PugJesusBrexit: The Prequel

Jody HughesI'm reading up on Maurizio Cazzati (1616-1678), using the non-academic sources available to me.
Most refer to his time as maestro di cappella at San Petronio in Bologna as controversial; some suggest he was forced out in 1671. A couple of sources describe the end thus:
"…a controversy with the organist Giulia Cesare Arresti over musical errors in the Kyrie of his Missa primi toni Op.17…"
I cannot imagine living in a time when writing a piece with a badly-prepared dissonance would result in being sacked.

You've heard of the The #DarkAges, the #Medieval period, the #Renaissance...
Well, in #history, this timeline we are currently living will be called "The Age of Stupidity"
Chris HessertFondly remembering sending and receiving near daily letters (snail mail) with my lover in the 1980s. Being forced to think and write your thoughts was well worth the "inconvenience". 💌 🙂
Nicola IarocciThere's no such a thing as the 'Dark Ages'
The actual phrase ‘Dark Ages’ itself derives from the Latin saeculum obscurum, which Caesar Baronius – a cardinal and Church historian – came up with around 1602. He applied the term exclusively to the tenth and eleventh centuries. However, and very significantly in his use of the term, Baronius was not decrying a state of scientific malaise, or a particularly turbulent political period – he’s talking about a lack of sources surviving from that time. Indeed, Baronius sees the cut off point for the dark ages to be the Gregorian reforms of 1046, following which we see a massive increase in surviving documentation.
Soh Kam YungInteresting.
"There, in the frozen electromagnetic stillness [on the far side of the moon, LuSEE] will scan the spectrum between 0.1 and 50 MHz, gathering data for a low-frequency map of the sky—maybe including the first tantalizing signature of the dark ages."
Kevin RussellMIT hails Sodium batteries as breakthrough technology that'll define our future.
Salt batteries, abundant, built from materials found in every land, low heat, low pollution, ne plus ultra recyclable, long long lasting. Cars are being made with salt batteries, but first top use is replacing oil, coal baseline electricity supply.
Hurry, let's deal with our billionaire problem, move on building human civilisation.
