Squash Bug War Report:
1 Adult, 2 Egg Pods
Too tired for story time, a simple harvest report will have to do. Getting some nice zucchinis plus a handful of blackberries daily. Onions are coming off the rack and harvested our first jalapeño of the year in nice purple hue.
#gardening #oklahoma
We sadly missed an egg pod on our avocado squash. We killed a bunch of adults and nymphs, but we will see if the ones we missed can kill it. In the mean time, we harvested all that we could plus some zucchini and blackberries.

Squash Bug War Report:

Yes, I killed them. The adults were soldiers. The egg pods were weapons caches. The nymphs? The tribunal calls them children. I call them future war criminals in soft exoskeletons.

Squash Bug War Casualty Report:
Seven Adults, One Egg POD
We few, we happy few, we band of gardeners —
For he today that squashes bugs with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition.
And gentlemen in beds now safe from harm
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their trowels cheap whilst any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispian's Day.
Seven adults. One egg pod. ALL vanquished.
. …
Argh, the squash bugs are back after a couple of days of reprieve. Good news is though there are cute mystery melons and blackberries. 🍈

Composition of bispans of $G$-sets and plethysm

https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.03649 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.03649 https://arxiv.org/html/2606.03649
arXiv:2606.03649v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Let $P(G)$ be the Grothendieck ring of the semiring of endomorphisms of the point in the $1$-category of bispans of finite $G$-sets for a finite group $G$. This is the bispan analogue of the Burnside ring of $G$. The ring $P(G)$ admits a third operation from composition of bispans. We produce a character map for $P(G)$ landing in a plethory built out of polynomial rings and the poset of conjugacy classes of subgroups of $G$. We prove that the character map sends composition of bispans to the plethysm operation -- which is a generalization of composition of polynomials.

Hearken, cowards of the cucumber! We, the Shield-Pair of the Raised Bed, walked the battlefield at dawn and four of thy foul kin now feast in the void.
