@icecolbeveridge.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gyI think the sensible course is to meet halfway and call it superficial intelligence.
@icecolbeveridge.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gyI made the error of walking down the spread aisle in Asda and now I'm going to have the "atelier Batelier" joke in my head for days.

@icecolbeveridge.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gyMaya Le Tissier has now scored more England goals (1) than Matt.
@icecolbeveridge.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gyToday's listening: The Incredible Jimmy Smith, Back At The Chicken Shack. No, YOU'RE boogie-woogieing around in your chair.
@icecolbeveridge.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gy@pozorvlak Just because I suffered through the Romantic Poets in Year 9 doesn't mean I have to perpetuate the cycle of doggerel ;-)
@icecolbeveridge.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gyI also found it really interesting that 12yo knows Lord Byron primarily as Ada Lovelace's father rather than a celebrity in his own right.
@icecolbeveridge.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gyTIL that Byron Bay, Australia was named after Lord Byron's grandad, Foul-Weather Jack Byron.
@icecolbeveridge.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gyAt open mic, the first band on, a pair of teenagers, go to put their instruments down after one song. Host: "No, it's OK, you don't have to stop after one song, most people do 10 to 15 minutes." Band: "Fifteen minutes?! But we only know two songs! Fortunately the other one is American Pie."

@teakayb.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gyReposted by @icecolbeveridge.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gyA lovely bit of #MathsInMuseums: a 'secret portrait' of Bonnie Prince Charlie. Following 1746's Battle of Culloden, those still loyal could toast the pic, but should a non-Jacobite turn up the mirror could be whipped away, leaving a seemingly abstract swirl [âŚ]

@moof.spaceReposted by @icecolbeveridge.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gyOf course, a trip to Valence TGV means another chance to watch trains go past at 300km/h. And we can never say no to things that go ny000m. Have a thing that went ny000m.
@icecolbeveridge.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gyWhen you think about it, "fly like an eagle" isn't really true. Beyond the wings, they don't have much in common.

@teakayb.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gyReposted by @icecolbeveridge.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gyIf two people discussing the place of #history (& #museums) in #maths education is your bag, you'll like Episode 4 of the @tmip.bsky.social podcast. @peterrowlett & I take the middle segment, sandwiched between one about the #CityOfMaths project & another about running a @MathsJam [âŚ]
