However they did give me sweet popcorn instead of salty popcorn and I only noticed when it was too late and I didn’t want to lose any movie time but I will have my revenge, sweet popcorn is for children

God if the outcome of all this is a discovery that a specific type of black mold makes you a weird bigot I'm gonna have a hearty chuckle then fill my pockets with stones and walk into a lake. We are now living in the mold age. The mildew years. The roaring fungis.

Suuuure it's the "molds" fault. Whats next, a very specific strain of mold that turns children's book authors into raging terfs?

Loads of concerning behaviours imo, not to diagnose someone I don’t know but if you’re trying to influence people it’s dodgy!

My other piping hot take is that a lot of men in the fitness and health food space have what are basically eating disorders that if women were displaying similar behaviours (and rightly so probably!) would have people concerned but they are given a pass for male authority figure reasons

Also had a mildly concerning crash out about eating biscuits after cutting out sugar which doesn’t scream a healthy relationship with food but who can say

“This protein bar could kill you” okay why did you make it then, put it in the bin, they already sell normal protein bars

The thing about the Joe Wicks protein bar is like yes if you purposefully put 100 bad ingredients into something it will be bad. It feels like me inventing cyanide gummies and being like wow they look me do this, what a world but the reality is we don’t sell cyanide gummies

A thread of some of my bookmarked tweets. This will be updated with no real regular pattern but it *will* be updated

A cartoon entitled ‘The Land Before Time’. One dinosaur asks a second ‘did it take a long time to put that bow tie on?’. The second dinosaur, wearing a bow tie, replies ‘did it take a long what?’

No, it's not. It's all a lie. The blunt truth is across the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them.

Iain Mansfield @igmansfield.bsky.social · 2d

Outstanding piece by Stephen Daisley.

Ethnicity is no barrier to Britishness - it's culture and integration.

That means 'smaller cohorts and aggressive integration policies' - and tackling the institutions that 'have amplified grievance narratives and radical anti-Western ideologies'.
