Fascinating insight that Singapore is in fact the world's third-largest importer of Scotch (behind the US and France). Also, with the JAG Liquid Gold Fund, I've finally found my kind of investment opportunity. #

Friends, if you haven't yet done so, it's time to install Firefox, the only browser these days that's not based on Google's Chromium. And the one browser that doesn't track the hell out of you (on the contrary, it helps you  avoid being tracked as much as possible). #

Fascinating 3D renderings of the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan by Thomas Kole. With the accompanying text, they put you right back into the 16th century and the heart of the Aztec empire. #

A new tech outlet made by ex-Motherboard journalists. It already sounded intriguing, but they had me when I saw that they put their RSS feed right into their menu. #

A fun read about finding Tom Cruise, which reminded me of a French book by a guy called Guillaume de la Croix about how Tom Cruise stole his life. Incidentally, I tried finding out more about him just now, and funnily enough, found more or less nothing. #

That's a long one! Figlmüller is right there at the start, which is nice, but I still haven't been. And seeing how nowadays it's more of a tourist trap than anything, I probably won't either. #

"Nothing became him in life like the leaving of it, says a character from “Macbeth” of the traitor Cawdor’s acceptance of his execution. Boris Johnson may have once been commissioned to write a study of Shakespeare but he has never taken that particular line to heart. Perhaps that’s why he returned the publisher’s advance." – What a way to start this piece. I like it. #
