Lego Smart Bricks ausprobiert: Cool für Kids, für Nerds nix
Schießen, Kämpfen, Quirlen und Brabbeln: Die ersten Star-Wars-Sets mit Smart Bricks sind da. Unser erster Eindruck im Hands-on: intuitiver Spielspaß für Kinder.

That doesn't sound at all sinister.

Trump says Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead after US-Israeli strikes
Trump describes Khamenei as "one of the most evil people in history", reiterates his call for the Iranian people to "take back their country", and says the bombing of Iran will continue.

Lifting systems for finite length modules

Abstract: This paper is concerned with lifting modules along a surjective map of noetherian local rings, say $\varphi \colon R \twoheadrightarrow S$. A finitely generated $R$-module $L$ is a naive lift of an $S$-module $M$ if $L \otimes_R S \cong M$. We are concerned with the maximum depth and dimension among all naive lifts of $M$, which we call the liftable depth and liftable dimension, respectively, of $M$ along $\varphi$. We approach this via a notion of lifting systems that we introduce in this paper. We then provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a module of finite length to lift and Serre lift to a regular local ring in terms of lifting systems.

Here is the message from the mother of this family:
(Translated from Spanish)
Hi, my name is Karol Fuentealba. I’m a mom to Jeremías, 18 years old, Emiliano, 17, and Mía, 4 years old. I live in Queens, New York, together with my children. A few years ago I made one of the hardest decisions of my life: leaving my country Chile 🇨🇱 to find a safer future for my kids. For years I was exposed to physical and psychological abuse from the father of my children. Starting over in a different country has not been easy. We’ve had to face many challenges, moments of uncertainty, and sacrifices but every day I keep fighting with hope, because the only thing I long for is to be able to give my children a dignified, safe life full of opportunities.
Today I am trying to raise the money needed to obtain our work permits and my documents. For many people this might seem like something simple, but for me it means everything: it means being able to work legally, to save up to live in peace outside of the shelter where we have been for the past 8 months, and to secure the stability and future of my children. I have managed to save a part of it with great effort, but I still need to complete the amount before the deadline to resubmit. I currently have 10 days to raise that amount, which is $2,240, and I have saved up $700. That is why, with great humility and an open heart, I want to ask for help. Any support, no matter how small, can make a big difference for us. Even sharing this message is already a way to help us. Every gesture of solidarity brings us a little closer to stability and to the dream of building a better future for my family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my story and for any support you may be able to offer us. Your help means hope for me and my family.

It's official! This Sunday will be the last "leap forward" in BC!
As of next November, the Vancouver time zone in British Columbia, Canada will be referred to as "Pacific Time" and will be -7GMT permanently. (same as Yukon Territory which did this 2 years ago)
The presser was pretty cute actually. They had kids with little clocks, and they danced.
I would have preferred staying at Standard Time, but this will be ok too. It's interesting that Premier Eby made a point of (gently, as there were kids) insisting the delay of 6 years since the overwhelming survey response from British Columbians to eliminate the time change was due to waiting for the US West Coast states to do the same.
Now, BC has decided to push, and to lead by example.

Jimmy has chosen wisely.
Kudos @… for leading the charge!
