Pluviôse couldn't be more apt for the last few weeks.

Happy birthday to Charles Darwin,
patron saint of tired scientists, grumpy fieldworkers, and hating your own manuscript.

This is terrible news. Des was always so kind whenever we met. He'll be really missed.

A very merry Superb Owl day to all!

Oh no. That's terrible news. Des was always so kind and positive. A really lovely person.

Great chance to join the team at our neighbours the Platform Cafe:

Who's secretly filming fake TikToks inside Londoners' homes? We tracked down the viral video account invading people's houses to spread false claims about immigrants.

Fire on London's Loughborough Estate this morning. Seemingly now under control per @pollysmythe.bsky.social who is there on the ground, but will focus attention on an estate we've investigated wild claims of corruption and illegal chemical storage: www.londoncentric.media/p/the-london...

I think enough time has passed, and the hurt has diminished enough, for me to say: *I* do, Vampire Weekend. *I* give a fuck about an Oxford comma.

preparing for the next life and watching what happens there, but if that was meant to be a criticism of religion promising rewards after death to the neglect of this life, the book could have finished several hundred pages earlier!

Likewise, I expected it to go in a very different direction. Dodge finds himself in a new world that he could have shaped to be anything, but it ends up replicating established western worldviews, which I found deeply frustrating. I liked the idea that people end up spending more and more time

Same. I really enjoyed the beginning of Fall: Or Dodge in Hell, didn't like the middle and loathed the last third, so it felt like it went on forever.

Did ancient humans start farming so they could drink more beer? New evidence suggests that alcohol was a surprisingly big motivator in our monumental transition from hunting and gathering to farming – but was beer really more important to us than bread?

Dogs all come from wolves which are canids (dogs, wolves, coyotes, jackals, etc). Stoats are mustelids (weasels, polecats, badgers, otters, martens...). Some dogs have been selected to mimic mustelids that go into burrows to hunt, but have different origins. Ferrets are the domesticated mustelid.

All feedback welcome!
