This Saturday is the grand opening of the Grothendieck Institute https://igrothendieck.org/
The Institute's goal is partly to promote topos theory and its applications, partly to study the still unpublished writings of Alexandre Grothendieck.

Ah, writers of the 18th century 📜 Why would you simply say 'brothel' when you could say 'seminary for initiating youth in the mysteries of the Paphian Queen' ... ?

Never mind fog on the Tyne, we had fog in the city centre this morning....

If you are interested (and I was curious), here is a list of the all-time most popular (i.e. followed) profiles on Mastodon (this list rotates every 5 minutes): https://getstarted.social/interest_group/all-time-most-popular/

Here's a note by the creator, @adam, who says that he did *not* scrape user profiles, but he used pre-existing lists of Mastodon users: https://mastodon.adamgeitgey.com/@adam/109313972852991428.

If you want to remove yourself from his project, here's a link to his profile, so you can contact him to ask to be removed: https://mastodon.adamgeitgey.com/@adam.

(via working class history): On this day, 28 November 1919, Faye Schulman, photographer and Jewish resistance partisan, was born in Lenin, Poland (now Belarus). In 1942, the Nazis murdered 1,850 Jews in the Lenin ghetto, leaving only Faye and 25 others alive, making Faye take and develop photos of the massacre. Covertly she made copies of the photographs for herself. She soon fled and joined the partisan resistance, serving as a fighter and nurse. While on a raid in Lenin with her unit, Faye managed to retrieve her camera equipment, and then began documenting the resistance movement, developing her photos under blankets. "I want people to know that there was resistance. Jews did not go like sheep to the slaughter. I was a photographer. I have pictures. I have proof." Faye survived the war and moved to Canada, where she lived until her death on April 24, 2021.

It's not every day you see a square storm 🤔

This one was spotted near Jupiter's North Pole by NASA's Juno spacecraft on Perijove 46.

@ceoln Since I've started doing AI Art, my "NFT ART" friends have stopped interacting with me. They think I'm not a "real" artist. That inspired this article I wrote: https://bolesblogs.com/2022/11/13/how-ai-art-extends-our-originality-of-imagination/

Excited for an #introduction 👋!

📝 We are Penn NeuroKnow, a #neuroscience blog run by PhD students in the University of Pennsylvania’s Neuroscience Graduate Group.

👩‍🔬 👨‍🔬 Our goal is to share our love of neuroscience with you all. Each post breaks down a different topic in neuroscience, ranging from general neuroscience knowledge to summaries of exciting new studies that are changing how we think about the brain.

🧠 Recent topics have included why we get the hiccups, how the octopus controls its arms, and how neuroscientists are starting to realize that what they thought was noise might not actually be so noisy.

⏰ We’ll be sharing links to our latest posts with short summaries every Tuesday when they go live. We’re looking forward to sharing our posts and engaging with the community here!

How about a hand for Victor Dorobantu, the actor who plays Thing on #Netflix’s ‘Wednesday’ 👋

#Solarpunk- "a literary and art movement which imagines what the future could look like if the human species were actually to succeed in solving the major challenges associated with #globalwarming, from reducing global #emissions to overcoming #capitalist economic growth as the primary motor of human society" 👇

at some point maybe it would be worth doing a fediverse thread breakdown of the ideas in ocappub https://gitlab.com/spritely/ocappub/blob/master/README.org and how the work has continued over at @spritelyinst because everything I wrote in 2019 is now super, incredibly relevant

(I am anticipating a crash/collapse of the fediverse in its current form at a not too distant future; hopefully we'll have more answers ready by then, but this is a multi-year project)

Perhaps an odd question for #startrek fans ...But do you think extraterrestrial life exists, specifically, intelligent life?

Over the years I've been a bit surprised at the number of Trek fans who doubt. Always thought that would be a given.

What are your thoughts? Do you think intelligent aliens exist? And if so, how do you think they might look, behave, live...?

If you are familiar with the distressing myth of "Leda and the Swan" you will instantly recognize the ethereal beauty in these AI created images memorializing the moment before the disillusion.

Good morning and happy Monday, #writer friends! I’m about to bury my face in a giant cup of coffee and then start working, gearing up for the #nanowrimo home stretch. Other than that and some #teaching, my big plans for today are to finally take down my Halloween decorations (I know, I know, don’t judge me!). What’s everyone else up to today? Anyone in the mood for a #writingsprint?
