I bought a second hand Weber kettle to try charcoal grilling. I made a roast chicken last week and today I bought an expensive steak and cooked it by a "reverse sear". The family all agreed it was the best steak they've eaten. Will definitely be using the it in future. #ChemistsWhoCook

"The American people of today are not the same people as those who saved the world from fascism 80 years ago, and who over the following 45 years stared down Soviet Communism...the American people of today — or, at least, a majority of them — are frightened, angry, afraid, and insular."

Real inflation is still too high. The global environment is primed for inflationary events (tariffs etc). The RBA won't cut. #NoDraftFolderPunditry #IHopeImWrong

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

I bought two miniature waterlillies back in 2020. The sole survivor is finally about to flower. It's either pink or peach (I'm leaning peach).🌱

Hi European science friends ... One of our undergrads (an EU citizen) is headed back to Spain this summer. I'm wondering if there are any typical summer research opportunities for undergraduates that folks apply to. Any help in helping me counsel her would be greatly appreciated!!!

Labor should promise to boost or even universalise school breakfast clubs across the country. A perfect contrast for an election campaign surely

I've been reading and listening to Peter's writing and podcasts for years. He strikes me as a decent bloke with a good heart. He and Gideon Haigh have a podcast/substack "Cricket et al" that's well worth a listen.

The McCarthyism in Australia continues. A long list of journalists, academics, artists, many others who have been targeted because they oppose Israel’s genocide. Facilitated by most of the media and political establishment. www.smh.com.au/sport/cricke...

We recently had a birthday party here, and today was the day to take down the balloons. I took down the balloons in the most obvious way: with a two hundred year-old sword. Still sharp, I see.
