Any rugby fans here? Well, the Lions didn't win but we enjoyed the match and the atmosphere at The Aviva Stadium- Lansdowne Road - was fantastic. Looking forward to watching the tour to Austraila from, I'm sorry to say,our armchairs.

Great writeup of the #ATmosphere conference. It was organized by the community — the protocol that powers Bluesky is taking on a life of its own.

I’m finding it very hard to understand the stance of the Royal Society here. Science is part of society, not separate from it, existing in some strange metaphysical bubble. I look across the Atlantic, aghast at the damage being done to science and scientists.

He's the personification of petulant, childish, narcissistic gnome. A bully, a dullard, and a coward. He has the critical thinking skills of a turbot and he socks at golf.

Started the notes on the back story of my new novel Night Rain. Forgot how much I enjoy the creative processs. Anyone else just starting a novel? Drop me a line or two on its development.

Just to reiterate I am indeed a grumpy bastard, but a little so as I just rebought a peavey classic 30. A growly valvey bluesy amp. Lost the last one to a fire. Anyone else own one? Love it right?
