In this piece, I argue that #Shakespeare's genius lies in his ability to live with #uncertainty https://t.co/VXU7RsC7T5

@JamesWHankins1 Venice had already permitted lending money to the poor well before 1515. Jews were allowed to trade in Venice and eventually they were allowed to settle there; their primary function was lending money to the poor from ca 1385.

Mi ricordo quando Allegri fu sollevato dal suo incarico dopo un bruttissimo Sassuolo Milan 4-3.

"In his interview with the Telegraph, Farage said: “This money was given to me so that I would be safe and secure for the rest of my life."

Really hope that he is no longer on the brink of homelessness...

Trump resuscitates Jeffrey Epstein

[John Simpson @JohnSimpsonNews]

President Trump has posted this picture on social media of himself as Christ healing the sick. I’ve long given up saying how hard it is to think of any previous US president who behaved like Donald Trump, but comparing himself to Jesus puts him on another level altogether.

So turns out the “London is collapsing” narrative isn’t grassroots at all.

It’s being pumped out by bots, content farms, and foreign-aligned networks then laundered through politicians and media.

Manufacture the fear. Repeat it enough. Turn it into policy.

One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday.

These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war.

This, by a former colleague, is horrifying but all too familiar. Universities paying vast sums to management companies who tell them to "streamline" teaching in ways that are fundamentally unacademic and not in the interests of students... For shame.

@whynotstartt @cb_doge Hmmm, the difference is Elon Musk doing more drugs than most people of his age combined. That said , we’re all in favour of him spending as much time as possible on planet Mars. It sounds like he should be the one pioneering that sweet sweet Mars life

[Lorenzo Zucca @Lzucca]

Yes 👏

Peer review was supposed to be science’s quality filter, but somewhere along the way it started acting more like a bouncer who only lets in the regulars. It’s slow, it tends to favor established labs and familiar names, and it gets uncomfortable around anything too unconventional. Papers loaded with mountains of data tend to cruise through, while bold ideas that actually challenge the consensus get stuck in limbo or turned away at the door.

The irony is that where a paper gets published almost never determines its real worth. What actually matters is what the scientific community does with it afterward, whether people cite it, argue with it, build on it, or use it to blow up a long-held assumption. That’s where the value lives, not in the journal’s logo.

A major survey a few years back found that roughly 70% of researchers think the current system is fundamentally broken, and it’s not hard to see why. Publicly funded research hides behind paywalls, editors chase whatever topic is hot that month, and the whole incentive structure pushes toward safe bets over genuinely risky and potentially important work.

Science has always been complicated and deeply human and full of ego and inertia, but the conversation is shifting.
