I just tried to share this paper as an answer to a colleague sharing the open letter (openletter.earth/an-open-lett...) as well as other critical opinions on the mailing list of teachers of the faculty of sciences… and the dean of the faculty (who moderates the list) rejected my email. 🙃

British military planners have travelled to Bodø in the Arctic Circle, to rehearse what it would look like if Russia decided to unleash hostile activity on its doorstep. www.politico.eu/article/brit...

NEW: The End of the Line: the centrepiece of Saudi Arabia’s Neom gigaproject - a 500m tall, 170km long wall-like building intended ultimately to house 9 million people - can’t get out of the ground, say more than 20 former Neom architects, engineers and senior executives. ig.ft.com/saudi-neom-l...

✊🏾I’m in Bologna, couldn’t sleep till I knew the result. Good work, NYC.

I was not expecting to hear Marlene Engelhorn talking about the nature of inherited wealth on a BBC radio comedy: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... #wealthtaxes

Russia's disinformation campaign is now using deepfaked audio of Holocaust survivors to attack Armenia, in videos published on the 2nd anniversary of the Hamas October 7th attack on Israel.

I forget which #THFC pod talked about the seeming drop in attendances, but for the Chelsea game? i never thought that it would be hard to sell my ticket for the Chelsea game, yet here we are. #COYS

now that I have actually left the meeting I came here for, and am out foraging for myself, i get why I haven’t been back to Naples since the late 90s/early 2000s - because it took me 20 years to lose the weight I gained in a weekend.

“The British newspaper @thetimes.com has apologized and deleted an article after discovering its reporter had been duped by someone pretending to be Bill de Blasio, the former mayor of New York City.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

ICE treating facial recognition matches as definitive IDs to detain individuals is shockingly irresponsible and dangerous. Facial recognition is a highly temperamental technology, with accuracy varying significantly based on an array of factors. www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

If we can put the clocks back by an hour, what‘s to stop us doing it by a year?

About a tenth of relationships in the UK are mixed race. X seems full of people who think they are the only relationships in TV advertising. This suggests people filter out the ones featuring white families, and then trigger themselves into anger if a mixed race couple appear.

Mmmmmmm, three-part audio dramatisation of Charles Nicholl’s The Reckoning, about the murder of Christopher Marlowe: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Oh god - is the ‘vigorous’ scene in The Diplomat finale somehow linked to Andrew’s use of ‘vigorously’ as detailed by @aiannucci.bsky.social, Ria Lina and @shippersunbound.bsky.social on Strong Message Here? www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Started watching The Iris Affair, and just cannot cope any longer. I’ve stuck out two episodes for the love of Tom Hollander, but even he can’t save this.

Congratulations to SFI Professor Melanie Mitchell (@melaniemitchell.bsky.social), a winner of the 2025 National Academies Eric and Wendy Schmidt Awards for Excellence in Science Communications. Mitchell is recognized for her writing and podcasts on AI and how we think about intelligence.

I will never be able to hear the word ’vigorous’ without traumatising flashbacks to Rory Kinnear. Did Netflix accidentally hire Julia Davis to direct the last episode Of The Diplomat?

We're delighted to launch the pod within a community of like-minded, like-eared, and like-hearted audio friends and colleagues. BWIM Hub & Spoke, of course! Thanks, Wade, for the warm welcome.

“Social conservatism among Indian voters and growing nationalism among Hindus in particular have helped drive them further right on the political spectrum.” Great. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Bizarre obsession with people being Argentinian in the @theguardian.com writeup of the 1:2 loss to Villa. Both Bentancur and Vicario apparently ”Argentines”. #THFC #COYS www.theguardian.com/football/202...

I wish the BBC would repeat this 1992 version of Les Liaisons Dangereuses - Roger Allam, Diana Rigg, Juliet Stevenson, Samue West… genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/381c30196101...

I think Jarvis lost the plot slightly with this moment of improv.

Here’s another classic Pulp chorus

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

But when I asked how the US media was doing covering the US, [Wang] burst into laughter. “If I were the @nytimes.com, I would be putting curse words on the front page every day.
