2025 is the centenary of the appointment of Ebenezer James Macrae as Edinburgh City Architect. Dubbed "the man who shaped modern Edinburgh", his work characterised by a blend of modern form and function with traditional style. A uniquely splendid example is the Edinburgh Police Box 👮📦🧵▶️

I have reason to be browsing the Wikipedia page for fish names and it is a new-found source of much joy. Orbicular batfish! Pelican gulper! Plownose chimaera! Sarcastic fringehead!

If you think this looks like a mess: it isn‘t. It‘s a treasure trove of information. There is no history writing without archives, and there are no archives without people who appreciate and protect them. History, much like democracy, begins locally. Cherish it.

Anyone in need of some ancient art to brighten up your day? In need of some _cute_ ancient art? How about this marvel from (probably) the first century CE Rome, currently held in the Getty museum, of a bronze mouse nibbling away!
