Historians sometimes put their own opinions into their papers. I honestly like this. It really shows how enthusiastic they are. I wish they would let scientists do that.

Reading a bit of al-Birūnī's Chronology of Ancient Nations. The man was brilliant, but could still misunderstand his sources, as this passage from chapter 5 illustrated. For context, he is talking about how the Greeks measure time (ie, the Julian calendar).

Looked up my constituncy, and @CatherineGalway crushed it! :dancingpenguin:

Let's hope we can do the same for Dáil elections at some point.

Fuck this headline.

RTÉ, do better. You don't need to copy PA verbatim.

Here is an accurate headline: "Manhunt continues in UK for sex offender released from prison by mistake"

But it wasn't all rebellion and treachery. There was also some scary stuff.

In fairness, I did try to overthrow the king.

But they found me guilty of witchcraft! Seriously? Come on, it the curse only caused impotence!

Edinburgh is really fond of Sir Walter Scott. Is he the most Scottish Scot in all of Edinburgh?

It's a great year for blackberries, so I had to find some way to use them up.

TIL about Elasmotherium sibericum. Nicknamed the Siberian unicorn, it roamed the Asian steppes from 2.6 million to 39000 years ago. It was a relative of the rhinoceros with shaggy fur and a single enormous horn in the middle of its head.

It's a real shame […]
