Weird take in the FT - surely increasing financial independence is as much of a factor as lab diamonds?

Screenshot saying "Women are buying their own diamonds now, the chief executive of jewellery maker Swarovski has said. Lab-grown options were “enabling self-purchase” compared with traditional mined diamonds, “where in most instances it was a man offering a ring to a woman”, said Alexis Nasard."

I’ve signed up to the Bxl Tour. Can’t quite believe it’s me. Let’s talk on 15 June to see how I feel about this decision…!

A comment from today’s #polyfutures that I will be using elsewhere. When something is complex, you can try to force simplicity on it, or you can try to bring clarity, and it’s important to understand the difference.

A post it that says “difference between simplicity and clarity” and has the Polyfutures hashtag

I picked up my new bike on Monday. I have cycled more this week than any time since I was at uni in the Netherlands (1992). Let’s hope I keep it up.

What is this nonsense? How can face cream be neurotech? Has some marketing AI gone rogue?

The label of a face serum that says it “combines neurotechnology and a biomimetic botanical blend”.

This take on the EU in Tim Marshall’s fascinating Prisoners of Geography made me laugh out loud on an airplane.

Fab Eartha Kitt story. It’s good when celebs live up to their personas

Screenshot with the following story: "In the early 80s, I was the manager at the Coffee Shop in the Cumberland Hotel at Marble Arch. Miss Eartha Kitt was staying at the hotel for a few days whilst she was performing at the Hippodrome. We were informed she would be joining us for 'breakfast'.

"She appeared alone at noon in a beaded cocktail dress, huge heels and full slap.

"'Miss Kitt, it's an honour to have you here. The staff would be extremely grateful if you would sign a menu for them,' I said.

"'Daaaahlink, I'll sign anything for you if you bring me a beer,' she growled.

"And that was her 'breakfast' for three days. Precisely at noon, she would arrive alone in a slinky, fabulous dress and 'breakfast' was two bottles of Carlsberg and a long, fine cigar."

You do. But I see that you can have multiple accounts, so maybe that's the option (if confusing for people looking for you)

Just finished this mosaic crochet bedspread. A great pattern, a bit challenging, but not so much that you can't do it in front of the TV. Always feels good to get it done. 🧶
