Smithsonian removes Trump from impeachment exhibit in American history museum
A temporary placard, on display since 2021, described the president's historic impeachments. Officials said the exhibit was restored to an earlier version following a review of legacy content.

Mildly interesting: Der #Gasspeicher #Rehden ist wieder leer. Zuletzt passierte das 2021/2022 unter Gazprom und quasi-Russischer Kontrolle. Aktuell gäbe es Angebot, Preise sind etwa auf Vorjahresniveau. Wäre interessant zu wissen, warum der aktuelle Betreiber den Sommer nicht fürs Nachf…

Remarks on radial symmetry of stationary and uniformly-rotating solutions for the 2D Euler equation
We prove that any uniformly rotating solution of the 2D incompressible Euler equation with compactly supported vorticity $ω$ must be radially symmetric whenever its angular velocity satisfies $Ω\in (-\infty,\inf ω/ 2] \cup \, [ \sup ω/ 2, +\infty )$, in both the patch and smooth settings. This result extends the rigidity theorems established in \cite{Gom2021MR4312192} (\textit{Duke Math. J.},170(13):2957-3038, 2021), which were confined to the case of non-positive angular velocities and non…
