## Unappreciative

Some things I appreciate but which I used to not appreciate: The Bernstein center, $\infty$-categories, etale cohomology, L-packets, perverse sheaves.

Some things I still don’t appreciate: Monads, endoscopy, rigid cohomology, A-packets, Springer theory.

## Rampage six weeks in

When we first discussed the idea of running a weekly online seminar on p-adic geometry, I figured there would be around 30 or so participants at each talk. It’s a bit crazy, then, that the audience for the first six RAMpAGe talks has ranged from 80 to over 225 people. A huge thanks to everyone for their participation and interest! We have many more excellent speakers in store for you! If you have any feedback for us, please don’t hesitate to get in contact.

Two more points:

1. We are doing our best to post notes and videos (at the speakers’ discretion) for each talk on the seminar website linked above. Hopefully we will post notes for every talk!
2. Bogdan Zavyalov planned to mention the sad case of Azat Miftakhov at the end of his talk. Due to the extended mathematical discussion, this ended up not happening, so I am mentioning it here instead. Please please go here and read more.

Anyway, the paper should basically be stable at this point, with the exception that $\S4.3$ will probably be rewritten to some degree once Peter’s six-functors book is done.  The only real difference from the the first version is that the material around the “pointwise criterion” in $\S2.2$ has been streamlined and clarified a bit.  All comments, questions or corrections are very welcome!
