Alt text for those who need it. This is amazing.
Saved by Stoppard Sir, In 1993 my wife and I went to see the first production of Arcadia by Tom Stoppard (obituary, Dec I), and in the interval I experienced a Damascene conversion. As a clinical scientist I was trying to understand the enigma of the behaviour of breast cancer, the assumption being that it grew in a linear trajectory spitting off metastases on its way. In the first act of Arcadia, Thomasina asks her tutor, Septimus: "If there is an equation for a curve like a bell, there must be an equation for one like a bluebell, and if a bluebell, why not a rose?" With that Stoppard explains chaos theory, which better explains the behaviour of breast cancer. At the point of diagnosis, the cancer must have already scattered cancer cells into the circulation that nest latent in distant organs. The consequence of that hypothesis was the birth of "adjuvant systemic chemotherapy", ", and rapidly we saw a striking fall of the curve that illustrated patients' survival. Stoppard never learnt how many lives he saved by writing Arcadia. Michael Baum Professor emeritus of surgery; visiting professor of medical humanities, UCL r.

appreciate this article breaking down a taxonomy of knowledge games (also, unfortunately, known as metroidbrainias)

Against 'Metroidbrania': a Landscape of Knowledge Games
What are knowledge games? How do we relate them to each other? What sub-genres exist – and which ones might be implied?

One of my favourite things anyone has ever said about art. You'll be missed, David. 🌹
“Right here people might bring up Vincent van Gogh as an example of a painter who did great work in spite of—or because of—his suffering. I like to think that van Gogh would have been even more prolific and even greater if he wasn’t so restricted by the things tormenting him. I don’t think it was pain that made him so great—I think his painting brought him whatever happiness he had.” ― David Lynch

These are just a few of my favorite images I captured from this storm of a lifetime. Ridiculous structure, prolific lightning, and a sky full of stars. It doesn't get much better. What a planet we live on.
A towering supercell thunderstorm with three lightning bolts striking the ground and a clear blue sky with stars to its left. A towering supercell thunderstorm with two lightning strikes bracketing the storm and a clear blue sky with stars to its left. A towering supercell thunderstorm with multiple ligfhtning bolts and a bowl-shaped funnel cloud at the bottom. A clear blue sky with stars is to its left.

On the road of life, there are passengers and there are drivers. We want drivers. That's why Tesla Truck is engineered to kill passengers. Automatic ejector seats when you hit 75mph. You can't turn them off.

What? Well it should be. Call Alan Musk. Elon Melt. Call both of them.
