Finished the "gently balance the herbs, shallots and wine" stage of the risotto. Now onto the "slowly and carefully add the stock" stage. Looking forward to the "The rest of the bottle of wine has been finished over the past 40 min so now cavalierly chuck in a whole cow's worth of cheese" stage

Yet more today from Philip Moriarty and the mismatch between the University of Nottingham's "values" and what they actually do. 🔥🔥🔥 muircheartblog.wpcomstaging.com/2026/10/10/i...

Honestly APA Editorial Manager, why does this take sooooooooo long. I folded two piles of washing in the time it took you build it

And me 😀

Had the first meeting of the incoming editorial board of the @qjep.bsky.social. Lovely to meet everyone, and share our reflections and thoughts. Looking forward to working with the new editor in chief, and the rest of the team over the next few years.

"Dynamic salience as a basis for behavioural meta-malleability" by Sosa & Trevino. A synthesis of behavioural, computational and neural work on acquired salience. Particularly like their treatment of the Esber-Haselgrove theory of learning & attention. royalsocietypublishing.org/rsos/article...

It's taken me decades to get the point of avocado, and I'm still not fully sold on it, but it added something (smashed and with lemon juice) to my garlic mushrooms on toast.
