So sad to see the hollowing out of National Geographic continue with the closure of the Wildlife Watch desk. There's really no where else in media for the kinds of deeply reported, nuanced stories that WW did on illegal trade and poaching. Its loss is a loss for us all.
Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg (the “world’s largest model railway”, which somehow undersells what it is) is a gem upon this earth — but best of all, their bistro seating is designed like you’re on an airliner. The dream came true!!
I really kind of wish this (a restaurant with an airline meal theme) existed. Proposed model: pay by the hour, work, read or (possibly in a modified 4-top arrangement) meet. Food and drink comes by on carts. High focus, soothing background white noise, and very Insta-friendly.

One underappreciated danger of electing anti-science conspiracy theorists is that they appoint anti-science conspiracy theorists. Covid vaccines don't contaminate your DNA & it endangers public health for a surgeon general to say they do scientificamerican.com/article/no-cov… @sciam
Some of my favorite Icelandic words (so far!) are the set of four that describe each of mother-daughter, mother-son, father-daughter and father-son as a unit. (“The father-daughter have arrived”) There’s no English translation for these! (: mæðgur, mæðgin, feðgin, feðgar)
Semantic gaps. Swedish has a specific word for each of the four grandparents: mormor, morfar, farmor, farfar. English doesn’t. So when you mention your “grandma” to a Swede, they are left wondering “which grandma?” even if it is not relevant to the story.
