What Paul is describing is scandalous. But I am also weirdly cheered up by seeing pics of him since the accident. So much willpower, such determination to rebuild a meaningful life. Unchanged is his ridiculous articulacy and humour. His substack is very good too, subscribe!

Better framing: science is extremely hard to do and has always been challenged by numerous distinct threats. Trust is not the right attitude toward it.

'Winter in London.' Emile Claus painted this work of the River Thames in 1916 near Norfolk Street between Charing Cross and Temple. The scene lends itself to comparisons with Turner, Whistler and Monet's many riverscapes featuring familiar London landmarks.

Now online: 'Young Marx and the Wood-Theft Debates in Prussian Rhineland in the Early Nineteenth Century' by Kaan Kangal – and featuring this nineteenth-century caricature of Marx as Prometheus bound to a printing machine, published in the Rheinische Zeitung.

Essay: brill.com/view/journal...
A nineteenth-century black and white caricature of Karl Marx, showing him bound to a printing machine and pecked by an imperial eagle. Crushed beneath the printing machine, six female figures, each representing a different German city (such as Trier, Dusseldorf, and Aachen), wail in despair. The eagle has its foot tied, the string leading to the upper-left corner, where it is held by a squirrel.
