One person's punishment is another's paradise.
In the SF series "Foundation", when a person is arrested by the authorities, they have a "sensory shroud" placed over their heads. This takes away their hearing, sight and sense of smell.
Ever the introvert, Mrs Miasma has asked that I get her one of these for her birthday.

The Spy: "You should believe in the minds that built Trantor, built the jump drive, that built the star-bridge."
Gaal Dornick: "Where I come from they call those scientists, not politicians."
The Spy: "I know where you come from Gaal, they were called heretics and drowned."
"The Foundation" Season 1 Episode 1"
Been watching #Foundation, never read the books but really enjoyed the first season so far. It's also relevant, an empire banning scientists and mathematicians because it doesn't like their conclusions.
Last month, the Jewish-American news site #Forward reported a shocking scoop:
The #Heritage #Foundation,
the conservative think tank behind Project 2025,
is planning to “identify and target” Wikipedia editors.
Through analyzing text patterns, usernames, and technical data and employing social-engineering tactics,
Heritage aimed to reveal the identities of anonymous Wikipedia editors it believes are “abusing their position” on the platform.
In the culture of Wikipedia editing,
it is common for individuals to use pseudonyms to protect their privacy and avoid personal threats.
Revealing an editor’s personal information without their consent,
a practice known as #doxing,
is a form of harassment that can result in a user’s being permanently banned from the site.
Although this behavior is strictly prohibited by Wikipedia’s rules,
Heritage has endorsed these scorched-earth tactics in response to what it perceives as antisemitism among certain editors covering the Israeli–Palestinian conflict on Wikipedia.

Anyhow I’m a lot bitter that #appletv canceled #Foundation and Silo had the potential but it’s not going well.

Finished my rewatch of #TheExpanse and I remain convinced it's damn near perfect.
There's some strong contenders out there for best recent #SciFi shows — #Foundation probably being my favourite, despite its flaws and departures from the books — but I think it still comes out on top.

Today I received the following request to review a grant application from #Swiss National #Science #Foundation :
"In this context, we would like to ask if you would be willing to support us by reviewing a recently submitted grant application. We know that this request places an additional burden on your busy schedule, but your expertise in this field would be instrumental in maintaining the highest possible standards of #research in #Switzerland. Thus we hope very much that you might agree to helping us with this task."
So, they ask me to review a pretty long (they always are) grant application by the end of December... for free, to help and support them. So, according to them, I should change my plans for the next 3 weeks, which indeed are very busy, to work for free for Switzerland. My job is to do research, and not to support the grant application from another country.
