Word of the day is a favourite for this time of year. To be ‘crambazzled’, in old Yorkshire dialect, is to be prematurely aged by excess drinking or partying.

Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.
To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.

This is a 397-year-old Greenland Shark, born in 1627! It is the old living vertebrate known on the planet. In his younger days he went drinking with Charles II, Isaac Newton and JS Bach. He once told Samuel Pepys to "fuck off, diary cunt".
Don't write off the elderly, they've led quite a life.

Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony. However, eating too much pie is okay because the sin of pi is always zero.

Picked up this little book of writers’ writing rituals, & I think most of em are liars — “up at dawn, 6 hours at my desk, followed by calisthenics, liquor, & reading edifying works.” But David Lynch delivers the goods.
