Today is National Biscuit Day, and it’s about time that I populated this account with biscuit (cookie) sets from the past few years. Here are some of my favourites. 🧵
First up, a set inspired by the delicious designs of William Morris and John Henry Dearle.

This footage of Sam and Dave on the Stax and Volt tour in 1966 is electric. Imagine what it must have been like to have been in the audience.

The Five Stages of Tankie Grief
1. They didn't capture Aleppo
2. They didn't capture Hama
3. They didn't capture Homs
4. They didn't capture Damascus
5. That's not Assad in Moscow.

Seeing as Quincy Jones has shuffled off this mortal coil this morning, it's worth remembering his *fabulously* chaotic interview from 2018 in which, amongst other things, he outs Marlon Brando, slags off Ringo Starr and reveals who shot Kennedy. Masterful: web.archive.org/web/20241003...

Saw this post and it reminded me of one of my last really successful threads in the other place. So, as that place dwindles and this place grows, I thought I'd repost some of my old threads from time to time. First up - identifying this British officer & discovering he's a celebrated architect.

If you’re bored enough later today, I’m going to begin fermenting some cacao. 5-7 days of pictures that will not change, obscure temperature and microbial data, and bad jokes lie ahead. Get psyched.
