Is the back of my envelope vaguely correct in saying that Rubin’s total field of view is ~ 25 square degrees ≈ 0.06% of the sky? So this crop would be 1/1000th of that?

Got to my late 40s before learning that there’s only one ‘s’ in ‘just deserts’. Had a whole assumed etymology in mind and everything.

Can’t disagree, but Scissor Sisters’ Take Me Out is another favourite of mine.

Spotify’s served me a track by a band that used to be a Pink Floyd tribute act, and oh my god you can tell. It’s like listening to Aldi own-brand packaging.

I was in a pub discussion on degrees of swearing many years ago. One woman was talking about the inherent misogyny of it. She didn’t help her cause by explaining “If you’re a cunt you’re a right bastard, but if you’re a dick you’re just a bit of a twat.”
