There will be many deserved tributes to the late Chris Rea but I will always think of the naming of this stroppy bird from Hertfordshire, and smile www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/news/hertfor...
Headline: 20 rheas running free in Hertfordshire village 'actually just one bird called Chris' By Adam May 6 APR 2021 Below this there is an image of a lone rhea in a grassy, green field. The rhea has the aspect of a creature not in the mood to be bothered.

I have said before and will say again that it is such a loss that we no longer get covers of this caliber for fantasy books.

This art is by Jean-Léon Huens. These covers are for the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. They lit my imagination on fire as a kid.
Young man in a red tunic bearing a sword surrounded by armed glassy-eyed monsters A red robed horseman with a skull face and stag's antlers rides through the forest, the horse rearing back, a shaft of light falling onto the scene A red haired woman in a red dress and a boy in a blue doublet stand in front of a huge black cauldron. In the foreground, three cackling hags. A boy in a blue tunic with a dagger tries to get a sword away from a giant orange cat

Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread
My hand holding a shortbread cookie in the shape of an airplane. There are red sprinkles in the pattern of the survivorship bias plane. A plate of the same cookies.

We begin today with a content warning: this dispatch from history is not for the faint-hearted. However, if you wish, do please join me for the tale of the Sun King’s anal fistula and the three-hour operation performed on it without anaesthetic on this day in 1686... 🧵
Louis XIV in 1685, the year before his operation. Image shows a large man in huge long black wig and long blur robe trimmed with white fur and decorated with gold fleur-de-lis. He is clutching a sceptre in one hand and a laurel crown in the other, and one stockinged, gartered leg is sticking out of the robe

"Trying to raise large sums with lots of tax changes that we hope no one will notice, although it actually just infuriates everyone. We thought it would work last year, but it didn't. It never does.
But...
It might work for us this year."
