Over the past twenty-one years, I've posted 365 posts to my blog, on average one every twenty-one days. They total almost half a million words.
That's quite some corpus of work.

365 posts
Checking my blog yesterday, I noticed that I had published 365 posts, one for every day of the year. Which, considering that the oldest post that remains is from the 24th June 2004, almost twenty one years ago, means that I've averaged one post every twenty-one days over that period. Mind you, I've not been consistent; there've been periods I've posted more, others I've posted less.

Pseudodifferential Weyl calculus on vector bundles
We develop a geometric framework for Weyl quantization on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds, in which pseudodifferential operators act on sections of vector bundles equipped with arbitrary connections. We construct the associated star product and compute its semiclassical expansion up to third order in the expansion parameter. A central feature of our approach is a one-to-one correspondence between formally self-adjoint symbols and formally self-adjoint operators, extending known results from flat sp…

Gwen Snyder posted something on Saturday to the effect that “Fascists •need• the appearance of strength, and right now, Trump just looks weak.”
I think it’s easy for us evidence-hungry thinker types to underestimate just how much appearance matters. Massive rallies are not — •must• not be — the endpoint of resistance. However, neither are they purely symbolic. They have a real and concrete effect. They change perceptions, which change human behavior. Yes, they matter. They matter a lot.

#Discord apparently only accounted for OAuth links to activities to be posted, so when I posted a link to a Scatman John bot (don’t ask, or do if you want) it came out like this:

The president posted a furious rant on Truth Social Tuesday, saying that any of his followers who were interested in the Epstein case were falling for Democratic “bullshit,”
and compared it to the “totally fake and made up story used in order to hide Crooked Hillary Clinton’s big loss in the 2016 Presidential Election.”
Similarly to Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, Trump now claims that Epstein files are a “hoax.”
Unfortunately for Trump, Americans don’t care abou…

Panicked Trump Rushes to Create a Distraction From Epstein Files
Donald Trump is throwing everything at the wall and hoping something sticks.

I'm migrating my articles and blogging, and you can kind of follow my process.
I just posted this, which includes this line: "Building your goals in someone else’s sandbox alone is not ideal, a little like building a castle on sand."

Forgive the Instagram link, but someone posted this marvellous piece of voice work on BSky, without attribution, and I had to go looking for it.
Such magnificent prosody; even though done in a Texan accent, it has all the familiar features of the best Shakespearean speeches, recited by the best actors!
Hilarious, but also high art!
