I am always accepting pitches. I specialize in health, credible wellness/fitness trends, and odd and/or this is not the first time in history pieces. Prioritize timely, widely relevant stories over evergreen or super-niche topics

[The Man in Seat 61 @seatsixtyone]

Been asked about the accuracy of Agatha Christie’s ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ sleeper layout. Long story short, ended up down a rabbit hole about the working of the Jack & Jill washroom locks in a 1927 S1 sleeping-car.

Mrs 61 got her coffee late AGAIN…

✨Sharifi-ha House, designed by nәxtoffice and completed in 2014 in Tehran, reinterprets traditional Iranian spatial adaptability with a contemporary approach featuring a dynamic façade that transforms in response to seasonal and functional needs. The house features three rotating volumes that pivot to create either an open, extroverted space with large terraces in summer or a closed, insulated structure during winter. This adaptability echoes traditional Iranian homes, where distinct summer (Taabestan-Neshin) and winter (Zemestan-Neshin) living spaces provided comfort throughout the year. The rotating boxes not only redefine the building’s aesthetic but also influence interior lighting, ventilation, and spatial experience.

These movable rooms—including a guest suite, home office, and breakfast area—allow the residents to modify their living environment based on occupancy and use. The turning mechanism, inspired by theatrical stage designs and engineered with precision in Germany, enables smooth rotation while maintaining structural integrity. A central void, connected by suspended bridges, ensures natural light reaches deep into the interior, even when the façade is in its closed configuration. By integrating cutting-edge engineering with cultural references, Sharifi-ha House reimagines residential architecture as a dynamic, responsive system.

The tallest tree in Wales got damaged by a storm and was supposed to be cut down, instead chainsaw artist Simon O'Rourke found a better solution to symbolise the tree's last attempt to reach the sky.

@SamsungUK Thank you so much for replying. At least customer service is real!

[Linda McCormick @_lindamccormick]

Dear @SamsungUK I am waiting on a delivery from you via #DPD @Geopost_news. They say they have tried to deliver twice. They haven't. The driver sat in the van, took a photo of the wrong house and drove off. Is there any way to contact your delivery team? Real person, not bot?

[Linda McCormick @_lindamccormick]

Morning @Geopost_news I need to get in touch with a real person at #DPD UK. As you own them, can you tell me how? Bot no good. Obvs. 3rd attempt at delivery today. Would like the driver to actually get out of van. Heck I will go to him if it means I actually get my parcel!
