I would like a Frog and Toad style series of books but it's about David Lynch and David Byrne going on adventures and making films and music

I quite like spicy food and I always feel like my spice tolerance is reasonable but then I try to eat buldak noodles and I am like little baby. Best I can manage is the "carbonara" ones, which is embarrassing for even more reasons than just the low spice tolerance

Got my covid vaccine today. Got my flu vaccine last month. Should have a nice strong immune system in time for Christmas and the inevitable coughing crew that's about to start showing up on every train 😷💉💪🏻

Silver lining: the fella man-spreading on the train is now also damp.

i fully agree with this theory and in my actual field, british architectural history, The Problem is that Salisbury Cathedral is built on top of a lake and no i am not exaggerating
between this and the FSO Safer (another ship at serious risk of exploding) I’m convinced every field has its “yeah, this is the problem that keeps me up at night” and I’m on a quest to learn about all of them
yes yes we all know about the Edmund Fitzgerald, rest her soul, but did you know about the ship laden with explosives that sank in the mouth of the Thames in 1944 and could explode at any minute and which attempts to disarm keep failing

Speaking of Pratchett, check out the video I made ages ago about his love for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and how he managed to be a popular British fantasy author who was actually a decent person and not a huge bigoted arsehole

Coming out of the sand and I been doing just fine
In an antique land you know I got it all
I started out as a king how did it end up like this?
I was king of the kings, I was king of the kings
In an antique land you know I got it all
I started out as a king how did it end up like this?
I was king of the kings, I was king of the kings
It's time to walk the sand dunes
It's time to read the crest
Upon the plinth smashed and hewn
Time deletes the mightiest
It's time to see the likeness
Of that once king of kings
Time holds no great politeness
It will bring to dust all things

This is just to say
I have beheld
the works
that you left
in the desert
At which
you were probably
hoping
I would despair
Forgive me
your legs were mighty
so vast
and trunkless

Fun fact: the r/math subreddit had a huge problem with math crackpots popping up so they created a honeypot subreddit, r/numbertheory, to collect all those cranks.

“If you live in a 15 minute city but your barista can’t afford to live there too, you don’t live in a 15 minute city, you live in a theme park.“
who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.
