7210936...

Someone wrote a little pun-titled article about me! lbcurrent.com/news/2025/10...

Some news!

The PRIMUS Editorial Board, on behalf of Taylor & Francis, is pleased to announce the selection of Brian P Katz (BK) of CSU Long Beach as Editor-in-Chief, starting in 2026. www.tandfonline.com/loi/upri20

My set list for tomorrow is full of bangers.

Oh hey speaking of the SoCal-Nevada Section Meeting, @thewordninjabk.bsky.social is one of the invited speakers, due to receiving the Section Award for Distinguished Teaching of Mathematics! The title of that talk is “Teaching Proofs as a Way of Knowing.”

I need to do a small poster that I would prefer to have some color, and image, and not to look like a joke. For digital release only. Is Canva my right choice? My other idea is to use a branded set of PPT slides to get the design elements in there. I just don't do this stuff.

I am reading some f-ing incredible student reflections!!!!
