Holding the book showing the bad print quality.
Page of the book with bad paper quality.
I bought Emily Wilson’s translation of “The Odyssey”. I’d usually buy at my local bookstore but they had a two month delivery time, so I bought at Amazon for the first time in ages. Was also suspiciously cheap but now that it arrived I know why. What a crap quality. #booksky

It had been on my to-listen-to list for a while and I finally got started on the podcast: Instant Classics by @wmarybeard.bsky.social Mary Beard and Charlotte Higgins. Fascinated by the conversations, the insights, and the fun bits.

If I know Google's "AI" responses give incorrect answers about things I know about, I can't trust it to give correct answers about things I don't know. So, no, I don't use it.

If one were serious about protecting science in Europe in view of things happening elsewhere, then put also money where your mouth is.

Starting my #veganfood presence here with a throwback to one of the most amazing burgers I created. Simple to make and incredible delicious.

Here’s a Christmas present for y’all: a new physics post! I’ve done these things on “the other side”—let’s see how many people are interested on 🦋!
I’ll be talking about a famous principle in classical mechanics: that of “least action.” And I’ll tell you why it’s a misnomer!
Buckle up!
