Thinking about the time our high school English teacher gave us a poem to analyse When we finished she told us it was Donald Rumsfeld’s WMD press conference, and that was the class

It’s crazy that we don’t impose harsher punishments on people with license plate covers — they’re saying “the rules don’t apply to me.” Driving is a privilege, not a right, and if you don’t meticulously follow the law, it should be very easy to lose that privilege.

gmaps is such an unbelievable piece of technology that it almost hurts to criticize it but you can tell its engineers just don't care very much about cities. it's so strongly oriented towards automobile travel. fitting, really, for an american company based in a sv office park

Dear @googlemaps Come on, you can realise when I’m on a train. They travel along train tracks. You know where the trains are. You know other people are doing nearly identical journeys. Say “Are you on this train” and allow me to plan routes from there.

@KromanDavid It's so obvious that we should split the difference and offset the time by 30 min

It's not a major issue but I'd like to see Congress take up copyright reform. 95 years is absurd. Anything produced prior to 1960 should be public domain.

Hangman is a lovely childhood game where you slowly draw a man kiling himself if another kid can't read your mind.

@RichardBratby This is why I had to learn what a crotchet was before I conducted in Britain the first time.

One reason why US classical music / orchestral culture is so irrelevant to its British equivalents. It's basically a German set-up, rooted in German practices, traditions and assumptions. The language translates (though not even that, always), but little else does.
Rory Sutherland@rorysutherland

The bits Brits find confusing about US culture often emerge from German culture. Eg that weird marching band shit in the middle of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Perfect film with 10 minutes of wtf in the middle.

cyd charisse’s dance number in it’s always fair weather (1955) has some of the most creative choreography because she’s dancing in a boxing ring, a traditionally masculine place, and knocks out every man around her 😭

I think it’s some people’s first day on earth but like you do know Connor and Hudson will likely not ever be cast as a leading romantic pair together again right? that hollywood doesn’t make 5 different projects with the same two actors as leads right?

As a mature adult, it’s very important to hate a font, and the people who use that font, with an irrational intensity
