@johnstonglenn Skoob Books! One of my favourite bookshops! Used to buy most of my college books from Skoob and it continues to be a stopping off point on my walks across London. The name always conjures for me a mirror image of an open book.

@rupali_codes Since 1996 - seen a lot of change, including the revolutionary rise of the internet and the emergence of open source.

Let’s use the tweet below to explain something about why science is successful and politics today is largely dysfunctional. The person to which Jim responded asks for an apology if new data or evidence is presented which causes someone to change their view. Why? The process of updating ones view as new information or knowledge is acquired is central to science, and by extension to our rational understanding of the world. Demanding an apology from someone who engages in this vital activity is tantamount to demanding an apology for the enlightenment. Essentially, it represents the view that it is a personal insult to disagree over the interpretation of data. Nature, however, doesn’t care about your feelings and if it turns out that your opinion is wrong, no apology is necessary and indeed celebration is in order because you’ve learnt something new about Nature.

“It belongs tae us by right and lot”: an honour to witness the Common Riding, Langholm’s incredible 250-year-old ceremony proclaiming the people’s rights to the Common Moss.

In England, we have so few traditions that connect us to the land. Time to learn from Scotland.

@JakeRudh Definitely Cuyahoga for “its words of optimism, partnership and community, set against an age of individualism.” https://t.co/cCDQEKiB5w…
