Carl Harding @chardle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I'm one of the weirdos who become more radically left as we age. And yes, a lot of it is life experience and a longing for hope, change and a livable future on a habitable planet for the next generation 020
Carl Harding @chardle.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I really like Pope Leo, but that speech is a serious bowl of word salad. I hope his audience understood what the heck he was on about. They look happy enough so I guess so, but then they’d probably have been happy if he’d recited The Jabberwocky. 110

Carl Harding @chardle.bsky.social · 02/09/2026JStor would be the answer but my library has just ended its subscription following a hike in the cost. You can get 99 free articles a month though, which should be enough, I would have thought, for the average intellectual flanneur like myself, and I imagine the OP. 000

Green light is absorbed at a very high efficiency by these electronic sensors, meaning concentrated beams easily melt or overload the pixel array. 41685173688

Carl Harding @chardle.bsky.social · 12/06/2026I feel as if Zafón’s worlds are viewed through the lens of childlike innocence coming into contact with corruption. It might be hopeful or pessimistic depending on where you think the centre of gravity is. Agree broadly about the social contract. 110
Carl Harding @chardle.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Like the good ape he is, man is a social animal, characterised by cronyism, nepotism, corruption and gossip.
