Aficionado of low notes — bassoons, cellos, rolling thunder. Whipped cream on my unsweetened apple crumble. Workin’ the pith ‘n’ vinegar beat.

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

Gary Oldman and Mick Herron (author of the Slough House books)
Looking through the spy/mystery section in a London bookshop preparing for a train journey about 2017, decided on 3rd book. Bookseller refused to sell it to me unless I’d read first two. So I did. During early lockdown shipped off a box of the books to a friend. Series as delicious as the books.

My dad built a lot of long neck lutes in his life, and one of his masterpieces is a Turkish lavta. He just gave (!) me this instrument because 'I'm not getting any younger, son' (he's 82). It's gorgeous. Every piece you see is handmade.

Richard Scarry’s conception of sanitary drainage systems (labeled here as “dirty water”) appears identical to how some of the earliest plumbing systems were installed in the US and UK in the early 19th century.

The Italian-style standalone bidets are the worst of the bidets, but are infinitely more civilized than not having one at all. And they (plus the window requirement) make the bathroom big enough that you can often chop one old-school Italian bathroom into two:

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.
