Beneath the basements are the catacombs, vestiges of older temples home to forgotten documents and remains. Few come down here today, except for those heading to the ancient temple space below.

YouTube has started showing me videos of Americans coming to the Netherlands and cycling around, and I can't stop cringing.

They have no idea where they're going, they ride like they're in the Tour de France, and they very obviously don't know the rules of the road.

They mean well, but holy shit do some basic research before showing up. You're not in Portland anymore.

I have been putting it off for ages, but I'm really going to have to make a video about how to visit the Netherlands.

The Guardian has published *The 10 best electric cars to buy if you want to avoid Tesla.* Alas, the ratings fail to include how easy it is to painlessly turn off all radio transmission, and GPS reception, by the car's proprietary computer systems. That information is crucial for any car, whether electric or not.

Oh look, a #slimeMold. Such a weird … life form. Not fungi, not plant, not animal (but it moves).

This is the greatest thing ever.
