This is probably one of the most stupid and nonsensical decisions this government has taken (and this is not an intelligent government, to put it midly).

Looking forward to next weekend's Portals Festival (sadly the last 😢), and one of the bands I'm looking forward to most is #Oavette 👌

@akosma well, I have no interest in Eurovision so don't even know what this is in response to, but I just happen to be Swiss, and Fondue is always a mixture of cheeses. There's lots of variations of course, but both Gruyere and Emmental are quite common in that mix... 😊

Weekend 🐈

@skinnylatte never had bitter melon in a Chinese dish, but love the Okinawan classic Goya Chanpuru. Tried some Indian recipes with it too, but didn't like those as much, as too bitter for my taste (they don't seem to remove the seeds and spongy bits in the middle)

New #VELTPUNCH track is 🔥

TIL that 探す and 捜す both read さがす and both mean "to search", but 探すmeans searching for something you want, and 捜す means searching for something you lost. 🤯

What do you mean, too small? I'm all good, thanks. 😹

It's true, the UK is rapidly becoming an 'island of strangers' to me - but it's not because of immigration, but because it is a country that, led by people like Starmer, is losing all sense of decency and compassion.

It's also quite good for Japanese language learning, as the father is working as a dictionary writer. And it's mostly set in 二子玉川, a Tokyo neighbourhood I didn't know until I went there last month for a meal with a coworker 😊

持続可能な恋ですか (Is love sustainable? on Netflix) was totally wonderful and heartwarming.

Tonight might have been the first time I went to a gig without knowing the artist, solely because my daughter said she thought I'd love it (she saw him in Manchester a week ago).
And she wasn't wrong - Alabaster DePlume was amazing (and disarmingly honest) at Hackney Church tonight ❤️

@tagesschau das funktionierte alles perfekt, bis Musk und DOGE das System "effizienter" gemacht haben 🤣

Fantastic new track from ue - Japanese instrumental riffy math rock #MathRock #マスロック
