@AgatheBleibtDaheim Danke - I hope you have a good and not too unbearably hot week

@jimkennedy Looks so lovely and peaceful. I hope you all enjoyed the festival!

@dutypo Morgen

Glædelig mandag. Just sending you a postcard from #Aarhus, just to say that I hope this week treats you kindly.

@MieKNielsen Åh nej. Jeg håber, at torsdag snart opfører sig bedre. Og at VVSeren snart kommer!

"It doesn’t look like anything made for war; it looks rather poetic."

It does! You see it, admire it, admire the craftwork of it, admire the near-lyrical sound, then get startled by the contrast when you read the explanatory plaque headed 'Celtic trails of blood'. That goes on to describe the 'brutal chaos' that follows the sounding of the 'ominous war trumpet'.

Making it so lovely, the carved head
- perhaps that was indeed to instill pride in the warriors, as you say.

I was mesmerised by this celtic war trumpet, but even more mesmerised when I saw a video of someone playing it. Until I heard it, I'd have assumed it made a monotone bellow. But the carnyx played varied, lighter notes. It sounded musical. Which somehow made the thought even more terrifying, of being gathered around the fire, telling stories one Iron Age night, and suddenly you hear this beautiful sinister music in the dark air, telling you a horde of Celtic warriors are about to attack.

@Graygeek Velkommen til nabolaget!

“From tee-shirt to towel. These hand-towels are made from 100% recycled textile including the museum’s used uniforms and work clothes. Using one hand-cloth instead of three sheets of disposable towel saves 30% in C02."

Nice initiative at Moesgaard Museum. I happened to come across it just after hearing about the new EU rule that prohibits companies from destroying unsold new clothes. I was reminded of the fact: ‘It takes 1,500 litres of water to produce 1 tee-shirt.'

@benjaminlj Genialt!

@benjaminlj Fantastisk

@retrosponge Yes indeed. That struck me too. It's like the opposite of Covid taught us to avoid.

@benjaminlj Hahaha - du kan tro, jeg brokker mig Jeg ramte en eller anden enshittification tipping point for et par år siden og nu skriver jeg hver gang, en tjeneste eller et firma forværrer deres produkter eller kundeservice ved digitalt at ødelægge noget.

@kilroy_was_here Absolutely agreed.

@jwcph Great point. Exactly correct. The old at-at-glance poster was a traditional shopfinder and wayfinder - a list of shop names and categories with corresponding numbers on the map. As you say, the 'what else is here?' function is fundamental. I might be looking for, say, scented oil for a candle burner. I think I'm looking for that pharmacy I can't remember the name of, then I spot a health shop on the index, closer to where I'm standing. New and useful information, at a glance.

@markiejiang Bruuns Galleri? Because I happen to come in through the train station and therefore know it, I've never looked at those signs. That is daft! When you're standing in the middle of the shopping areas, there's no way to see which exit leads where. Exactly what you need is a fingerpost sign showing you 'Trains, Thataway'.

@benjaminlj Haha - måske burde jeg smide et link til mit gnavne trut ind i deres Ris Eller Ros web-kasse næste gang jeg surmuler mig forbi skærmen.

@dutypo Morgen! Have a good day

@AgatheBleibtDaheim Danke - ha' en god uge
