Airlines Challenge Protections For Travelers With Wheelchairs
A landmark rule to expand the rights of disabled air travelers has been hamstrung by a lawsuit from major airlines and delayed enforcement by the Transportation Department.

#Sting 1986, when I was young:
****
In Europe and America
There's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mr. Khrushchev said, "We will bury you"
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children …

BLAKE: Take a look.

BLAKE: [To Avon] Thank you.
AVON: Glad to be of help.
JENNA: You don't sound too sure about that. Thanks anyway. Nice flying.
[Blake goes to intercom]

I usually like Odd Lots but this a particularly non incisive interview with a person who seems to be a professional spokesperson for billionaires. What a fucking awful job. Be worth following up on the bullshit facts promulgated by a trade association for billionaires.

Progress! Mexico becomes latest country to ban marine mammal performances — Species Unite
In a step forward to animal protection, lawmakers voted unanimously to ban marine mammal breeding, performances, and concrete tanks following years of advocacy.

This guy makes me laugh!

On isomorphisms of semi-free Hamiltonian $S^1$-manifolds and fixed point data
Following Gonzales, we answer the question of whether the isomorphism type of a semi-free Hamiltonian $S^1$-manifold of dimension six is determined by certain data on the critical levels. We first give counter examples showing that Gonzales' assumptions are not sufficient for a positive answer. Then we prove that it is enough to further assume that the reduced spaces of dimension four are symplectic rational surfaces and the interior fixed surfaces are restricted to at most one level. The addit…

Cactus flower spaces and monodromy of Bethe vectors
We continue the study of cactus flower moduli spaces $\overline{F}_n$ and Gaudin models started in arXiv:2308.06880, arXiv:2407.06424. We show that isomorphism classes of operadic coverings of the real form $\overline{F}_n(\mathbb{R})$ are naturally one-to-one with equivalence classes of concrete coboundary monoidal categories (i.e. coboundary monoidal categories that admit a faithful monoidal functor to sets) with certain semisimplicity and finiteness conditions. Following the strategy of arXi…
