Circle of life: you’re born, ‘try later’, die 🤓

No, no, no, no, no!
Bad b̶o̶y̶.. No, bad, bad science writing...

Had a great time speaking at the Oxford Literary Festival this weekend about my book To Die With Such Men, which follows a group of Western volunteers fighting in Ukraine. Particularly honored by the attendance of the EU delegation; thank you so much. Now more than ever, #StandwithUkraine.

November 27, 2024 Thanksgiving is the quintessential American holiday…but not for the reasons we generally remember.

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 🇺🇸

😂 Hell, yeah, I would cancel Netflix to pay for some silence in a few corners of our (social) media. (Stolen from the excellent @densediscovery.bsky.social !)

Fabulous naturalistic work of sealife by a mosaicist depicting octopus, fish, lobster, squid. It was the focal point ('emblema') of a larger mosaic. In the collections of MANN Naples. Photo is my own, taken at @ashmoleanmuseum.bsky.social's 'Last Supper in #Pompeii', 2019. #MosaicMonday #Romans

*books and especially bookazines!

Oh, I sooo want this! (also because I truly believe (good) books can be a great revenue stream for media - great work, @carlaallenbach.bsky.social) I think I'm gonna play Santa for myself this year with a tall pile of books 🤓🎄.

When I was 5, I loved science, which I took to be planets and magnets and chemicals and shit.

Soon I realized science was a collective human activity, and these were just the objects of its attention.

Anyway, whenever I read an OpEd on how science isn't political, I think "Are you 5 years old?"
