It's comforting to wake up on a Friday morning to find two immediately wonderful freshly released albums waiting for me. Like birthday gifts on the doormat. Laetitia Sadler's Rooting For Love which I've already reviewed. And this, the latest from Hurray For The Riff Raff.Alynda Segarra HFTRR's alter ego, has maintained an excellent hitting record in recent seasons which immediately led to my antennae rising in anticipation of the arrival …

This busy slate grey dinosaur trackway from the Iberian Peninsula looks more like a dance floor than the thoroughfare it is. The numerous theropod dinosaur tracks — with a few enormous sauropod tracks thrown in for good measure — cover the entire surface. The local soil has a bit of rusty iron ore in it that highlights each print nicely when the soil is blown into the depressions the

Have you ever wondered how some politicians get away with everything while others have their careers blighted by seemingly small actions that upset the wrong people? When the tape of Trump bragging about grabbing women by their pussies first leaked, many of us thought he was finished, but he won that election, and even now, he is more popular than Biden. This is despite being found liable for sexual abuse …

February 2024. Uttoxeter. Thursday night in Uttoxeter. Got the tick, done the pre-emptive Marston diner, one question remained; Should I go in ? pic.twitter.com/aqfv9rCNzJ— retiredmartin (@NHS_Martin) February 15, 2024 What a silly question. Incredibly, only my third visit to The Vaults, perhaps the most famous Bass pub, alongside the bankers of Stockton and the flat nectar of Bath. But then, I haven’t been to the Coopers for far, far, too …

I've surprised myself by not actually getting Blobercised about the shameful gaslighting and ruination of local Post Office managers across the water. Not until January-too-late did I find a hook in the coincidence of ICL on the periphery of my own life. I guess the itch of my indignation was eased by posts across on Metafilter 2023 - 2020. Sometimes Metafilter comments are from people who actually know what they …

Cory Doctorow’s newest book, The Bezzle, is a second installment in his Martin Hench, tech-nerd, forensic accountant series. It was released Tuesday and I got my Kickstarter-backed audiobook onto my phone the same day. Yesterday, I started a 12-hour road trip to California and listened to the ~8hr long book in a single stretch of the interstate 5 freeway.I absolutely loved the first book in the series, Red Team Blues, …

Athina Aruldass finds that management of serious neuropsychiatric disorders should acknowledge the importance of poor physical health and target restoration of both brain and body function. The post Brain-body health please: new research supports integrated physical and mental health care appeared first on National Elf Service.

The Landslide Blog is written by Dave Petley, who is widely recognized as a world leader in the study and management of landslides. Exactly a month ago, I wrote about the very large waste landslide that had developed a site then owned by Nordic Waste, a company specialising in dealing with contaminated soil. The site in question is located in the area of the town of Randers, close to Ølst, …

A longtime reader is convinced we are enduring an imagination deficit. “Everywhere,” she writes, “I see clichés taking over. Obviously in public life with politicians and journalists. That’s nothing new but in the arts too, music and writing. It’s as though AI created them.” No argument here, though I’m skeptical of "monocausal explanations," as the boys down at the bowling alley say. “When I was a little girl,” she adds, …
