I made the mistake of jokingly pronouncing LGBT as "el jibbity" and I guess that's just how I say it now

Humanity has historically eaten 6,000 plants; now we eat mostly NINE: This is a great (scary) story from Bloomberg on how global diets have converged on a few crops in a few decades – with many alarming implications. Well told (super smart graphics!) #food #climate

‘Andrew Tate’s fans seem to admire and envy his image as a successful, fit, self-made man with an extravagant lifestyle. His crimes demonstrate, yet again, that sexism is not only a cultural issue but an economic one too.’

@BethanyBlack I'm not usually anal about kitchen implements, but I have a "sweet" wooden spoon and chopping board, and a "garlic, onion and chilli" wooden spoon and chopping board and it has honestly revolutionised my life.

@xtaldave I have to confess I clicked through to read "Essex gimp says the Somerset gimp is giving gimps a bad name", and have now read the word "gimp" so many times it no longer looks like a real word to me
