The Banksy mural at the Royal Courts of Justice, and the events that preceded it, reminded me of the track "Stop the City" by the 1980s punk band Conflict, off their "Increase the Pressure" album.

I understand that the angry lashing out we’re seeing from liberals is because they afraid that the United States might leverage its capacity for indiscriminate violence against them now and I am begging you to sit with why you thought this violence was acceptable for other people to bear.

Americans love to make fun of British teeth but most of your celebrities have fluorescent white veneers so ill-fitting that it looks like their incisors are trying to escape from their skull. Just saying

Some countries understand quality of life better than others.

People in France, Italy, Greece, and Spain spend more than two hours per day eating and drinking. The US comes in last place, with barely one hour per day.

It's wild to think that there was a moral panic about bicycles in the 1890s.

This is a fascinating look at cheesemaking in the Alps. Castelmagno d'Alpeggio sounds intriguing and looks delicious served with gnocchi.

As Liz Lemon would say, "I want to go to there."

This looks amazing. Of all the times I've been to Piemonte, I've never had tajarin ai fegatini, one of the region's most famous dishes. The next time I visit, I need to remedy that. In the meantime, I will try to make this myself!

I enjoyed this interview with Dunstan Bruce of Chumbawamba.

Re: his hope that the band won't be remembered for just one song, I can say that the albums "Pictures of Starving Children Sell Records" (1986) and "Never Mind the Ballots" (1987) are among my all time favorites!
