Everybody knows Franz Kafka, but almost no one knows his sister Ottla. She was gassed on arrival at Auschwitz on Oct 7, 1943 after volunteering to escort a group of orphans from the Terezin ghetto so they wouldn’t be afraid.

@Scott_Wortley To be fair, having a haunted hourglass filled with the powdered soul of someone incinerated to death would probably put a dampener on family game night.

Huge fan of "after you die" in this.

If you're cremated after you die, you can be put into an hourglass and continue to participate in family game night.

The replies are typically “Why aren’t they going faster, Hulk Smash!”
I dunno, why would you be careful right next to a vital glass-roofed transport hub?

Idea: make a Kindle that gets bigger and heavier depending on the book you’re reading, Anathem is like 1000 pages, it’s good to know what you’re getting into.
I know it’d break several laws of Physics, but Amazon break lots of accounting laws so that shouldn’t be a dealbreaker.

Neal Stephenson’s Anathem was published in 2008.

There is this to be said about the Scottish parliamentary system: it can make a decision. Unlike Westminster.

The “Everyone is 12 now” theory truly is foundational for our times.

A source sent me this photo of Kash Patel’s customized Nike’s. The shoes feature a number 9 (Patel is the 9th FBI director), a Punisher skull (a vigilante killer from Marvel Comics), and his personal logo (K$H). The backs of the shoes show the FBI motto: "Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity". Patel was photographed wearing them at an FBI Academy event that featured UFC fighters.

Unfollowed John Cleese and Twitter suddenly got a lot less toxic.

Excellent points in this thread. Crucially, moving forward requires constructive engagement, there's far too much politicisation of these (really) logistical matters, and too much weight given to spurious & irrelevant opinion. It's a fine balance, partic in the run up to election

Lack of plans and ideas isn’t the problem out there, it’s creating a culture that starts making things happen - from the micro towards the macro. Let’s just get on and do things, with politicians and officers pulling the right levers to release action.

See if someone’s knob got torn off and they were walking around with it like to hospital or something, if they happened to walk past a woman or child and left it uncovered, could that still be indecent exposure? It’s in their hand on show.
