Herein below you can read/ access my latest posts from the BlueSky and Twitter (X) platforms (the custom Twitter (X) feed updates with a substantial lag and sometimes chaotically). You are obviously better off reading/ following me directly on Twitter (X) and/or on Mastodon and/or on BlueSky and/or on Threads for full functionality. (NB. The latter three platform feeds, unlike Twitter (X), are readable also if not logged in on the corresponding platform.)

I love the smell of pine trees bordering frozen lakes in the morning!
P.S. Also pictured: just measured 1st class wifi speed in Swedish SJ trains in the middle of this nature…
"This platform can teach. It can illuminate and, yes, it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it towards those ends.
Otherwise, it is merely pixels and code—on a screen.

Financial Times has a whole feature on Paul Lambrino, the delusional idiot who thinks he should be King of Romania: https://www.ft.com/content/51f88322-c9e2-4045-8ea8-862288fb1d6
P.S. He’d fit just fine within the true zoo of exotic or moronic candidates for Romanian presidential elections to be held (again…) in May.
And a link that should work… https://www.ft.com/content/51f88322-c9e2-4045-8ea8-862288fb1d6f
Tonight's Messiaen, Scriabine, Zorn concert at Cité de la musique was tremendous! Thank you for the MUSIC, Barbara Hannigan & Bertrand Chamayou! (earlier: )
P.S. Despite initial fears, our (almost-) 7yo daughter absolutely loved John Zorn's "Jumalattaret"!
We shall be there: looking forward to being enraptured!
We also loved everything about the Paris Philharmonic's restaurant "L'Envol": an excellent gastro-panoramic ouverture to Cité de la musique concerts.
Kudos to Thibaut Spiwack, Sarah Ledu and the rest of the team for a very positive 1st impression: we'll be back, hungry for more!
Lors d'un débat avec mon dentiste 🇫🇷, j'ai eu l'occasion de lui expliquer la différence entre "information cachée" et "action cachée"—dans le cadre de la couverture d'assurance dentaire. Victoire(?): il adore le terme "aléa moral" et il le partagerait avec tous ses patients! 😉
The recent release of the names of more than 400,000 Nazi collaborators in NL (see, e.g., ) brings back vivid memories of one of my all time favorite Dutch movies: Zwartboek (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/black_book). If you haven't had the chance, high time you watched it!
We shall be there: looking forward to being enraptured!
Look, folks. As dumb as it is that the AEA has official recommendations on whether we should use Twitter or BS, I hope we can all agree that this is a big step up from last time when they recommended we all start using EconSpark.
