Sending up the dictionary shaped bat signal for @dontattempt.bsky.social ! Surely there must be a word for the shared embarrassment you and she feels when you open the chicken coop to collect eggs and interrupt a hen in the process of laying?

Santa Claus (in ornament form) is dead. I've had this guy since I was a small child, so it's a bit sad to see him go.

Incredible the difference I'm observing mere hours after the child social media ban. Four boys on my street started a journey from their treehouse to find the body of a missing kid in the wilderness. Along the way, they're learning about themselves, & the meaning of friendship. Great to see

On holidays and the tv remote of the house we're in died. Of course it's a new tv, so there are no buttons. We're playing a new game called "ABC* roulette" where you just watch whatever is on the channel the tv is stuck on

It really is remarkable how turning your computer off and on again will, in fact, solve so many problems

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.

Through a somewhat unexpected series of events I'm listening to Neuromancer read by the man himself, @greatdismal.bsky.social . It is, without hyperbole, the most excellent experience. I am a very happy boy
