    My new iMac Pro, with 64 GB RAM and 4TB SSD has 11 times as many bytes of electronic memory as the Apple II, and by "Apple II," I mean the total of all electronic memory ever installed in all six million Apple II computers ever made

    Barry Jenkins drunk-tweeting an over-the-shoulder aeroplane watch of Notting Hill is approx 1,000 times more fun than Notting Hill.

    In other news, the woman next to me is watching NOTTING HILL. A few choice folks will get the irony of this happening on my last flight of this sojourn. Also... Julia Roberts is STUNNING in this film. And holy shit Lester Freamon is in this?!

    So cool! Little Victorian wooden models used for teaching about geological formations: They look like delicious fudge in a candy box!

    Here's Karl Marx in 1852: “The Tories in England had long imagined that they were enthusiastic about the monarchy, the church and beauties of the old English Constitution, until the day of danger wrung from them the confession that they are enthusiastic only about ground rent.”

    'Caustic wit', FFS. The debating society culture of the Commons is toxic to the sense of what makes a good politician.

    This government needs less fucking 'caustic wit' and a lot more people who do their homework and know what they're talking about.

    Ridiculous outcry over Toby Young. He will bring independence, rigour and caustic wit. Ideal man for job

    Really interesting thread about trees and the use thereof by indigenous North Americans.

    Then there's the wood itself: ridiculously useful, be obtained by falling whole trees or removing parts. The amazing western redcedar could sustain live harvesting: whole planks were removed and the healthy tree left standing for future use. 9/

    I waked and my wife not come to bed; I lacked a pot, but there was none, and bitter cold, so was forced to rise and piss in the chimney.

    Yesterday: Story about govt removing documents which show empire in a bad light from public archives Today: Tory MP says the left is removing books from libraries

    Left wing snowflakes are killing comedy, tearing down historic statues, removing books from universities, dumbing down panto, removing Christ from Christmas and suppressing free speech. Sadly, it must be true, history does repeat itself. It will be music next.

    Amazing.

    Burrowing Owls usually have bright yellow irises, but a small percentage of owls found in Florida have dark brown or spangled yellow and brown irises which could be the result of a recessive gene being expressed.

    The blue passport is a good start, obviously, but now we need the government to take a firm line on changing Snickers back to Marathon.
