Prestige podcasts are a great way to solve that age old problem of an audiobook that there aren’t enough set ups or credits in the middle of all the story

All the Trump transition picks basically come down to ‘Trump nominates the Hamburglar to run McDonald’s’

@publicaddress I love the removing car parks &safety upgrades. I wonder at wisdom of not having the bus stops set back as now in rush hour a bus disgorging school kids hold the entire road up for the duration of the stops. It seems a good way to wind up drivers and lower support for bike lanes

Trying to get a kid HOP card is insanely hard - @AklTransport - now apparently a child has to go to a station to have a kid card activated- but most bussing kids never go near a station? This info is out of date on your website - https://t.co/AkoS5RO83l

Normalise naps

[Physics In History @PhysInHistory]

Einstein slept nearly 10 hours a day. He valued the significance of quality sleep for maintaining his well-being. His sleep routine, though, was out of the ordinary.
He regularly indulged in brief daytime naps, occasionally more than once a day. These quick naps, lasting just a few minutes, were thought by Einstein to revitalize his mental energy and creative thinking.

He felt that these short periods of rest gave him a renewed viewpoint to solve intricate scientific challenges.

@SikotiHamiltonR Slightly sideways but helicopter is a fascinating loan word - as you would think it would come from heli and copter together. But as @nosuchthing taught me it is actually from helico (for spiral) and pter (for wing) the same pt root that goes to pterodactyl.

@REasther @NedGilmore There are ~60m of them so per capita it was a win, surely?
