Don't be ridiculous. They were made up by drunken newspaper editors to fill column-inches

I hate all of those fake collective nouns for animals. “An exaltation of larks,” “an ostentation of peacocks,” “a shrewdness of apes.” Give me a break. These were all made up so that English teachers could put up posters in their classrooms.

Criminal sentencing, once universally accepted as a paradigmatic responsibility of Parliament, has passed forever out of the hands of elected legislators. Whoever you vote for, the Supreme Court will get in. The impulse to mention this should, however, be resisted.

There may be a political angle, but let's remember that more than 5,000 Canadians died fighting in Italy in WW2. (This isn't framed primarily as a campaign of "liberation" from Nazi occupation, & Italians, perhaps excusably, don't feel the way the Dutch do about Canada.)

The Legal Monarchist (Ed W) @RoyaltyandLaw

During His Majesty’s address to the Italian Parliament, The King referred to His positions as King of the UK, “and of Canada”! This is rather unusual as HM is undertaking a state visit to Italy as King of the UK only. Loving the support for Canada. #KingofCanada #KingCharlesIII https://t.co/xkosNkgd75

SciAm interview with ever-heterodox Gerard t'Hooft: https://t.co/l1gDtVaGbj Acknowledges that particle physics is in a bog; old-school advocacy for micro-scale determinism (w/ pointed reminder that Schrödinger's cat was supposed to be a reductio ad absurdum).
