I was yesterday years old when I learned modern penguins aren’t actually “penguins” at all, they’re only called penguins because they look like the now-extinct OG penguin, the Great Auk

Jess just showed me a pic of an Auk and I told her they must be from the 40k universe otherwise it would be spelt with a C. Deathly silence. Followed by penguin trivia.

The HR person who made me redundant two weeks before I gave birth, then blithely told me that the company was no longer responsible for my mat pay, and that I would have to apply for statutory mat pay through the government - all completely incorrect - is now doing AI thought leadership on LinkedIn

Been reading about Summerland on the Isle of Man, which burned down two years after it opened, killing 50 people. Horrendous

The Garrick Theatre in #southport is a glorious essay in #artdeco styling that will hopefully be brought back to life soon. Designed by local architect George Tonge in 1932, it has more recently been a bingo hall and is now scheduled to become a classy hotel 🤞
