The "-our" spelling is important. Refer to your western-European podcasting colleague if you struggle.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

You have cleared them with the pontiff
Everybody say his own Kyrie eleison
Doin' the Vatican Rag."

It's not tenable for me to declare I'm never going to fly Ryanair again. However, I fully intend to install the app onto a burner 'phone and explain each time to the Ryanair staff that I object, and that I will perform a hardware reset on the 'phone as soon as the flight is done to protect myself.

Today I learned that the same prop U-boat was used In Raiders of the Lost Ark and Das Boot
Both films were shot in La Rochelle at the same time (even this blows my mind) and the prop company rented out Das Boot's sub to Steven Spielberg for a week, forgetting to paint the right number back on after

I had never heard of 3-cueing before I saw this post. I went to look it up on Wikipedia.

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy
