Notes on Math Culture

I don't follow Toronto politics closely enough to recognize council members and stuff beyond the actual mayoral election, but I'm happy for my Toronto friends and I hope every major city elects people who love their city and the people who love there into leadership

Trash talk, extremely physical play, barely any 3s hit.. the MNBA is the soft league actually

Rude to schedule sports while I have grading to catch up on

You absolutely do not have to hand it to Evangelical Christians, but I guess it's nice that I don't need to walk back any Harry Potter fandom as an adult, they were cooking when they said HP and JK Rowling were problematic

I've collected some things I've written down over the last while about culture in mathematics. Feels like a good night to post them. Notes on Math Culture www.peter-keep.com/2026-10-24-m...

This is an extra funny point because each and every item on the list has had tons of people complaining about the ways that they have gotten worse from a user perspective as they have expanded into requiring larger data center footprints.

This would make a good t shirt to wear to the #AMATYC conference this year

instead of hearing about ai more can you just punch me in the head until I pass out

Relevant again

Watching the MNBA version of C*itlin Cl*rk and it is stunning how similar and annoying the viewing experience is. Big differences otherwise, like fan base for one.

Incredible sequence for the Thunder, Chet stuffs a dunk at one end and Jalen Williams slams home an alley-oop at the other. Building goes nuts

The brass band doing the OKC halftime show is going crazy

whoever did the cover of this?!?

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

Office hours aftermath, this part of my job rules

Grading some stuff for different classes, and three students wrote that they liked the assignments they had. Mostly just pretty normal test-like questions, but a nice little lift for me to read!

Angel Reese FMVP 😍 (not for the Chicago Sky 😭)

Why did I make this

Season opener pregame show and damn Kawhi really is back 🥹

This is why we have multiple screens! Important events on the big screen and fun but ultimately unimportant events on the medium screen.

Doesn't seem feasible now but wow I miss semi-regular pickup basketball runs

Crying over posts from two years ago, day on the life of a Chicago Sky fan

"A couple of girls who have some ties to the A" is a hilarious way to talk about a part owner of the team.

Could see that Angel attacking the rim drive coming a mile away. She's been begging for the ball on these switches. Nice to see her keep her head and finish over a tough Kiah Stokes contest, not getting too frustrated.

I love hearing about the stuff my friends (you included!) are doing in their classrooms with their students. You're all creative and cool and thoughtful. It helps overpower how much I dislike hearing about the stuff random colleagues are doing in their classrooms with their students.

All I see is how many companies have a hold of our kids' data. Good thing data leaks never happen with ed tech companies, because that would make all of this look really irresponsible

#MathSky putting one up on the board, congrats @syncingsinking.bsky.social

damn this rules lol
