How women are written out of stories of mathematical discovery: “Ruzsa published Marton’s conjecture in 1999, giving her full credit. ‘She came to that conjecture independently of me and Freiman, and probably before us,’ he said. ‘That’s why, when I talked to her, I decided to call it her conjecture.’ Still, mathematicians now refer to it as the polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture, or PFR.” https://www.quantamagazine.org/a-team-of-math-proves-a-critical-link-between-addition-and-sets-20231206/

Somehow I wasn’t prepared for today to be Mick Jagger’s 80th birthday.
Very disappointing: “Former U.S. Congressman Tim Ryan announced Thursday that he’s joining the leadership council of a political nonprofit that promotes the natural gas industry…”. https://www.cleveland.com/news/2023/01/ex-us-rep-tim-ryan-announces-his-next-career-move.html

If it is not literally the warmest year ever, someone will complain that global warming has stopped.

Year-to-year fluctuations are a normal part of the ongoing global warming trend. Don't be distracted by the noise.

“No Ohioan should greet the deal as any kind of guaranteed protection from right-wing radicalism. It certainly shouldn’t be thought of as a “coalition government”…

But this deal is the first step down a path that, if stuck to, could lead to less insane and more thoughtful lawmaking.

That’s something devoutly to be wished by all reasonable Ohioans.” https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2023/01/12/ohios-new-crybaby-caucus-another-consequence-of-gerrymandering/

Twitter just suspended the account for Washington D.C.'s public transit system, maybe for posting the buses' real-time assassination coordinates

Twitter temporarily bans account for D.C.-area bus system without explanation

The social media app suspended the @metrobusinfo account on Tuesday for about six hours and gave Metro transit officials no explanation why.
