Y’know how Sydney Ferries have the announcement welcoming you on board an ‘iconic Sydney ferry’. Other cities should have that.
‘Welcome aboard an iconic Melbourne tram.’
‘Welcome on board an iconic Adelaide O-bahn bus.’
‘Welcome on board the iconic Brisbane Metro.’

if there’s one lesson for progressives from the MAGA decade, it’s that they shouldn’t be tricked into being the defenders of institutions by virtue of polarisation.

Urgent question to the linguists: as a Bavarian today, would I be able to understand a Bavarian time traveler from 1815?! How many of these dialects would still be comprehensible by the current population?
