Einstein's breakthroughs started as daydreams, not equations. Vico thought that kind of imagination-made knowledge is older, and more fundamental, than anything reason gets you to. New essay on poetic wisdom: lorenzozucca.substack.com/p/…

Paraguay 🇵🇾’s approach against France was terrible to watch. There is nothing wrong with defending deep against a stronger opponent. But constant disruption, cynical fouls, and a purely destructive game plan shouldn’t be tolerated. #Football #FairPlay #FRAPAR

Mi ricordo quando Allegri fu sollevato dal suo incarico dopo un bruttissimo Sassuolo Milan 4-3.

President Trump has posted this picture on social media of himself as Christ healing the sick. I’ve long given up saying how hard it is to think of any previous US president who behaved like Donald Trump, but comparing himself to Jesus puts him on another level altogether.

So turns out the “London is collapsing” narrative isn’t grassroots at all. It’s being pumped out by bots, content farms, and foreign-aligned networks then laundered through politicians and media. Manufacture the fear. Repeat it enough. Turn it into policy.

One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday. These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war.

This, by a former colleague, is horrifying but all too familiar. Universities paying vast sums to management companies who tell them to "streamline" teaching in ways that are fundamentally unacademic and not in the interests of students... For shame. ft.com/content/5032f1bd-7196…

Petition: Apply to Rejoin the EU as soon as possible to increase growth in the UK

We believe Brexit's not working. The OBR judges that the UK economy is smaller and trade is weaker because of Brexit, and it will just get worse. 10 years after the Brexit vote, let's apply to rejoin...
