Looking a little more ragged than last year, but the Twrch Trwyth is still poking his snout above ground on Christmas Eve to make sure the Overworld is still there.

Huge undersea wall dating from 5000 BC found in France

The 120 metre wall was either a fish-trap or a dyke for protection against rising sea-levels, archeologists believe.

The simplest definition of "enshittification" is this:

Google has made it ridiculously difficult to google things and get a genuinely useful result.

I’m reminded of how, thirty odd years ago, I applied for AHRC funding for a project on science and culture in nineteenth century Ireland. The reviewers were unanimous that there was nothing there to study. Good to see that times have changed!

Yes, dark money fans the flames, but sheesh, was the kindling dry.

Iwan Rhys Morus @irmorus.bsky.social · Nov 19

So the pusillanimity of institutions like the Royal Society or the National Academy of Sciences have no bearing on the erosion of trust? Or the bleating of self appointed leaders about keeping politics out of science?

Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran.com · Nov 19

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.
