On the rising secular religion of curatolatry - article does not say as much, but this trend is surely inspired in no small part by the heroic museum curator martyred in Dan Brown's immortal shlock-thriller The Da Vinci Code.

Yeah, I enjoyed the book, and I don't have a competency to judge his English, but I was also thinking sometimes that he insults our intelligence, with explanations that could be easily deduced from the description or action.

You probably already listen to Thinking Sideways.

[QUOTE=rogue;458365]You probably already listen to Thinking Sideways.[/QUOTE]No, haven't heard of it. I currently have 48 podcast feeds. (7 haven't updated in a year, the others within the month, some are daily or more often.) 3 of the series I am a Patreon for. There are about 400 episodes in my backlog.

Macron or LePen?
 

France is up to vote for his next president. Macron or LePen?

I got a good feeling that Macron will make it, but what will happen if LePen wins? Will France leave the EU like GB is doing? This makes me "hmmm"

Dear people from France, there is an message for you:
Votez pour Macron, en sécurité en Europe!


Have a great weekend.
