I am very late to the party, and I have a complicated relationship with history. It has taken me decades to recover from the horrors of A level history but you make it so interesting and entertaining. Thank you. I have so many episodes left to help me get through chores etc. :-)

Is it typical for a CEO to be part-time? And does anyone have a good lawyer they can recommend? Not sure what it comes under, but it involves a govt scheme, incompetence, fraud and a prolonged and deliberately obstructive complaints process.

Captain Science @captainscience.bsky.social · 25/11/2025
I don't see the point, we can make whole organoids from human tissue, including cells from people with various pathologies. And those organoids will be a miniature model of the diseased brain. Why bother with synthetic? Nevef heard of the publication, they have a typo in the first line of text.

I've never understood why morality is attributed to circadian activity. Some people are morning people, others are night people. Night time ≠ debauchery. Getting up early isn't virtuous.

Went to my first ever proper gig last night, aged 51. Was bought the ticket as a thank you. We had so much fun. It was outside, not too crowded, not too hot. The band were tight. I could feel the music. It was awesome. More live music. Just not festivals/mud/and def no camping.
