I've not seen this particular mural, but if you ever find yourself near an English country church in the middle of no where you will most probably find it unlocked, and inside, an ark of art built up over generations (now, often, sitti

A lot of interesting debate on phone bans right now. Including a great discussion on twitter about how some of the research being used to justify bans is using some dodgy stats: https://x.com/MatthewBJane/status/18

They produced a video each week for six years outlining what was going on in the second world war. Quite an undertaking and quite a historical document in itself. The full 868 video playlist is here: https://m.youtube.com/pl

The thing that jumps out to me is how well read Einstein is, some of the modern day scientists could do with a much broader education. CP Snow's two cultures argument seems more relevant now than ever.

Probably my naiivity here, but why isn't R on the list?

More exciting, perhaps, are the number of roads in Britain called "the street": https://peterejkemp.github.io/demos/roman_roads/roman_roads....

That solves it then. When I was a fresh cheeked starter at IBM, the grey beards always called it "sequel", whilst we called it "ess queue ell". Always listen to the grey beards
