Shoutout to the Carolingian contingent sent to Rome to sort out the factional violence only to admit that they have no idea whatā€™s going on.

Rome was, with 20,000 25,000 people, a huge and rich city by western standards, with its own political procedures, a set of rituals as elaborate as those of Aachen, an equally complex network of official hierarchies, and a dense factional politics which the Carolingians openly admitted they did not understand. They constantly sent representatives to try to work it out, but only too often, as the Royal Frankish Annals put it in 823, they 'could not determine exactly what had happened'.

Do I have any followers who can tell me what typeface this is? Iā€™d appreciate it

Cover of Michael Franks 1978 album ā€œBurchfield Nines.ā€ Heā€™s at the left of the cover, arms crossed, wearing a yellow sweater; heā€™s casting glands to the painting to his left, at the right of the album sleeve. The painting shows four red nines in the foreground as theyā€™d appear on grocery signs; behind, a cityscape beneath a blue sky with clouds.

šŸŽµ They say there is an orange fash Sustained by hate and Russian cash, And if you vote for him he's gonna screw ya. He gave a speech and his brain went wrong; A singer's vexed that they played this song; But no-one reads the words to "Hallelujah"...

You hear them shouting "Heil, Spode!" and you imagine it is the Voice of the People. That is where you make your bloomer. What the Voice of the People is saying is: "Look at that frightful ass Spode swanking about in footer bags! Did you ever in your puff see such a perfect perisher?"
