Toast is simple carbs and a bit easier if you’re ill.

Pan fried with pasta and pesto, if you have pesto.

The first couple of episodes of ‘Allo ‘Allo are a big eye opener there as well. In that case there’s perhaps more that hasn’t dated, but a substantial proportion of the punchlines actually boil down to ”this character is gay”.

And yes, it was funny when I was 12. I think that’s much more about me changing than society changing though.

Well quite, but there’s also a huge helping of schoolboy glee at being “allowed” to say horrendous things because it’s all satire isn’t it. Quite a bit of Python didn’t ever mature beyond that. All a bit Pee Po Belly Bum Drawers.

this is gonna be the first November where the poppyshaggers have full, unrestricted access to Gen AI. It's going to be horrific.

People ask me this all the time, so I’ll just say: look at the transgender hate panic, a thing that had no organic element and did not arise from the public, and was instead imposed upon everyone by the world’s most hateful, poisonous and malignant media class.

When I say the politics will become increasingly obvious... I mean look at this. If you want to unite the left/centre and split the Tories, without a big spending committment there's no better option.

new rule: if a university denied someone tenure, or let them go because it canceled their classes, or has shut down the department or program they used to teach in, that university's PR department forfeits the right to put out a celebratory statement when that person wins a Nobel

You’d be surprised. “Epigenetics is Lamarck’s revenge” is far too prevalent an attitude among people who work mechanistically without an evolutionary background.

Blah. I had the Covid vaccine a week ago, it’s not fair that there are other respiratory viruses too :-( <croak>

Folks, if you’re doing interesting epigenetic work, stop reaching for Lamarck as clickbait. It just doesn’t fit what you’re doing - never has, never will.

Lamarckism is not just ‘inheritance of acquired change’, in which case any germline mutation would count. Lamarckism posits intentional directed change in response to the environment, which is then inherited. It doesn’t happen, but this study didn’t even test it.

Indeed - but all the more reason not to throw a curve ball into what’s going on now

This, but also it might not even be true and he could have just been trying to one up. Let sleeping thingys whatsit.

A fascinating editorial decision from the BBC, to make the headline a scaremongering “AUTISM AND ADHD ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED”, and then, four bullet points later, have the author of the report quoted as essentially saying “nah, that’s bullshit, actually”.

ADHD and autism at risk of over-diagnosis, says report, as author warns of rise in mental ill health
Summary
• An official review in England finds there is a risk of people being over-diagnosed with
ADHD and autism - three key findings from the report
• As well as neurodevelopmental conditions, the review looks at mental ill health, particularly in younger people. Our health correspondent explains the difference
• It was commissioned earlier this year after Wes Streeting, then the health secretary, said there was an "over-diagnosis" of mental health conditions
• Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme earlier, review chair Prof Peter Fonagy said Streeting was "with respect, completely wrong"

Y'know, sometimes you just want to hear something gorgeous. That's not too much to ask, is it? Here's Morales's Circumdederunt me. Surely one of the most beautiful things he wrote. Have a great weekend! hyperion.lnk.to/cda68467_01

Looks like while it’s moving there’s no guard to stop you just walking off the edge…

Is there any data on longevity for animals housed under solitary conditions?

With no others of his species around, presumably there’s less chance of infectious disease, too. How much of aging is the accumulated slings and arrows of constant minor (or not so minor) infections?

Correct decision: bewildering they didn’t spot it themselves but had to be told
