Listening to two women switch straight from fluid Spanish in introducing themselves to each other, into fluid German. I'm massively impressed by people who speak even one 'extra' language fluently and lots clearly manage several.

This is the most Canadian "man hijacks bus" story ever.
He contined to make stops and enforced the fare, and when police caught up to him they deescalated the situation and didn't identify the guy because “there could be a mental health component..."

When a man hijacked a bus in Hamilton, Ontario, on Tuesday, the potentially catastrophic scenario ended happily. It turns out he was a pretty decent bus driver. He made regular stops to pick up passengers, the police reported. At one point someone tried to board with an expired bus pass. No dice.
A Man Took a Bus for a Joyride. Turns Out, He’s Not a Bad Driver.
The incident in Hamilton, Ontario, ended safely with an arrest and no injuries (and all fares paid).

Smallish South Asian woman, dressed in ankle-length white, is taking photos with her tall, red-haired friend, wearing ankle-length black. They could be the starting point for a bespoke chess set, or a fantasy series.

Visited a Museum of Modern Art. Its cafe/bar:
- has a terrace
- with a view of the cathedral, the sea and the sunset
- is open till midnight.
I'm rehydrating gently and not sad about any aspect of this.

This is a fantastically important and timely initiative from Channel 5 and one I hope will be emulated by the other UK channels. New stories and fresh voices are so needed right now - and so are opportunities to enable people to survive in a crumbling industry.

There's an elephant in the room: sent by an Abbasid d caliph in Baghdad to Charlemagne's court in Aachen, in the eighth century. Now that is a memorable diplomatic gift.

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.
