From a corner of the bar, the old ecstatic gaucho, in whom Dahlmann saw a cipher of the South (of his South), threw him a naked dagger, which landed at his feet

@levantophile Robert Irwin paints an entertaining portrait of Browne (and others of his ilk) in "For Lust of Knowing", the first volume of a projected three volume counterblast to Said's book. (Sadly he died before he could write the second two.)

@platospodcasts Loved this episode. Great story about the precognitive vision. I heard a similar one from an Indian man whose guru had been an American who'd settled in Almora. During a bombardment in WW1 he'd seen a vision of a man. Post-war it turned out it was Ramakrishna.

@ElinaMia34 @JaycelAdkins Incredible effort. Well done. ♥️

@PapaPetro @archeohistories Yep, you can't hug a circle. Whatever the case, it certainly passeth our understanding.

@PulpLibrarian Around the same time that mess jackets for bar staff disappeared?

@DanielPink As Hans Rosling put it in Factfulness, "Never leave a number all by itself. Never believe that one number on its own can be meaningful. If you are offered one number, always ask for at least one more. Something to compare it with."

On Dec 31, 1995, the final Calvin & Hobbes strip was published. Yet, its magic endures—reminding us to embrace curiosity, wonder, and the joy of imagination. Bill Watterson’s masterpiece continues to inspire, proving great art is timeless. #CalvinandHobbes

@RDMetcalfe @DianeCoyle1859 This looks like good news. One question: Does the "time-of-use" point mean that people are simply not turning the heating up or turning it off earlier etc in the evening?

@b_neuro @sgdruffell @Drug_Science Thank you, this time redownloading it has done the trick. 🙏

@DrAaronB Funnily enough, I first encountered him weeks after I finished school. They showed The Power of Myth on the TV the summer after I finished my A-levels. Incredible programme.

@jdmccafferty And Eleanor later gave Gerard Winstanley a job as bursar of her estate at Pirton, Herts, I believe, after the Diggers project finished.
