Sometimes all the wisdom and truth in the world can be found on the side of an 18th century Wedgwood teapot;
Health to the sick
Honour to the brave
Success to the lover
And freedom to the slave
Sharing this one again because it's awesome, someone should start reproducing these.

Does anyone recall Dorothy Dunnett's historical novels-- e.g., the Lymond series? Are her novels still being read? Is there still an active fandom?

Does anyone out there over the aether recall a series of British spy thrillers from the 1960s-1970s where the main character was named "Colonel Ryder"? The novels were reprinted in the early 1980s-- I recall that much, but not the author or any titles.

Watched "House of Dynamite" today. Very fine small film-- a kind of pre-WW3 procedural. I really liked the way the film dealt with the machinery of crisis. This is something I'll end up getting on DVD.

Does anyone else recall a period from the early/mid 1960s when the Maltese Cross / Iron Cross was rebranded in the US as the "Surfer's Cross" and they were briefly popular as necklaces?

Beyond mysterious letters at Poste Restante, I really, really want one day to finally receive a telex. And maybe a pneumo message, if I'm in Paris.
