Bilingual stickers at a railway station in Dublin.
Two stickers stuck to a lamppost. The top sticker says in Irish: A chailíní meabhar-ghalracha an domhain ar fad - aontaígí & éirigí amach! The bottom sticker says in English: Mentally ill girlies of the whole wide world - unite and rise up@

This is my breakfast. I feel very smug.
A plate of food: brioche French toast, crispy bacon, mascarpone, raspberries, blueberries, and maple syrup.

Seen in Dublin.
A sticker on a lamp post that reads Make Alternative Grocery Arrangements, Grab'em by the economy! The initials of the first four words are aligned to spell out MAGA, and in the corner there is an American flag with a strikethrough over it.

We had lamb for dinner, as is traditional, but I felt like doing something different, so I cooked T'uhu, an ancient Babylonian lamb and beetroot stew made with beer. Used the recipe by Max Miller of Tasting History and it was absolutely delicious. A+, would celebrate the demise of Tiamat again.
A bowl of red-coloured lamb and beetroot stew garnished with chopped leek, cilantro, and coriander seeds.

From Control: The dark history and troubling present of eugenics, by Adam Rutherford.
That last question is inevitable. Science is the pursuit of truth, and that should be enough of a justification for doing any research. We do it because it's interesting, and if you don't agree you can fuck off, as the editor-in-chief of New Scientist once said. But that's not totally true. Science is in the service of knowledge AND of people. The knowledge does not exist independently of people. There is, arguably, a moral obligation within the study of humans that the knowledge accrued should improve our lives, as societies and individually, and where possible, it should reduce suffering.

From the book I'm currently reading:
"Genocide and forced migration (again).
You must have been saying to yourselves that this chapter was lacking in genocides and forced migrations. Well, here we are."
(book is Les mots sont apatrides by RF Monté)
Génocide et déplacement forcé (encore) Vous devez vous dire que ce chapitre manque de génocidez et de migrations forcées. Eh bien, nous y voila.

Advent calendar acquired! ...by my friend, obviously.
A photograph of a Marks & Spencer Advent calendar, with Science Museum branding, themed around eclipses and with two windows already opened.
