A picture is emerging in the byelection counts. Hugh is joined by Pat Leahy, Harry McGee and Jack Horgan-Jones to discuss what we have learned so far:On the basis of the numbers available on Saturday afternoon, Social Democrats councillor Daniel Ennis and Fine Gael senator Sean Kyne look well placed to take seats in Dublin Central and Galway West respectively. But transfers could still shift result in Galway West where Independent Ireland's Noel Thomas is polling strongly.The anti-establishment vote in Dublin Central has grown significantly with strong showings from both Gerry Hutch and Malachy Steenson.Sinn Féin's apparent failure to top the poll in either constituency is a bad result for the leader of the opposition Mary Lou McDonald.The results are even worse for Fianna Fáil, with its showing in Dublin Central, once a party stronghold, likely to be of particular concern to Taoiseach Micheál Martin.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

A Fine Gael Senator and bye-election candidate has said that it is unacceptable that Galway has no accommodation for individuals and families leaving crisis situations. Senator Seán Kyne said that there are 10 refuge units, but no transitional accommodation for families who need a safe place to rebuild their lives. Senator Kyne said while the investment has led to new refuge and Safe Home units across the country, Galway remains without a single unit, leaving survivors with no supported accommodation options once they leave emergency refuge. Safe Home units provide medium-term, supported accommodation for individuals and families leaving crisis situations and are a core pillar of the State's Zero Tolerance Strategy to Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence and are designed to stop survivors from being forced back into unsafe environments. Speaking to Galway Bay FM News, Senator Kyne said it is important that every support possible is made available by the Government.

Episode #338: “[The quake] revealed the tragic disconnect between the government's understanding—or perhaps, willingness to communicate—the severity of the disaster and the actual level of risk facing the population.”In a compelling analysis, Professor Dean Kyne critiques Myanmar's disaster management, highlighting how decades of military rule have prioritized authoritarian control over public welfare. He illustrates this with the 2008 Cyclone Nargis, when the junta ignored early warnings and downplayed the storm to proceed with a constitutional referendum ... and over 138,000 people died.Kyne argues that instead of learning from this tragedy, the regime has doubled down, now weaponizing disaster response. Following the recent earthquake, search and rescue was blocked, aid was withheld, and military authorities even prevented international teams from entering. Humanitarian responder Kiran Verma, for instance, was stopped at gunpoint. “This wasn't logistical failure,” Kyne says, “it was humanitarian suppression under authoritarian rule.” He notes that corruption further undermines aid distribution: local junta-aligned leaders steal and resell aid. Worse, young male relief volunteers are reportedly being forcibly recruited, and legitimate aid workers face harassment from pro-junta paramilitaries.Kyne proposes a three-part framework for international response: pragmatic, political, and moral. He urges aid agencies to bypass the junta, work through opposition-held zones, and commit to long-term recovery. Community resilience, he emphasizes, can start with education alone—empowering locals through training and digital platforms.He closes with a message of solidarity: “To the people in Myanmar, you have to be very strong. And for the international community members, please continue with what you have been doing, and please support the affected individuals.”

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that wants you to have the gay audacity to do ANYTHING your little queer heart desires! This week Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Kyne Santos (@onlinekyne), the Math Drag Queen and author of Math In Drag. From an early age, Kyne knew he loved two things, math…and makeup. He could never have known back then that those two loves would lead him on a journey to becoming the Math Queen! Through his recently released book and viral TikTok videos, he uses drag as an avenue for making math more approachable and fun for everyone. Whether you consider yourself good at math, “bad with numbers” or anything in between, Kyne is here to broaden your mindset and help you to embrace the beautiful possibilities of both math and drag.  When we are little, people decide pretty quickly to put us into the math/science box or the creative/arts box. The truth is so much more nuanced than that, with math applying to every creative pursuit you can think of. Even songwriters are doing math every single time they write a note on a page. Math in itself is a creative puzzle solving tool and when embraced can open a whole new world of possibilities. What we learn in K-12 is usually just the basic tools of math and it is a shame that learning seems to stop right before getting to the more creative applications. Math and creativity do not have to be kept in separate boxes, and Kyne's book and videos show that there are ways to approach math that are much more relatable and fun.  We talk with Kyne about both math and gender as social constructs, the economics of being a contestant on Drag Race through the lens of Game Theory, how math is used in music (sound engineering, anybody?), and the importance of keeping an open mind about math and drag alike.  Kyne's book, Math In Drag, is available now (and the audiobook is coming soon!).

SummaryIn this conversation, Gabriel Hesch interviews Kyne Santos, an online creator who combines art, music, and performance in math education. They discuss the intersection of math and music, the controversy surrounding math and drag, and the creative side of math. They also explore topics such as topology, mathematical shapes, and influential books in math. The conversation highlights the importance of challenging traditional definitions and finding new and innovative ways to engage with math education.Takeaways Math and music have a strong connection, and math can be used to analyze, manipulate, and create music. Combining art and math education can make learning math more engaging and fun. Topology is a branch of mathematics that relaxes the rigid terms used in geometry and focuses on the similarities and differences between shapes. Mathematical discoveries can come from playing around and exploring different possibilities. Challenging traditional definitions and thinking creatively are important aspects of math education.Chapters00:00 Introduction: Best Song Ever Created02:03 Introduction of Guest: Kyne Santos03:00 Math and Drag: Combining Art and Math Education07:45 Addressing Controversy: Math and Drag08:15 Music and Math: The Intersection09:14 Mathematical Shapes: Mobius Strip10:10 Topology vs Geometry13:01 Holes and Topology15:14 Topology and Thought Experiments21:13 Aperiodic Monotiles: New Math Discovery23:02 New Shapes and Descriptive Rules25:26 Influential Books: The Quantum Story and Incomplete Nature27:01 Conclusion and Next Episode Preview

It's a common refrain from elementary school to adulthood: “I'm bad at math.” It's a hard subject for a lot of people, and it has a reputation for being—let's face it—boring. Math isn't taught in a flashy way in schools, and its emphasis on memorization for key concepts like multiplication tables and equations can discourage students.It's not hard to understand why: Math has long been seen as a boy's club, and a straight, cis boy's club at that. But Kyne Santos, a drag queen based in Kitchener, Ontario, wants to change that.Kyne is on a mission to make math fun and accessible to people who have felt like math isn't for them. Her new book, “Math in Drag,” is one part history lesson, one part math guidebook, and one part memoir. Kyne speaks with Ira about “celebrity numbers,” Möbius strips, and why math and drag are more similar than you may think.Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
