Shout out to @rhyspockett.bsky.social for introducing me to roasted pork belly. I thought I didn’t like pork: my family of origin served pork schnitzels, when I was young enough to nope out.

There are buses on my my bus route that still have the “please have exact change” signs (it’s over a decade - maybe 15 years? - since you could pay in board). There is also a bus that has a large sign visible as you board saying “I am a new bus”.

I have a question: How does Hozier pronounce Hozier? I was in a French speaking environment when I got into Hozier. I just said “Hozier” aloud it was NOT analogous to Hoosier. It sounded, in my current accent (more aussified than my default English 2013-2019), very wrong.

Had anyone told me this at any point between, oh, senior high school and two years ago I would have either - pre 2013, been keen to read Hamlet or - 2013+ Newly Understanding Hamlet Now, I Understand but I am disconcerted to report that I have Outgrown Hamlet in this, the only True perspective

another thing about setting hamlet at christmas is that it reflects the beautiful human experience of having a long holiday at your parents that makes you feel like you’re going insane

Local urban legend says (so probably not true but a fun story) the Freiburg Münster's 13th century stonemasons were fired by the Mayor, but told to finish the gargoyles before they left, so this one is pointing towards Freiburg City Hall 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
