Two things I can’t eat/drink combined so I can avoid both at once. Perfect.

Barb @barblahblah.bsky.social · 2d

No, but it’s good to know that watching Wales lose 3-0 to England was better than SOMETHING, at least.

One day soon, all crisps will be plastic and all plastic made from recycled potato

Barb @barblahblah.bsky.social · 3d

They’re so good. Love the outfits too - just the right amount of reference to the characters, done in a stylish way.

Barb @barblahblah.bsky.social · 3d

That too, but I’d at least expect genuine potato for that price

Barb @barblahblah.bsky.social · 3d

I don’t think I want my crisps to be 25% plastic

Crisp packet says ‘now with 25% recycled plastic’

I have seen them in supermarkets and they just seem kinda… soggy?

Barb @barblahblah.bsky.social · 3d

Runs screaming from thread

Barb @barblahblah.bsky.social · 4d

I’d sue

Barb @barblahblah.bsky.social · 4d

Good grief it’s spreading

I do not mock @dougsloane.bsky.social But he has been sold an abomination

Barb @barblahblah.bsky.social · 4d

I mean. A plastic bag!

Barb @barblahblah.bsky.social · 4d

Wholemeal! High fibre! What a world.

Barb @barblahblah.bsky.social · 4d

Well. Where even to start. Wholemeal?? In a BAG? Deli - that’s suspiciously New York style inauthentic hoop shaped bread. Those, sir, are not proper bagels in any way other than shape.

Proper bagels/beigels are also shit. But for a whole different set of reasons.

Barb @barblahblah.bsky.social · 4d

What type of bagel (beigel) are we talking here? Because I need to know which of the two types of shit we’re specifically dissing prior to launch?

Barb @barblahblah.bsky.social · 4d

If they toured I’d be trying for tickets

KPop Demon Hunters is a brilliant film, but it’s also lovely seeing its voice actors, songwriters, and singers become stars after years of struggling in the industry

It’s pretty bonkers this is not a real band, and EJAE (lead vocals) hadn’t performed in a decade until this

Emma Forrest wrote a seminal Jewish novel—and was quietly ghosted for it

The British author discusses the muted reaction to her Jewish work and the Manchester attack on Yom Kippur.

Best served with cheese cubes on the end of the spines?

Barb @barblahblah.bsky.social · 7d

Hopefully not for long

Is O’Neill injured?

Weird that google and other tech firms keep telling me robots should run everything, while repeatedly insisting that I prove I’m not one

I really really dislike "right side of history" as an expression. Like history has a final season. "We had a big meeting and decided you were right all along."

Barb @barblahblah.bsky.social · 8d

And like anyone in the future is going to give a shit what most of us think anyway.

Barb @barblahblah.bsky.social · 9d

Career denialist still hiring himself out. Grim.

Barb @barblahblah.bsky.social · 9d

Oh good grief. That is truly awful. Of all fucking people.
