Dear German Twitter: what does 'Delektiker' mean? It's from an 1889 article: ' sie sind zu viel Verstandsmenschen, kritische Delektiker.'

Whatever your political views, how wonderful to see a senior frontbencher precede their Q&A at #abo24 by playing some solo Bach for us all. Thank you, @ThangamMP 👏 👏

The "good old days"
ALT The “good old days” are as much as illusion as the good times coming. The “good old days” are an idealistic hallucination indulged in by those poor pessimists who despise the present and fear the future but admire a past of which they know little expect that it can never return to worry them with its troubles. -Hokitika Guardian, June 25, 1921.

Good evening! Just a little reminder that you are going to die. Don't forget! From Jan Provoost, whose day was today.

I was just thinking of the Dutch word for "tapering a medication dose gradually". It is #uitsluipen, which effectively means something like "sneaking out the [back] door".
"Let's gradually reduce the steroid dose and hope the immune system doesn't notice."
Longer in German?

Fun fact: If you have a good musical ear, you can tell the speed of a passing vehicle by listening to the pitch interval it makes as it goes by. You don't even need perfect pitch since it only depends on the ratio.
If you hear more a major third or more, they're speeding!

I’m not actually watching the coronation but my timeline tells me that the great British tradition of the nation coming together on such momentous occasions to take the living piss is as strong as ever. – at Exeter, England
