Watching the great Lesley Manville in "Phantom Thread" tonight. This appears on her Wikipedia page: "Manville's sister Brenda, nine years her senior, died of a brain tumour. Her sister's husband and two daughters died of Huntington's disease." Life can be an engine for art and art a balm for life.

Another example of why you shouldn’t trust Google AI summaries. Both dates are wrong. Wikipedia has it right.

If you are not reading Solvej Balle’s “On the Calculation of Volume,” you should be. Astonishing.

This about sums the whole thing up. From Solvej Balle’s ON THE CALCULATION OF VOLUME, book 1, translation by Barbara Haveland.

Someone posted my article "The Telepathy Tapes: A Dangerous Cornucopia of Pseudoscience" on Reddit, but the moderators of the Subreddit r/TheTelepathyTapes removed it.

Wonderful indeed. Here is the Millennium Prize that Grigori Perelman declined, in part because he believed Hamilton deserved to share credit, displayed at the Maison Poincaré, Paris. The Clay Institute used Perelman's prize money to endow a research position at the Henri Poincaré Institute.

A 1955 anti-fluoride campaign with an interesting echo of the pawnshop symbol. "Are you willing to PUT IN PAWN to the UNHOLY THREE all of the material, mental, and spiritual resources of this GREAT REPUBLIC!" See the full flyer here: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co...
