@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotJust had another substantial tree come down in the wood, quite suddenly and with a huge bang, as I was splitting firewood for this evening's cooking. Fortunately I was nowhere near it, but I'm a bit shaken.

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioIt’s worth noting that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, originator of the bad deductive rule in question, spent his later years falling for and vehemently defending a variety of hoaxes involving fairies and communicating with the dead:

The day he was inaugurated last year, Trump pardoned most Jan. 6 defendants, some of whom are now seeking elected office.
