Alfred Brendel 1931-2025

Very sorry to read that Alfred Brendel, one of the great pianists of the last century, has passed away. I was lucky to hear Brendel play on several occasions, and will always treasure his recordings.

Karla's Choice by @harkaway.bsky.social is a £1.99 Kindle Daily Deal on Amazon UK right now, or the same price on Kobo for those who would rather support a different tech billionaire's bookshop.

Cases of clade IIb Mpox surge dramatically in Sierra Leone, just as US withdraws funding for programmes that could have helped. Meanwhile the UK, which has also been active in SL (e.g. during EVD outbreak), has announced drastic cut in overseas aid budget. 'No one is safe until everyone is safe'...
The spread of Mpox in Sierra Leone is unlike anything we have ever seen - and we have been keeping an eye on this bug in the region for >15 years.

Given geographical spread, 50/50 men vs women, this is no "sexual network".

This could be the next one.

'Fingers Crossed' by @mikiberenyi.bsky.social is a 99p Kindle Daily Deal on Amazon UK right now (and #1 on their Music ebook chart). I have the hardback (signed, of course) but at this price it seemed rude not to add the ebook.

'Today, mounting evidence from more than a dozen studies points to a person, or people, catching the virus from a wild animal or animals at the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, China, the city at the epicentre of the outbreak. And the animal at the top of the list is the raccoon dog'
What sparked the COVID pandemic? Mounting evidence points to raccoon dogs
More than five years on, studies suggest the animal is the most likely culprit, but other candidates haven’t been ruled out.

'At one point the notes seemed to be echoing like bells in the distance as everyone in the auditorium held their breath to hear them. Argerich played with the rapture of someone discovering the notes for the first time, revelling in their quiet mystery.'
