When I found a pub with an inverted normal map. (If you understand what this means, you have to repost.)
A whitewashed pub wall, with mortar standing proud of the stones.

A little comic about desire paths.
Ok so…
There’s a nice little park on a corner, and a path running directly to one edge of the park. That’s the first image, but there’s 12 other images here. In the second image, there is now a desire path running diagonally across the park. Next image, the path has been blocked by a park bench that the council has put in as a deterrent. Unfazed, in image 4 the path now deftly avoids the park bench. In images 5 and 6 the process is repeated, this time with a strategically placed bin which the desire path also avoids. Presumably in a fit of rage, the council plants an entire hedge to stop people creating new desire paths but eventually this too is defeated and a new path find a way. Finally, the council admits defeat and turns the desire path into a proper paved pathway.  After a little while, a new desire path curving off this new paved pathway begins to emerge…

Had another chance today to give my one rock-solid bit of advice for tourists visiting the UK: instead of Stonehenge, spend the day at Avebury (You can touch the stones! There's a pub inside the circle! You can walk to Silbury Hill! It's free!)

Today is the 30th anniversary of the PS1 in Japan. One of its most notable moments came five months later, at E3 1995. Sega had just announced that the Saturn would cost $399 in the US. Sony's conference followed, and Steve Race dropped the three words that would change gaming.

🧵This is the story of THE WORST GIG I've EVER done. NYE 2018. I posted on Facebook about what a fab year I’d had, donned my best lashes and set off for my last gig of the year: singing pop to 80 people at a pub in Essex. Easy, easiest of gigs and paying sweeeet dollar.

Picked this up today. Equally comfortable executive producing as he is executive directing.
