Not a famous dead mathematician

Slugs love hamster wheels :-)

Just learned that Dutch scientists left a hamster wheel outside in 2014 and saw that tons of wild mice used it just for fun as well as frogs and slugs? All the creatures of the forest wanted a turn?? Absolutely phenomenal

My favourite review on Google Maps is for an Antarctic research station. Unfortunately, their penguin is not a people pleaser.
I saw a toot about how Mastodon isn’t a suitable network for social movements.. posted on a social network with 8 million accounts that has no adverts, is volunteer run, is open source, has no owner and is end to end free of big technology companies.

#OnThisDay, 31 Dec 2011, Prof. Maria Zucker's GRAIL A spacecraft successfully entered orbit around the Moon. GRAIL B arrived the next day. Renamed Ebb and Flow, they flew in in tandem around the moon to precisely measure and map variations in the moon's gravitational field.

Here’s a poem called ‘This was the year that was not the year’.

@cstross it is one reason I have become a strong advocate of proportional representation.

If Labour were smart, they'd realise that a landslide was an outlier and a chance to cement real change in before the Tories can continue to restrict voting. Then, regardless of any other reforms, they'd sort out PR and the Lords. That would be the Attlee-equivalent 'greater good' moment.

Brown's work on what to do about the Lords is good. But right now the leadership is weak on PR change.

I've been winning Rock Paper Scissors hand over fist.
Today’s poem consists entirely of the first lines of poems I shall never write. It’s called ‘Index of Discarded First Lines’.

Imagine your #Mastodon server going from 60 accounts to 22K+ in a matter of days — and you also have a day job. Huge thanks to @chad for everything he’s doing on our instance.

I can’t begin to imagine the pressure of a glitchy server plus multiple angry messages from people who have no idea how things go down behind the scenes.

Contribute some $$$ if you’re able, friends. Volunteers burn out without support.
