I love Adam Mastroianni’s Substack newsletter “Experimental History”, one of many great Substack newsletters that I’d miss if I wasn’t on Substack because it’s a “Nazi bar” (as a friend noted recently — is it really a Nazi bar if you’ve never actually seen a Nazi there?)

I don’t understand “Dubai chocolate”. I mean it’s not bad but the cost is ridiculous.
