This gets you in the heart. It’s sadly ancient and beautiful. Parisians singing as they watch the Notre Dame cathedral burn. What else can they do? https://t.co/WoC2TgM9xZ

A reminder today of the 19th century word 'arsle': to go backwards on a task or mission rather than forward, to the point where you wonder why you started it in the first place (I arsle, you arsle, we are ars(e)ling, etc.).

My word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’: a 19th century wooden toy puppet whose limbs jerk about at the whim of the puppet master. It soon became used for a politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.
