This 345 Park situation is pretty scary. Hope everyone else in the building is ok. It’s a big property and I know a lot of people had to shelter in place while this was happening

Like so many folks, I really loved Andor. But what’s amazing and special is that a lot of the most gifted artists and creators behind the show have been incredibly open about their creative process behind their work on the series. Here’s a roundup of interviews with those geniuses:

A piece of history every Indian should know is that the United Nations International School in New York was started by a Keralite Christian who discovered that even Jesuit schools in Manhattan wouldn't take his son.

The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill).
Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill).
Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)

Arguably the thing that people treat the most dismissively that would absolutely floor pre-modern people is clothing. I don't think non-historians understand how much human labor went into pre-modern creation of clothes and fibers. A single dress is the culmination of many many hours of work
