A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

I realise this is still a fair amount of books but Muckle Flugga felt like such a slog I hated picking it up.
Individual sentences were great if sometimes over written but I just didn't see the point. Also, I prefer books with no women than with one women who does something horrible.

You sit in your assigned seat and swap to desired seat after the doors close.
Less successful is sitting at the table you want and complaining you never get a table when asked to move.

Near earth space which we continue to treat as empty is no longer actually so.
In a more general sense, all areas called empty should be examined with suspicion.

Mention by Ricardo Pinto of Scotland as a 'wet desert' but he didn't mention my enemy the deer.

Nice to get a rare 'brother of the more famous sister' for JBS Haldane.
His sister, Naomi Mitchison, wrote fiction and I guess it lasts more easily than non fiction.
