In the event li'l Donald wanted to read some math this weekend, I compiled a few things:
1) Banach-Tarski patiently explained (…by someone needing a job):
2) "Linguistics Using Category Theory" via John Baez (a bit heavy reading requiring some understanding of category theory, but potentially interesting):
3) Patterns?… “Mystery and Music of the Kaprekar Constant”:
4) “Orthogons” via Brent Yorgey (h/t Patrick Honner):
5) Probabilistic judgements via Quanta Magazine:
6) Dave Richeson learning some math from his son’s Algebra 2 class:
7) Tanya Khovanova offers a puzzle for our times:
8) The latest issue of online journal Inference has some math-related content:
9) Tangential to math, Scott Aaronson took a Wash. Post writer to task (on quantum computing) leading to a slew of comments:
10) For those of you with mathematician spouses, Ben Orlin offered Valentine poems this week that could melt their hearts (… or… maybe NOT):

…Potpourri BONUS! (extra NON-mathematical links of interest):
1) The disappearance of airline flight MH370 is surely one of the greatest mysteries of my lifetime… and, we’re told, it could happen again (h/t Mike Lawler):
2) Sabine Hossenfelder tweeted out this helpful, graphic link to rhetorical and logical fallacies this week:
