Finally Andorra gets enough land to raise a proper army.

I've just realised there's something for my list of things to do. Sort out my wardrobe.
It's full of work shirts hanging up.... That I just don't wear in the age of WFH. They need folding and storing with only one or two left hanging for emergency... Something.

No this seems to be doing the rounds on som crazy North American TikTok.

They don't have a whole theory of time just that there's a lack of primary sources for the existence of Rome or Latin so it was actually all written in the Medieval period (and put in a canon by the Inquisition) - presumably because that's when surviving copies of texts (copied by monks) actually date to?

It's mad but less coherent than the Russian guy.

Raz, hope it goes well.

I saw that Tik Tok (hillarious that she actually used a latin phrase and an expression from Juvenal during her "reasoning"), it's not exactly a very well fleshed out theory. I wonder if there's more stuff besides that, so we can check on the madness that it is.

Astonishing factoid from Economist review of San Fransicko, about homelessness there.  Injection drug users outnumber kids enrolled in public schools by 50%.   

I thought Lichtenstein's capital was Lichtenstein city.  Did they change it?

You're thinking about Luxembourg. There's no such a place as Lichtenstein City.
