My experience in Munich is about one check in 40 trips. They used to be slightly more common. But they hardly ever seem to find anyone without a ticket these days.

Since Löfstedt died in 1955, I guess his commentary has just come into the public domain in most countries a few days ago.

Dual citizens: If you're a dual citizen with British or Irish citizenship, you cannot get an ETA. When you travel to the UK you'll need to prove your citizenship using: a valid British passport / a valid Irish passport / another valid passport containing a certificate of entitlement
A quick warning, in case there's anyone like me with dual citizenship planning to get an ETA to travel to Britain. They don't seem to allow that. Here's what the government website (www.gov.uk/eta/when-not...) says:
Prof. Eleanor Dickey was interviewed by @thesaurosaur.bsky.social about Latin Loanwords in Ancient Greek for the TLL Podcast. Check it out below:

It also sounds like "hypnotist". A kind of pun by metathesis.
The Thesaurus linguae Latinae podcasts are mostly about Latin words, and mostly in English. But the latest episode is in German, an interview by Swaantje Otto with Marcus Deufert, mostly about the TLL, but also a little about his work on a new edition of Roman comic fragments: tllpod.podbean.com
The idea of "proficiens" plays a surprisingly large role in the secondary literature on Lucan, where it was supposed to characterise Pompey's portrayal. Surprising, because Lintott had noted in one short paragraph in 1971 that this was based on a 180 degree misreading of Seneca (CQ 21 p. 504-5).
The Thesaurus linguae Latinae has a very intermittent podcast (including a talk by me on "pharus"). The latest entry is by Charles McNamara on "proficio": tllpod.podbean.com
Anthony Boucher had a detective (Fergus O'Breen?) who appears in conventional mysteries and also in fantasy stories.
Cover of fascicle XI.2.12 of the Thesaurus linguae Latinae, reus-robustus.
The latest installment of the Thesaurus linguae Latinae is finally in print. From "reus" to "robustus".
The last sentence reads like it was written in self disgust, after he saw what he'd written in the first sentence.
In recent months, a significant amount of time has been devoted to our database of employees of the MGH since their founding in 1819. We are currently focused on documenting the genesis of our editions. All MGH editors will be included shortly. Have a look!

Common in Miyazaki's films: My neighbour Totoro (tiny truck), Spirited Away (car), Arietty (car). You could include some others, e. g. The Castle of Cagliostro, but the "getting there" portion is a bit more extended.
Oh and "Bad Day at Black Rock" (1955)
A Canterbury Tale (1944) sort of counts. The main characters arrive in a Kent village by train and spend the rest of the film in Kent (mostly in the village, but the final scenes in Canterbury).
The Spectator has always had a slightly odd status: a lot of fairly normal conservatives, but also Taki Theodoracopulos (apparently from 1977). It seemed to have some special dispensation to be somewhere writers could publish without embarassment despite his presence.
