Great reporting from @byrobdavies.bsky.social here. Puy du Fou is the top park I need to visit (uncomplimentary) because it presents such a spectacular, exclusionary, nostalgic view of the past - and by implication, the present and future.

From occupied Crimea to Oxfordshire: the Kremlin links to new £600m UK theme park

Exclusive: Puy du Fou worked with under-sanctions oligarch on plans for Crimea resort longer than disclosed, and later courted Iran and China

I think it is terrible that I, as a middle-aged woman, have only just now realized how much I enjoy soft serve. *Especially* the fancy kind. Anyway, Milk Bar has vanilla creme soft serve with cookie sand and crumbs on top. And they put extra sand on the bottom of the cup too.

Adding my voice to the chorus of folks that The Incident at Galley House is really, really worth your time. Bravo William Rous, @eviltrout.com, and the whole team. store.steampowered.com/app/36...

The Incident at Galley House on Steam

In 1936, something terrible happened at Galley House. Decades later, with a strange contraption that reveals echoes of the past, you must uncover the truth behind this grisly mystery.
