IF you’re on Twitter and you’re interested in math-related material, then you likely already know of John D. Cook and his terse blog posts, but you might not be aware of ALL his Twitter accounts (I guess there are worse addictions one could have! ;)
Check them out here:
https://www.johndcook.com/blog/twitter_page/
