"Thank you Wikipedia!" - JOHN HODGMAN, Doorknobs, Secretly Incredibly Fascinating #sifpod #doorknobs #WikipediaDay #JohnHodgman

Putin maintains a number of identical offices so that his opponents can't pinpoint his exact location. But a certain detail, doorknobs, revealed that those offices are not 100% identical.
I can imagine a Putin aide being shoved out of a window for getting this detail wrong.

#FotoVorschlag: Türgriffe // Door handles & door knobs

#Türklinken habe ich einige, aber die sind für den #Doorsday reserviert. Darum heute hier, ohne #Tür fotografiert, ein #Türgriff im Karolingischen #Westwerk der #Stiftskirche von #Corvey, UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe in Höxter. Und ein Best of #Türgriffe bzw. Türklinken aus Magdeburg, die ich schon mal gezeigt habe oder noch zeigen werde // I have several gorgeous door handles to show you, but it isn't #Doorsday yet. So here's a #doorHandle I photographed without its #door, from the Carolingian #Westwork of the Abbey #church of #Corvey, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in #Höxter. Plus a best of #doorHandles in Magdeburg I have already posted or am going to post at some point

> A lever handle says, "You are welcome here, and your journey into this space will begin without a fight." It speaks of accessibility, not as an afterthought or a begrudging concession to a building code, but as a foundational principle of hospitality.

"Bric-à-brac"

Lots of old knockers, hinges and wiring all left in a jumbled junk pile.

Woman at work using a napkin to open a cabinet. Man on subway using a tissue to hold on to the pole. Neighbor waiting at the front door so I can open the doors for him, won't touch doorknobs. All of the people in these situations were not wearing masks. It is logical for people to risk their literal lives, but not want to get "cooties"? It's nonsense.
