The bloodthirsty anarchy of old Europe's rulers is eye-opening in the book "The White Ship".
Today I'm enjoying an old castle's tourist promotion site, which casually relates the good times. Tfw you appreciate the rule of law.

I once worked at a corporation that started using door badge-swipes to track attendance. Remember, being in control is better than making products and services.
Anyway it was common knowledge that if you badge-out as soon as you walk in the door, your time on site cannot be tracked. Humans!

Recently watched Vampyr (1932): surreal/dreamlike, but also hard to follow in places, but also that would make the director happy.

Lots of cool cinematography.

A list of conditions the USA CDC seems to say makes you eligible to get a Covid vaccination. Because Covid is only a danger if you have one of these. So I guess if you tell a pharmacist which one you have, you can get a vaccine?
