Five Things Worth Sharing (III)
Following on from my trip to the British Library, I had something of a wander around the websites of the other London museums and found this:
Now that looks like very exact work to me. The kind of skill set I don’t have the attention span for. I wish I did because I’d love to spend the next ten years pretending to be Gustave Doré.
Noomi Rapace! The greatest actor alive and working today. No opinion to the contrary will ever pass my ears… and she has a new show. Constellation is coming down the line on Apple TV anytime now which will absolutely be worth breaking my TV blackout for:
Apple TV is not like the others. Everything on there has Huge Production Values. Most of the programming is not for me, but when they get it right, they are twenty thousand leagues above the other pile it high and sell it cheap merchants.

I should be surprised that there is a whole web site dedicated to such matters but sadly, in 2024, I am not.
You can view the whole page here in which the humble apple is buffed up against the mighty Mars with every single macronutrient coming under the microscope. There’s some neat graphs and charts going on… much like this:
Finally, being as I posted an image of a first edition copy of The Wizard of Oz a few posts back, I thought you might like a read of this article I found that dives into the occult roots of the whole story.
