Oh- the Brian Bilston book... Need to visit the shop just for that :-)

Der Golem?

The best news! We'll come to Kilmarnock :-)

Ich kann leider nicht kommen - bin viel zu weit weg - habe aber das Buch bestellt. Bin gespannt!

Viel Spaß!

Could make an interesting project to see if spatial statis methods could help with this...

This is interesting- I tried to find the overlap, but didn't manage. But I had been sure it is these two images.
Spatial statistician here- the two images are also structurally very similar. I wonder if similar frauds could be detected by spatial summary characteristics...

Amazing- thanks so much for sharing!

Yes, and the signs float in the air, right? And there is more snow on the edge of the sign then on anything else it seems...

Do you know what the app is called? Would be love to use it as well.

I was just away to ask exactly that. This would be so great!

Beyond the Headlines: Corruption, Coercion and Power in Trump’s First Year By Christina Pagel

I wrote about a year of Trump for Best for Britain's Diplomatic Cable, covering some authoritarian themes that haven't been making the headlines….

Being a Human Being Tom Leonard for Mordechai Vanunu not to be complicit not to accept everyone else is silent it must be alright not to keep one’s mouth shut to hold onto one’s job not to accept public language as cover and decoy not to put friends and family before the rest of the world not to say I am wrong when you know the government is wrong not to be just a bought behaviour pattern to accept the moment and fact of choice I am a human being and I exist a human being and a citizen of the world responsible to that world – and responsible for that world

I am a human being
and I exist

a human being
and a citizen of the world

responsible to that world
– and responsible for that world

Je suis actuellement à Copenhague et je pensais à Paris, que j'ai visitée il y a quelques semaines. J'avais été frappée par le calme et l'absence de voitures, la ville étant devenue presque aussi cyclable que Copenhague. Quel exploit! D'autres villes devraient suivre cet exemple...

Kein Tempolimit für Fußgänger in der Slowakei | Euractiv DE Zahlreiche Internetnutzer und internationale Medienberichte hatten fälschlicherweise angenommen, ein neues Gesetz schreibe auch Fußgängern eine Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung vor.

Habt ihr eh alle mitbekommen, dass das mit dem Tempolimit für Fußgänger in der Slowakei eine Falschmeldung war? Nur damit sich das jetzt nicht ewig als blöder Running Gag (no pun intended) hält. euractiv.de/news/kein-te...

I was in Paris very recently- and have been many times over the years- it is such a huge difference!

Same thing here in Portland.... zero valid need. Not a war zone, nothing is burning, no looting, ... all made up lies by trump. Portland is beautiful and no need for military or national guard. Nope!

Yep, I know exactly what you mean- had the same experience.
Thanks for posting!

Iain Banks: the final interview Iain Banks died last Sunday, just before the publication of his final novel The Quarry. Last month he talked to Stuart Kelly about writing, politics and all the things still left to do . . .

“I mean, your society’s broken, so who should we blame? Should we blame the rich, powerful people who caused it? No let’s blame the people with no power & no money & these immigrants who don’t even have the vote, yeah it must be their fucking fault.”

Is this a regular event? I have always wanted to pick up BSL, but don't quite know where to start, so sort this might be a good way to get some advice.

„Beginnender Staatsterror“, „Polizeistaat“, „Führerprinzip“ - eine sehr laute Warnung von US-Historiker Timothy Snyder:

Katy Perry hat gestern mit einem Privatausflug ins All in 10 Minuten mehr CO2-Emissionen verursacht als ein durchschnittlicher Mensch in seinem ganzen Leben.

For a moment I thoughts it's a belated April's Fools joke. Or perhaps there is a serious hidden meaning? Given the colour...?

This is super interesting- and shocking!
I work on spatial statistics (spatial point processes) - basically statistical ways of describing space usage. Would be very interested in a chat about this work.

Oh danke! Unser Sohn (9) ist auch krank und ich habe ohm vorhin das Gedicht vorgelesen. Er hat sofort Lust bekommen Photos in der Natur zu machen. Nochmals Danke- und gute Besserung!

Oh nein, ich auch...
