One bad thing about trains in Europe; the loud wanker is annoying in two or three languages.

It's been a great two weeks on the road, but I'm happy to go home: was wonderful to spend time with our kid, and @broadbean.bsky.social family. Also to see and do new things. Hope it changes me. 💜 #grateful

Isseki Nagae considers what would happen if all foreign workers left Japan. Among his conclusions: GDP shrinking 10% by the 5th year, stagflation, social security deficits, bankruptcies and a recession-induced crime wave. agora-web.jp/archives/260...

Which clumsy twat missed the last step at the train station and fucked their ankle up? Never mind, were at #DylanMoran. I hear laughter is the best medicine, right?

Hartstikke trots dat de Atlas van het dialect in Nederland waar ik samen met mijn mede-auteurs drie jaar aan gewerkt heb nu in de boekhandels ligt! Het boek staat vol met prachtige illustraties! Kunt u raden waar deze illustratie over gaat? www.lannoo.com/nl-nl/taal-l...

My annual pilgrimage to the Rem Koolhaas public toilet
A public toilet in Groningen, Netherlands; a circular white structure with a dark blue frieze design of highly stylised humans. It glows.

Oh well, I can rest when I get to the hotel. The hotel
A long, dimly lit hotel corridor. It's a building site, stained, dusty, debris and equipment everywhere.

Do something you love every day, so people can say you died doing something you loved. Awful to die doing something you hate, but no one ever says that.

People who don't like train travel will never know the joy of a furtive platform butty, followed by a mild adrenaline rush to find your seat.

Having a mini meltdown internally because I just want to dress as who I am, not a melting distraught blob. Fucking autumn and winter can't come fast enough.

If you described what the US has done since the end of ww2, and particularly of late, without stating the nation itself people would demand sanctions against it like we have for Russia and others. It's as deserving as them as Russia.
