How's the saying go? Another conference day filled with algebraists talking about things I don't understand while I struggle to pay attention, another dollar? ... Yeah I think that's it

So instagram sucks and there's no sense of community between creators on YouTube. Bluesky doesn't have good video posting features (and no algorithm to speak of). Are we just boned?

To all the people that said I would still have access to TikTok - guess whose laughing now? ... Not me, I don't have access anymore 😭

Saying goodbye to TikTok is hard. Cultivating an audience the felt like catching lightning in a bottle - and sure, I'll be on YouTube and other places, but it probably won't be the same. But here's to a new chapter!

I love seeing a new @seanmcarroll.bsky.social paper pop up on the arxiv. Haven't read it yet, but I can't wait! arxiv.org/pdf/2501.06609

I don't think I know how to use bluesky properly. I guess I'm used to my thoughts either staying in my head or only being heard by Mrs. Dr. Blitz?

Cosmology probably isn't dead, but certainly Manchak's theorem is a bit worrying! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8NTB8pq/

Realizing that there are only like 4 Hanukkah movies despite us founding Hollywood makes me sad. We need a braveheart style story of Judah the Hammer... and Mel Gibson can do it! He'd earn back out trust if he did it well 😅

You may have seen news about dark energy being debunked recently. Long story short, probably not. But watch for more info! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8N7s1EM/

So space is dark and it's surprising we didn't know why until like the 1900s. Here ya go. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8NWjwm6/

In yesterday's video, I made a stupid 5-second claim that was wrong. So here's a correction! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8NC1sNk/

Here's my best attempt to explain some stuff about quantum computing. It's hard though, without going into explicit algorithms. Have fun! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8N9n5xv/

Feeling cute, decided to post a video about topological gravity in 2+1d. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Nm9S4v/

So I'm pretty disappointed in Google's reporting of the new Willow chip. I "debunk" (or rather clarify) in this new video. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8NUp3Hv/
