A dead mathematician co-authored a paper after appearing in a dream: https://boingboing.net/2021/07/20/a-person-in-a-dream-co-authored-a-math-paper.html
The paper is "Higher Algebraic \(K\)-Theory of Schemes and of Derived Categories" by Robert Wayne Thomason and Thomas Trobaugh (2007), https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-8176-4576-2_10, https://www.ams.org/mathscinet-getitem?mr=1106918
It appears to have been quite an influential one; the MR review calls it a landmark, and it has over 1000 citations on Google Scholar.

“To Carlson, objectivity is conformity, and conformity is cowardice. The more authoritative the facts, the more skeptical he becomes.” This is becoming an uncomfortably common view of measured reasoning…sure seems like a longing for the dark ages https://apple.news/AdEr5DzxBQp2mm2wnugZ7PQ
Well, I’m glad they’re getting sued. “…women were offered lower
compensation and less lucrative job assignments than their male counterparts.
[Blizzard] paid female employees significantly less… then their male counterparts.” https://aboutblaw.com/YJw

I legit spent 15 minutes just dancing in my room and marveling at the notion of the audio. Someone get this into a silent disco, like, yesterday
Ok y’all. I was skeptical of spatial audio as a music-only experience… I was wrong. This is really immersive and it’s wonderful. Especially in the context of not having attending a concert since the over of covid.
Does the executive branch have the power to compel members of the legislative branch? If this were to happen, it would represent a dangerous shift in the relationships of the governmental branches. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/texas-democrats-voting-restrictions/2021/07/12/99d35154-e326-11eb-8aa5-5662858b696e_story.html

Breonna Taylor, Graphic Video
(14:12) To Mr Walker’s cries of “My girlfriend is dead,” police respond “I don’t give a - keep walking.” Is this what they mean by “serve and protect”? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDaNU7yDnsc
