I see some discourse about ditching the former Twitter, and so I'll remind folks that the best reason to there is that it's a fucking Nazi bar and we all deserve better. I'm on social media to enjoy conversation with cool folks. Bluesky does a bang-up job of that. The former Twitter doesn't.

Across the James Bond films between 1962 and 2021, Bond takes 86 international trips, has 59 sexual liaisons and washes his hands twice. Because of this, researchers believe he is likely to die of acute diarrhoea.

The internet exists because we invested in science.
Decades before it changed the world, the NSF laid the groundwork for the internet—funding research, building networks, and connecting universities. Without public investment, there would be no world wide web.

This week, we have been on a wine-tasting tour in France, stopping at Reims, Chablis and Epernay. The restaurant recommendation is La Grand Georgette. Really great food. Lovely staff. Just fabulous. The pictures probably speak for themselves (lobster ravioli, venison & eel tartare, veal, tapioca).

The quintessential 70s album, the perfect antidote to late-60s naivety. 'What's going on' is the definitive soundtrack to tumultuous times; an emotional marriage of soul and wisdom; maybe the best concept album ever recorded. And a serious contender for #5albums70sfinal
