After reading a term paper that demonstrated nothing more than the "author's" brainless use of a brainless statistical model to brainlessly vomit brainless prose, I'm deeply grateful for the flawed result of human thinking that turned up second in the grading pile.

Well worth reading this longish piece by Paula Symons

While I'm wittering on about #books, these are two of my to-read piles. One is in a bookcase as I knew I'd be a while getting round to them. I bought those for 50p a pop at a Christmas bazaar. They often have some mid-century gems but not this time. The other is by the bed, the Active Pile. The top three are proofs sent to a bookshop in town which offers them to

A pile of books, top to bottom House of Splinters by Laura Purcell (currently reading and very good), Moonlight Express by Monisha Rajesh, As many Souls as Stars by Natasha Siegel, Duel Duet, Selected stories by Graham Greene and Talk of the Devil, writings by Ian Fleming
A pile of books with a Christmassy tin on top that my intarsia kit lives in. Top to bottom Dark Fire by CJ Sansom, Murder Most Unladylike by Robin Stevens and A Hat Full of Sky by Terry Pratchett.

En Syrie, l’organisation Etat islamique ciblée par une opération militaire éclair
