I’ve traveled with these for years. The price has gone up recently but they’re still so worth it.

Had to be done

a map from 1918 showing the interurban network sprawling across Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio

One side obsession from my research into the 1920s is the extensive network of ELECTRIC trains that used to connect cities and towns across the central Midwest called the Interurban. We had this more than a hundred years ago. The things we had and the things we lost.

Large Tanker in the Strait of Hormuz.

Major waterway to be renamed “Shrődinger’s Strait of Hormuz” following the discovery that it can simultaneously open or closed, dependant on who is observing.

England fans facing hugely inflated prices to get to New Jersey's MetLife Stadium for World Cup games The cost of getting the train from New York to the venue, where the Three Lions play Panama in their final group game, will be £111 - nearly 12 times the usual fare.

Quite frankly anyone travelling to the US voluntarily gets no sympathy from me. They know what they are getting into.

A Prominent PR Firm Is Running a Fake News Site That’s Plagiarizing Original Journalism at Incredible Scale A PR firm is running a strange AI-fueled plagiarism mill that's ripping off — and mangling — a huge amount of local and national reporting.

NEW: A PR company is operating a bizarre fake news site that's plagiarizing original journalism at a massive scale -- all while spewing misinformation, publishing hallucinated quotes, and replacing real people’s names with “Jane Doe.”

Also: it misquotes the Pope.

A block of very light yellow cheese with very small holes in it. Taken from an article: "How to make Pecorino Cheese like an Italian Cheesemaker" from "Vincenzo's Plate"

Roman Legionary soldiers were issued 1 Roman ounce (27 grams) of Pecorino Romano cheese per day to go with grain (for bread or porridge) & salted meat.

Pecorino means "of sheep" in Italian ('pecus' is Latin for "cattle").

As the name suggests, pecorino romano is "sheep's cheese of Rome"...

In the footsteps of Linnaeus: scientists share their passion for species from tiny wasps to hairy plants – in pictures For his project ‘De Oförtrutna’ (The Relentless), photographer Christer Björkman pictured Swedish scientists working in the spirit of Carl Linneaus, the botanist who created the modern taxonomic syste...

All these people are great. But that one person whose specialism is dandelion reproduction? Reading that, I shook my head and sighed with fretful awe. It's a bonkers subject. A mycologist once told me that dandelion taxonomy genuinely frightened him.

Wait a minute…how big are these cookies? 😂

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

Send him to Moscow.

Oh look! Zara has these adorable nipple ring drawer pulls!
