Congress is trying to pass three online safety bills at once.

"BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that we affirm the rights of students and teachers to refuse to sign up for, prompt, or otherwise use generative AI in the writing classroom."
College writing teachers have spoken, y'all.
The CCCC resolution affirming students' and teachers' right to refuse generative AI in the writing classroom passed by an overwhelming majority at the #4C26 Annual Business Meeting this past Friday, March 6.

This #WomensHistoryMonth, we celebrate Grace Hopper, a mathematician, computer scientist & Navy rear admiral who programmed the Mark I & co-developed COBOL, paving the way for women in STEM.
It's time to bind the St. John's Bible: The team originally "planned to secure the father of modern conservation binding, Christopher Clarkson, to bind the seven volumes of the Bible...His passing and [that] of Fr. Michael Patella...served as a wake-up call." saintjohnsbible.org/posts/2026/0...
ok but now Iβm thinking about the curvature at infinity
A sign that reads βThe Butterfly Project: The Award Winning Refugium for the Rarest Butterfly Species in the World, The Palos Verdes Blue Butterflyβ Next to the sign is a giant painted butterfly labeled βLange's metalmarkβ
A bathtub with a sign that says βWHY IS THERE A BATHTUB? Unfortunately, this is what βHappyβ our American alligator was kept in before he came to Americaβs Teaching Zoo. β¦ Since arriving at ATZ in 1995 he has regained his health, grown larger and shares his story that wild animals are not house pets!β

More pictures from the Teaching Zoo at Moorpark College. The students get to show off some of the animals!

So thank goodness for community colleges. Check out what your local ones may offer beyond classes.
Then I went to the Moorpark College website and found that they still proudly declare their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Itβs fundamental to their mission in a way that surpasses other, more prominent colleges. www.moorparkcollege.edu
They helped save an entire endangered species of butterfly! The Palos Verdes Blue Butterfly was thought to have been wiped out in the 80s, but a few dozen were rediscovered after a decade, and the Butterfly Project at the Zoo has raised over 4000.
An alligator has a compound with a bathtub on display nearby, because someone else thought it would be good to keep as a pet in that tub.
Overall, came away impressed by the work done at the Moorpark Zoo.
The lion, we were told, is on academic loan from the MGM casino in Vegas.
The tiger was kept as a pet and abused, and was rescued after the CA Big Cat Commission saw videos of the cub being forced to fight pit bulls on YouTube.
Family went to Moorpark College yesterday to visit their Teaching Zoo. Apart from being windy, it was a lovely afternoon. Got to see a tiger, a lion, and an owl close up.
But the origins of the animals are just as fascinatingβ¦

you do not need to wait for jesus to βcome back.β dig through the rubble of any bombed out apartment complex, office building or, yes, girlsβ school, and youβll find him there, covered in dust.
If students can live with the ambiguity of English language spelling they can also live with ^-1 meaning inverse and sometimes meaning you go to the denominator and sometimes something else.

Math history question: Is Ξ³:[0,1]βX the notation for a path in a space X because
(1) Ξ³ is the third Greek letter β Roman c which stands for curve;
(2) orthographically, Ξ³ β especially when handwritten β looks like a curve; or
(3) Cauchy chose it at random for a complex path integral and it stuck?

Sometimes you just have to work out an example. Good thing we have a wall covered with whiteboard paint.
Sounds like we should talk! This is an ongoing research project with undergraduates, which has drawn me far more into combinatorics than I had been previously. Here are slides from my student's talk at JMM this year (for which she won an Outstanding Speaker award!): drive.google.com/file/d/1cymb...
That would be interesting! This is using local data to record/reconstruct Hamiltonian cycles in circulant graphs (in this case, the family Ci_n(1,5)).
