I once was unlettered, unfettered and free. (As to doubts, well I never did nurse one.) A philosopher said, full of dread, "Don't you see? That the life unconsidered's a cursed one."...... @SMBCComics

You don’t have to “keep up” with almost anything.

Technology connects you to infinite distractions.

You can never “catch up” with all the ephemera.

Most of it doesn’t matter.

Take pleasure in missing out.

Am enjoying Caesar's Commentary. Caesar acknowledges having to fight several dozen battles to conquer Gaul, often suffering heavy losses. Refreshingly honest when compared with the later accounts of Plutarch and Suetonius, where you don't get the sense of the struggle #Classics

I am told that state funding of media is vital because the media is a bulwark against fake news.

But this is fake news.

I can't stop flipping back and forth between the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescope images of the Carina Nebula. In the Hubble image the dust is just this wall that looks solid, and JWST has revealed the structure in that dust that has remained hidden for so long.

📢 The moment we have been waiting for is here. #Webb delivers deepest infrared image of Universe yet in special briefing. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image features the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, which is overflowing with detail https://t.co/CXoSpDqTLB 👇

My 6 year old granddaughter flat out refuses to believe that we used to navigate using maps made out of paper.

The letter π was first introduced to describe the ratio of a circle's perimeter to its diameter by William Jones in 1706. He abbreviated the Greek word περιϕέρεια (meaning “circumference”).

@GeePawHill Bisection method for locating all roots of a non-linear function. Simple, robust and effective. Also gradient descent methods for non-linear fitting. Like magic when it works.

Today in 1940 Stalin & Beria (see below) started the murder of 22000 Poles in Katyn Forest. It took 28 nights & the chief executioner wore a butchers apron over his NKVD uniform. As we absorb todays Russian killings of Ukraine civilians, it’s hard not to think of the past...
