1. The European Parliament’s attempt to ban plant-based foods from being sold as “sausages”, “burgers” etc is a direct response to livestock industry lobbying. This is a short thread on how utterly bleeding ridiculous it is. 🧵1/6

Speaking of Skarsgards, I enjoyed himself and Stellan making back-to-back appearances on Colbert, and Alex giving out because Stellan wanted HIM to get the special pickles from NY, so that Stellan wouldn't have to check a bag on the flight.

Pillion won best British independent film at the BIFA awards, and I’m obsessed with this photo of Alexander Skarsgård with his hand down Harry Melling’s shirt 👀

Why does everything to do with Christmas have to be pointy and jaggy for every other thing to do with Christmas to get fucking caught on and jammed in when you're trying to get it out of the box? At least Easter is mostly circles.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

This is a really nice piece in Hot Press about how we're differently to other businesses and why. It'd be great if you could read and share. My perhaps naive hope is that a big business might see it and copy us. It works. #speirgorm www.hotpress.com/lifestyle-sp...

Your annual reminder that the most revealing difference between Irish and Scottish Gaelic is definitely in the words for December: Mí na Nollag (Month of Christmas) in Ireland, and An Dubhlachd (the Blackness) in Scotland. So once again may I wish you all a lovely Blackness.

There’s a lot of bad stuff you can say about the Middle Ages, but at least I wouldn’t have to know about Grimes or Bryan Johnson.

Every time SRK starts romancing an initially hesitant woman, one of those onscreen warnings should appear. “Professional driver on a closed course. Do not attempt.”
