Many thanks to Dr Daniel Starza Smith for a brilliantly engaging workshop today on letterlocking. We all hugely enjoyed learning how to fold, tuck and adhere our own letters.

The main function of punctuation is to resolve ambiguities. There is no ambiguity here, as far as I can see.

Thread: imagine you're a historian surveying 16th century copies of the world's most famous ancient astronomy book, and you see one where somebody with handwriting VERY similar to GALILEO (!?) has transcribed... a psalm.

"Galileo, a prayer? That's something that doesn't work," Ivan Malara thought.

The UK Green Party stormed to victory in Thursday's by-election in the Labour stronghold of Gorton and Denton, bagging over 40 percent of the vote.

The result deals a serious blow for PM Keir Starmer.

The political effects of X’s feed algorithm - Nature Among users initially on a chronological feed, 7 weeks of exposure to X’s algorithmic feed in 2023 shifted political attitudes and account-following behaviour in a more conservative direction compared...

Brainwashing, 2026 edition. This paper shows how X's algorithmic feed shifts people's views rightwards. It's a sophisticated, highly effective form of reorientation. And it is utterly chilling.
If you're still on that platform, unhook yourself now.

Power, Money, Deception, and Brexit: A Short History of the Oligarchy vs The People It should never be surprising when governments allow billionaires to have their way, given that government itself was invented by the wealthy in the first place.

Epstein saw Brexit as incredible opportunity: "Descent into β€œtribalism”, as he called it, would open the door to millions of back door deals among the wealthy who would be the only remaining bidders in the fire sale of the UK’s collapsing assets"
