Is this the vape for getting off Twitter's Capstan Full Strength? - A bit of 1950s social history there. Actually, this isn't a vape - it's the exhilarating breeze on a Lakeland peak.

"One of the most thoughtful sermons Iā€™ve heard at a memorial talked about the paradoxical idea that loss was about comprehending the presence of an absence." What a profound start! This week at a @sathnam.bsky.social@alanlester.bsky.social lecture, "Opposites can be true at the same time."

Why do I never get stuff like this in the For You tab of X Twitter? They always send me angry links from Reform/GBNews.

This graph is astonishing. The people that bang on about ā€œnatural birthā€ and ā€œwomen have been doing this forever without helpā€ need to be forced to stare at this until their eyes water.

Graph of maternal mortality rate against year for the UK. Rate bounces until and down around 500 deaths per 100,000 births until about 1940, when it falls sharply. Itā€™s been very low (~1ā€“3 per 100,000) ever since.
