No offense but I think we underestimate how many of our current problems, both cultural and political, are downstream of the decline in reading, the decline in learning and the loss of interest in the humanities.

Wow! I'm sitting by my window with my coffee and laptop, working on edits, and I have Ludovico Einaudi playing on Youtube and thought...is he here?

And he is! @ludovicoeinaudioff.bsky.social

Beautiful stuff! Check out 'Waterways' for an introduction if you've never listened before.

Is this prune stew with rice a contender for Romania’s National Dish? To celebrate Romania’s National Day, I’m sharing a dish that blends the sweetness of dried fruits and caramelised sugar, reflecting Byzantine heritage. But what is Romanian cuisine? Find the answer and recipe in comments.

Oh, is it Cyber Monday? Well, you can get a subscription to my Bad Astronomy Newsletter for a discounted price of $48/year, and/or give it as a gift subscription too. That's only about 30 cents per issue!

The whole universe, for pennies a week. 😀

There are thin tubes that connect the corner of your eye to your nose.

The tears that don’t run down your face will drain into your nose, which is why your nose runs when you cry.

Keep the tissues close as you pivot to romantic holiday movies this season.

If you're planning on shopping this cyber Monday, why not consider supporting artists, writers, creators? Buy a book, purchase an indie video game, commission an art piece, gift someone a Patreon. Your support means everything.

Angry floofy! 😍
Next to the snow leopard, the Pallas's cat is the most elusive cat in the world.
The cat’s solitary habitat in the trans-Himalayan region makes it difficult to spot.
