I imagine it is less exciting, just a high net worth family with a collection of old books. Discretion is just a normal requirement.

We stayed near rail station and did the same. Everywhere was good.

Oh, we were in Naples in August. Loved it. And the food was delicious (and cheap).

Global historians are fascinated by mobility and exchange, with good reason - but as Joya Chatterji points out, we also need a history of the people who didn't move. I loved editing this article, which sheds fascinating light on the farmers who made botanical exchange possible.

I just think it odd to judge someone on what they choose to drink or what helps them in what is after all an incredibly stressful experience. My role as an interviewer is one, to make you as relaxed and comfortable as possible, and then to intently listen to your answers.

Make sure you drink plenty of fluids in day beforehand so easier to find and use your vein.

Mr15 walked out of the house at 3.45 this morning. With a bag containing clothes and one of my debit cards. All OK, he was off to be at school on time for coach to airport and science trip to Geneva, with my global money card in hand.

Dover is one of the most heavily policed places in the UK. It's a two hour's drive from London, where the Met has more significant anti-crowd capacity than any other force in the UK. Letting a group of fascists act as they see fit is a choice they have made One they don't make for peaceful protest

British Academy Small Grants scheme is open. it has been using partial randomisation for a while. Researchers whose proposals meet the quality threshold for £££ but miss out in the draw are told this. Increasingly, I'm seeing these good-quality-bad-luck outcomes shared on LinkedIn. (1)

Here's a #HigherEducationPostcard of the City part of @citystgeorges.bsky.social Known for years as the Northampton Institute, after the Marquess of Northampton, who donated the land on which it is built If you like this image, I’d really appreciate a repost - remember, BlueSky has #NoAlgorithm

An old monochrome picture postcard showing a fabulous Victorian college building with a clock, many people milling about on the street outside

Printed at the foot of the card is Northampton Institute

Bluesky just thrown this just below friend's post about grief and loss, following early onset diagnosis some years ago. Looking forward to seeing this.

Sounds perfect, as well as delicious. Doing something is just as common an urge in the midst of grief and these are good healing things to do.

This is set up for laughs, but it’s actually one of the best demonstrations I’ve seen of how being capable of producing convincing sounding language and understanding meaning are two completely different things. A chatbot does not understand you, it just has automated responses based on your words.

The backlash Pride faces from inside and outside the LGBT community

Big companies used to go out of their way to support Pride. Now, there's a nervousness in the air, Darren Milby writes
