A new day, time to catch up on the horrors, then make every effort to stop thinking about the horrors, so I don’t accidentally make reference to the horrors at work in the presence of someone who thinks the horrors are good actually, thereby creating a hostile environment for supporters of horrors,

Well, the crusades, the Inquisition, Nazi Germany was mostly Christian, so not really. Not to be the akshooally person, but at some point there's no pretending. Most Christians ain't what we'd hope.

I was tonight years old when I learned that the Four Seasons put out a psychedelic concept album in 1969, which sounds like an early Simpsons joke.

A book must be an axe for the frozen sea within us - Kafka. (My cartoon for today’s Guardian books.)

Panel one:
"A book must be an axe for the frozen sea within us." says Franz Kafka. 
He looks solemn, and holds up a finger to show that he is serious.

Panel two:
The publishers across the table say "That's all very well, Franz. But we commissioned a board book for toddlers".

Panel three:
"And here it is!" Kafka answers proudly, holding up a colourful book. It is titled "Choppy Helps out" and shows a cute axe with a friendly face (presumably Choppy) and his friend, a frozen, smiling sea.

note: Herr Kafka gave me the manuscript for "Choppy Helps Out!" on the undertanding that I destroyed it after his death. I could not bring myself to do so. If you are a publisher and interested in purchasing the rights, please contact me via my website.

Art Nouveau is when stuff looks like it was made by Elves. Art Deco is when stuff looks like it was made by Dwarves.

An Art Nouveau staircase decorated with curved patterns and soft colors, with a nature-themed background and rounded windows on the walls.
Art Deco staircase. An angular, grand design in dark colors.

Yes! And this is also related to my research. I study how the immune system and the brain interface. While we still don’t quite understand the specific mechanisms, there are multiple pathways through which the immune system impacts neuron functioning and can impact brain circuitry.

I worry sometimes about not writing enough, that I waste too much time. Then I think about the lines “The limits of art cannot be delivered. There is no artist whose talent is fulfilled.” Which sentiment was written by a gent named Ptahhotep. In 2600 BC.
