Quite a common question I get on this very website is "why trams not buses?" and the answer is, I think, quite simple. Trams are cheaper to run. Not to build, oh they cost lots and lots and lots to build, but once you've built them, they can actually make money.

Philosophers - have you observed that academics in other disciplines tend to have negative attitudes toward philosophy and philosophers? If so, why do you think that might be? I find myself continually encountering academics in varied disciplines who exhibit this attitude.

Today is 'Old Twelfth Night', the day for many wassailing traditions (because lots of wassailers are old-school and keep to the Julian calendar). So if you need something to brighten the mid-January gloom... lavenderandlovage.com/2020/01/celebr…

This evening is Twelfth Night, the eve of the Epiphany, and the end of the Twelve Days of Christmas. It's a time for wassailing, fire rituals, king-cakes, and other customs which invariably feature (according to the Dictionary of English Folklore) 'cake and alcohol'...
