Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

One of the downsides of living in Wales is I can't get involved in this @livingstreets.bsky.social campaign to address pavement parking. But for those of you in England, perhaps take a look? act.livingstreets.org.uk/page/189938/...

Think they knew they’d be lambasted as out-of-touch elites moaning about losing their privilege of jetting off to Tuscany, unlike Hard Working Families who can’t afford that sort of luxury. Or something.

Leibniz: But let us set our differences on the matter of calculus aside for a minute. Perhaps you would care for a biscuit? I have some delicious chocolate-backed confections, far superior to those fig-based monstrosities that have become so popular recently.
