who described her mother’s work as “painting” because of her habit of solving problems by doodling shapes, diagrams & formulae all over huge sheets of paper. My portrait incorporates images based on her doodles, & some diagrams from published papers to illustrate both her creative mental world and her contributions to mathematics.⁠

In 2017, Mirzakhani died of breast cancer at the age of 40. Upon her death, several Iranian newspapers broke taboo and published photographs of Mirzakhani with her hair uncovered, drawing international attention. The International Council for Science has agreed to declare Maryam Mirzakhani’s birthday, 12 May, as International Women in Mathematics Day in her memory.⁠

The US is perceived mostly negatively, particularly in EU countries, with Trump himself being the least popular world leader. China overtook the US in global standing, while Russia's reputation is also improving. Israel had the worst global reputation, especially in the Middle East and South Asia, as a result of genocide in Gaza and the West Bank. The survey was conducted online between April 9-23, 2025, with 111,273 respondents across 100 countries.

I just finished Aleksandar Tišma's The Book of Blam which centres on January 1942 killings of Serbs and Jews in Novi Sad by Hungarian occupiers. Detailed descriptions of soldiers entering houses, shooting adults, children. Some of what is reported here is similar, but then I suppose it always is.

'Children handcuffed and shot'...

The image consists of two side-by-side illustrations depicting two individuals in bed. The left illustration shows a person lying on their side, covered with a green blanket, with a headboard featuring vertical slats in the background. The right illustration shows another person, partially visible, with their head resting on a pillow and their hands visible under the blanket, wearing a brown garment. The bedding appears soft and fluffy, with a striped pattern on the blanket. The overall color palette is muted, with soft greens, browns, and whites, creating a calm and restful atmosphere.

These words ring true to me. Even with the rise of social media, there haven’t been a group of influencers who have educated young people about the reasoning and architecture of the US Constitution. Quite the opposite.

And I still read and hear about people on the left who would rather protest than do the hard work of winning elections. These are pervasive problems in the left and the right.

Now you’re being argumentative. This branch of the appellate court is known for being very conservative.

That’s OK. As a European, I would expect you to have some ignorance of the American court system.

This one never made it to the Supreme Court. Aileen Cannon delayed effectively until the election. And her decisions were all shut down by other judges.

It is laughable to think that liberal forces had anything to do with her stupidity and failures as a judge.

Aileen Cannon is just not a good judge. She put it on full display for everybody to see. Her reasoning and writing was generally thought to be subpar.

Online freelancers:
How do you process payments?
I'm setting myself up to provide software tuition online and am now looking at how best to recieve payments.
The top priority is of course that it's easy for clients to use but other considerations are:

- No recurring charges (subscription fees)
- Fair per-transaction processing fees.
- As ethical as possible.

Thanks!

As "Israel’s" war on Gaza intensified throughout 2024, Palestinian voices across global social media platforms have been met with a parallel campaign of digital repression.

A newly released report by Sada Social, a Palestinian digital rights watchdog, exposes the widespread and systematic censorship targeting Palestinian content online.

The Digital Rights Index, documents over 25,000 violations of Palestinian digital expression.
