    Unrelated, but what is the origin of this image? I feel like I’ve seen it often over the years and don’t know where it came from originally.

    I recognise the grandstand from the Marylebone Cricket Club, but they tore down the rest of the stadium. I guess that’s a good thing?

    this would also be society if counterclockwise and clockwise were swapped. it’s the universal way to talk about 2d rotations but pretty much nothing (except a clock) ends up turning clockwise. it didn’t have to be this way

      You can get a clock that is set up counter clockwise to mess with people
