The Dutch have those too. They look like they have some sort of pus-filled infection.

I think Pat gave George that character reference out of empathy for Emma (Emmapathy?) because she knows how hard it is to see your child in prison. Not out of any liking for George himself. #TheArchers

I certainly don't think anyone outside the family will show up to the welcome home party, and Brad will be the only one who's not immediate family. Amber is going to be mortified. #TheArchers

There was certainly something recently which monopolised all public debate and paralysed all policy initiative in the UK for the better part of a decade, and I dont think it was trans rights.

"While Britain was redefining what a woman is, China was building five nuclear reactors," says Kemi Badenoch.

I cannot be the only person curious about how these two things are related

you also have the laganum, which is (at some points) a pancake-ish kinda dough snack. slather on a "salsa" of garlic, onions, olives, and vinegar. pile on some roasted lamb or pork and caramelized onions, with some parsley or cilantro. chickpeas sub for beans. artichoke hearts, too

It took a highly sophisticated Jacquard weave to create the incredibly detailed oranges that form the fabric of of this early 1890s dress. You can almost smell the citrusy peel. There so many details to observe here, the pattern matching, the cuff trim, the drama! #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Everyone knows that sulpha drugs and penicillin were game-changing in WW2, but lots of people get very upset when they find out *why*

Personally I don't even need to go back to medieval times for that one. At any time before World War II, I would have died very young from scarlet fever.

Unpopular opinion: part of the appeal of things like Doordash is "having servants but you don't have to remember their names or make eye contact"

There's always a baked in assumption that they'll get to be the served, not the servant.

The subtext of ‘we should be more like Dubai’, beyond the obvious racism, is ‘I should have a servant’.

You did right by her, all the way to the end. You gave her a great life and you didn't let her suffer, and the last thing she knew in this world was your love.

Oh, it's obvious. They can't read French and only know the bits of France that are nice for holidays.

Some grave guardians are open to being stroked. Some will growl if your hand reaches towards them. It is wise to know which are which before one goes poking at tombs. – #CLNolan
