Love this variant on a rose window on John James Stevenson's 1898 Scottish gothic style church on Belmont Street in Glasgow, especially the way the central glasswork mirrors the patterns of the outer tracery.

Also, regarding dubbed vs subbed...
I used to work with an Iranian man and he said he loved Jerry Lewis more than anything in Iran. Such a funny man! But when he came to America and saw them in English, he realized he was actually a fan of the Iranian comedian who did the dubbing!

There are like five conservative social media apps, including one run by the president of the United States, and it’s weird how we never get a Washington Post editorial about how divisive and unwelcoming they are.

I am very excited by this thread. I hope it goes all the way to the ends
Making my way through LORD OF THE RINGS for the first time and I will admit to being charmed by how Tolkien goes out of his way to explain why the hobbits have tobacco but says nothing about why there's fireworks but no cannons.

Super interesting points on how often your bus service should run!
Wrote about this many years ago on Twitter, but your actual goal should be 5 trains/buses an hour - so a 12 minute interval.
This breaks a couple of important psychological barriers for people, based on research by TfL (London's transport operator). Will explain. 🧵 /1

If it’s not more convenient than driving, it will always be your second option.
