It’s week #18 of America-held-hostage by Donald Trump (...or Steve Bannon?), and here are some math bits:
1) Good interview over at Math Blog with some bloke named Keith Devlin:
2) John Baez on set theory, forcing, and “set-theoretic geology”:
3) A puzzle of Erdös’ revisited:
4) Marcus du Sautoy with a very basic intro to Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem (via Numberphile):

6) A few connections between math and music:
7) ICYMI, yesterday I noted some of the recent offerings from Princeton University Press of interest:
