What’s the buzz? We’re in the cheap seats tonight, got to be in the onstage standing spots for the tour in the morning. Excited to see Billy Nevers, who we saw in Hamilton as Lafayette/Jefferson before, as Judas tonight. First show of this trip!

I found this a fascinating listen, had no idea that Dutch city planners have been stannjng Stevenage (at least in principle) for decades.
John Bull@garius.bsky.social · 12h agosidenote: if you want my thoughts on Stevenage in general, as both a historian and someone who grew up there, then @grindrod.bsky.social was kind enough to invite me on his podcast a while back. we talked about how the town represents a future that never-quite-was. youtu.be/cpK86DUOxNo?...
I’m sure it’s appropriately climate-controlled and all the rest, but the new case Jezza is in is a massive downgrade from his old wooden one, at least aesthetically. No good way to get a pic.
We have all been there. Cold, wet and just plain scared.

What I love about this painting is how it conveys the importance of the early c18th in the Victorian imagination as the time of ghosts, irrevocably beyond living memory. There would have been people still alive born in the late c18th, after all

Would definitely be a regular at a pub with this sign.
Tuatha@tuatha.ie · 5d agoThis carved stone plaque was found in St Francis' Row in Cashel, and it is believed to be the sign for a tavern that was known as The Cat & Bagpipes, that once stood on the main street. It may date to as early as the 16-17th century, and offers a glimpse of Cashel's social life from centuries ago
