It's nice to see furry-accessible airports but ... They could have made the tail hole a little larger.

Airport waiting area chair with a hole where the seat back and bottom meet. Perfectly placed for a tail to hang through instead of being uncomfortably sat on, as long as said tail isn't too bushy

Content warning: Real stupid sexual content.

Well, didn’t have this on my Bingo™️ card.
Some British OnlyFans creators are popularizing what they’re calling a Cum Walk. It’s exactly what it sounds like. Getting millions of views on TikTok, apparently.
“The so-called 'cum walk' sees women strolling through public areas with ejaculate all over their faces - like a much more severe 'walk of shame'.”

Trump signs an EO declaring that a proposed deal allowing TikTok to continue operating in the US will be a qualified sale that meets national security concerns (Associated Press)

Trump says China's Xi has approved of proposed deal putting TikTok under US ownership
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order declaring that a proposed deal allowing TikTok to continue operating in the United States will be a qualified sale that meets national security concerns laid out by the law. Much is still unknown about the actual arrangement, but Trump said Chinese President Xi Jinping “gave us the go-ahead” to proceed with the deal. Any major change to the popular video platform could have a huge impact on how Americans — particularly young adults and …

Reconstructing graphs and their connectivity using graphlets
Graphlets are small subgraphs rooted at a fixed vertex. The number of occurrences of graphlets aligned to a particular vertex, called graphlet degree sequence, gives a topological description of the surrounding of the analyzed vertex. In this article, we study properties and uniqueness of graphlet degree sequences. The information given by graphlets up to size (n-1) is utilized graphs having certain type of asymmetric vertex-deleted subgraphs. Moreover, we show a reconstruction of trees from th…

Boundary effect on asymptotic behaviour of solution to the hyperbolic-parabolic chemotaxis system
This paper is concerned with the global existence and stability of solution to the quasi linear hyperbolic-parabolic chemotaxis system on the half-line,which was proposed in[1] to primarily describe the formation of coherent vascular networks observed invitro experiment. Under two diffrent boundary conditions,we first establish the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the asymptotic state equation (the so-called nonlinear diffusion wave),and then prove that the solution of the orig…

Empirical PAC-Bayes bounds for Markov chains

arxiv.org/abs/2509.20985 arxiv.org/pdf/2509.20985

Empirical PAC-Bayes bounds for Markov chains
The core of generalization theory was developed for independent observations. Some PAC and PAC-Bayes bounds are available for data that exhibit a temporal dependence. However, there are constants in these bounds that depend on properties of the data-generating process: mixing coefficients, mixing time, spectral gap... Such constants are unknown in practice. In this paper, we prove a new PAC-Bayes bound for Markov chains. This bound depends on a quantity called the pseudo-spectral gap. The main …

"PHP is the lingua franca of affordable web hosting options; or, in other terms, the Toyota Corolla of programming languages: boring, solid, easy, and affordable. You can find, almost anywhere in the world, an affordable web hosting with the saint quadrinity of LAMP: Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP; an OS, a web server, a database server, and a scripting language, in an inexpensive package, enabling the masses to go further. Paraphrasing George Clooney, what else?"

The Toyota Corolla Of Programming
In 1995, an otherwise unknown software developer released the first version of a new scripting language whose explicit aim was to make applications for this new platform called "The World Wide Web". After starting as a small project, and thanks to the crazy dot-com years, it grew dramatically to become one of the most widely used programming languages of all time. After some stumbling first steps, it eventually got some sort of standardization in 1997, even reluctantly including some OOP featur…

Content warning: "long" rant about american sci-fi tv series and "neuro-archy"

I have the distinct impression that we could use most American "sci-fi" TV series (which seem to have a kink for post-apocalyptical scenographies) as a diagnostic tool for the autism spectrum.
For a moment, let's leave aside the tons of right-wing propaganda "hidden" in plain sight, and their excessive reliance on boring & worn out tropes (religious & cultish bullshit, irrational lack of communication & excess of anti-social behaviour, all vs all, ultra-low-iq characters*, psychotic & irrationally treacherous characters*, ultra-inconsistent character development used to justify "unexpected" plot twists, rampant anti-intellectualism...).
What could be used as a diagnosis tool is the incredible amount of strong inconsistencies that we can find in them**. It throws me out of the story every single time; and I suspect that it takes a certain kind of "uncommon personality" to feel that way about it, because otherwise these series wouldn't be so popular without real widespread criticism beyond cliches like "too slow", "it loses steam towards the end of the season", etc.
Many of those plots start in a gold mine of potentially powerful ideas... yet they consistently provide us with dirt & clay instead, while side-lining the "good stuff" as if it was too complicated for the populace.
Do you feel strongly about it? Do you feel like you can't verbalize it without being criticised as "too negative", or "too picky", or an "unbearable snob"? Do you wonder why it seems like nobody around shares your discomfort with these stories?
* : I feel this is a bit like the chicken & egg problem. Has the media conditioned part of American society to behave like dumb psychopaths as if it was something "natural", or is the media reflecting what was already there? Also, could we use other societies as models for these stories... just for a change? Please?
** : Just a tiny example: a "brilliant" engineer who builds a bridge out of fence parts and who doesn't bother to perform the most basic tests before trying it in a real setting and suffer the consequences: the bridge failing and her falling into the void. Bonus points for anyone who knows what I'm talking about.

Existence, uniqueness and construction of locally most reliable two-terminal graphs

Existence, uniqueness and construction of locally most reliable two-terminal graphs
A two-terminal graph is a graph G equipped with two vertices in V(G) called terminals. Let T(n,m) be the set of two-terminal graphs on n vertices and m edges. Let G be in T(n,m) and let p be in [0,1]. The two-terminal reliability of G at p, denoted R_G(p), is the probability that G has a path joining its terminals after each of its edges is independently removed with probability 1 - p. We say G is a locally most reliable two-terminal graph (LMRTTG) if for each H in T(n,m) there exists a positiv…
