Oh, I had this conversation with a Youth at work who was very convinced that I - a person who feels wild if I get through a bottle a week shared with my wife - was an alcoholic because ‘you’re too excited about having a glass!’ What. On. Earth.

Apologies for crashing the thread, but seeing you here reminded me that ‘Tomb with a View’ and ‘Steeplechasing’ were two of my absolute favourite reads last year, the way you balance history/architecture/the present human dimension is beautiful.

Poetry recommendation: read Simon Armitage’s Pearl // Sir Gawain and the Green Knight in a weekend an loved them - utterly beautiful but also really thrilling to read.
I am now reading Sylvia Townsend Warner’s The Corner that Held Them (90% through) & it is a fun but also surprisingly moving read.

I get what you're saying, but I don't actually think there was an era in my lifetime when the FBI weren't fundamentally embarrassing - the Atlanta Olympics spring to mind.

The anchestors (Thule inuits) of the inuits in Greenland today migrated from Canada in 1400, about 400 years after the Norse arrived in Greenland. Paleo inuits lived in the north when the norse settlers arrived in the south, and they were displaced by the Thule inuits.

That is genuinely v interesting, thank you - I hadn’t realised! I suppose I am just feeling a little extra sensitive because (as a Danish person living abroad), I am getting a lot of comments from people which either ignore the Greenlandic Inuit or have a v rosy view of Danish behaviour in Greenland

I am sorry, no they weren’t. The Greenlandic Inuit are the indigenous inhabitants of Greenland and their treatment by the Danish state was colonialist and remains so today. I don’t want Trump to take over Greenland, but pretending Denmark is noble in all this is maybe a step too far.
