Yesterday's drawing, taken from the rat-tober prompt list by @thebeanbaguette.bsky.social.

Pencil sketch of "Mister Rat-gers Neighborhood", with a rat in a sweater standing on a chair. It's labeled "wholesome rat", which was the prompt.

Posting it a bit late, but last weekend I finally achieved a Pokemon goal several years in the making, and won my first League Cup! Here's the traditional deck list pic. VStar marker by @taterdash.bsky.social!

A Pokemon TCG deck spread out over a playmat that says "champion" in the corner. The deck is based on Dragapult cards, which coincidentally is also the Pokemon depicted on the playmat. There's also a cute watercolor painted "eevee-star" marker token in the corner.

I hate living in a state that wants to murder its citizens.

I found the saddest window in the math building.

Three windows in a row in an old building. Two of them have devices at the bottom on the frames for locking them closed. On the middle one, most of the device is missing, leaving some hardware in the shape of a frowny face.
A close up of the middle window with frowny face from the other picture. The face is made of four screws at the corners of a rectangle. The top two are the eyes, and a curved piece of metal connects the bottom two to form the frown. The window looks to be extremely sad or distressed.  Also, it's nighttime, so instead of outside, the reflection of a railing behind me is visible in the window.

In fact, AE can never bisect angle CAG, because that would imply AF:FG = FE:EG = 1.

Would you like me to post a solution, or is this a challenge you want to leave open?

I've recently added "What does it mean to 'do math'?" to my first-day-of-class discussion topics. It's made for very enjoyable conversations!

The Pac-10/12 schools may not have gotten along 100% of the time, but we were a *family*, dammit. (And we all hated U$C more than each other anyway.)

I don't know which "team" I'm on, but this (boundedness of elliptic curve ranks) is the rare question in math where not only do we not have a proof, not only do we not know the answer, but *people firmly believe different things*. So progress toward one or the other is really exciting!
