I misread the name of the band as "diode" when I clicked, but I wasn't disappointed even after I realized my mistake. Wonderful little Tiny Desk performance from *dodie*:

"no evidence that RedStone Strategies was registered as a political group, and there do not appear to be any records documenting its donors, contributions or spending.

...appears that Mr. Santos was directly involved... also has ties to a Redstone Strategies LLC, registered... as Mr. Santos was preparing his second run for Congress. The firm listed the Devolder Organization, a company owned by Mr. Santos, as one of its managing officers."

• 3 by 3 grid with pictures of mathematicians and descriptions. First row: Good Lawful: GAUSS Prove it! Neutral: MCLAUREN Study a special case of an already proven theorem. Chaotic: CANTOR-SCHRÖDER-DEDEKIND-BERNSTEIN Cantor publishes the theorem without proof. Dedekind proves but does not publish it. Schröder announces, it is a mere consequence of another theorem. Bernstein presents his proof. Simultaneously ... Second row: Neutral Lawful: L'HÔPITAL Buy the rights to the theorem from another mathematician. Neutral: MORRIE Teach a funny trigonometry fact to a childhood friend of yours, who turns out to become one of the most influential physicists of your generation and names it after you. Chaotic: PYTHAGORAS Be the leader of an ancient math cult. Third row: Evil Lawful: POINCARÉ Conjecture something and hope that the name sticks. Neutral: RIEMANN Make a wrong assumption (which you name after Dirichlet to make it seem more plausible) and use it to give a wrong proof - but the name sticks anyway. Chaotic: FERMAT Take the most ridiculously hard theorem you can possibly find, claim you can prove it but don’t have enough space on the page left and let the math world go crazy about it for the next 350 vears.

• Two people in long, white linen robes with hoods. The hoods have baskets fixed into them, so their faces appear to be just flat circles of basket weave. Their hands are uncovered, and they’re carrying beehive baskets. (remote)

What's going on with fdroid? Every time I see an update notification, it tells me it failed parsing the package. Super annoying.
