@skinnylatte mandolines are treacherous!

@skinnylatte you are very thoughtful about food and eating though and I love it. I will now start following this guy as well!

@skinnylatte you've just reminded me of the can of fried dace in my pantry so that is lunch SORTED

This is fucking bleak on Spotify:

'The [former Spotify] employee explained that, "the vast majority of music listeners, they're not really interested in listening to music per se. They just need a soundtrack to a moment in their day."'

Music changed as a response to this:

'Songs got shorter, albums got longer, and intros went away. The hook got pushed to the front of the song to try to grab listeners' attention immediately, and things like guitar solos all but disappeared from pop music. The palette of sounds artists pulled from got smaller, arrangements became more simplified, pop music flattened.'

@skinnylatte may I ask, how long do you fry the Mae Ploy paste before adding coconut milk? I find it extremely fiery no matter how little I put in my curry — it never seems to mellow, and I am inclined to suspect user error.

@skinnylatte OH SAME. I am guessing you're familiar with the Thai cave rescue. I get chills thinking about what could have happened if any of those kidlets had come out of sedation at a tricky point in the dive.

@skinnylatte wait it's called pasticho? Do you think it might be related to the Greek and Cypriot dish pastitsio? Usually made with a bottom layer of penne and a ragu with a prominent cinnamon note.

This is AMAZING. One for my weeb frens.

(*cough* I'm def not a weeb myself *cough*)

@skinnylatte How much longer til your immigration status will make it safe for you to leave the country, Adrianna? This is really hard for someone as well-travelled as you are and I feel for you.

You've just found out you're going to prison for five years, and your wife looks like this:

@sendai SALTY FISH FRIED RICE IS LIFE. I cannot be swayed from this opinion. My local Chinese resto growing up was owned by Teochiu migrants from Cambodia and that was their signature dish, always served with a squeeze of lemon; I had no idea at the time how lucky we were.

Devastating news about Meanjin.

thanks @millsjenjen for sharing this update.

Here's a press release on Mitch Brown, the ex-AFL player who just came out as bisexual

Openly queer AFL player!!!

Tell you what, I really appreciate the Gen Y content creators doing retrospectives on the absolute body fascism that ruled 00s popular culture — particularly the way Britney, Jessica Simpson, Beyoncé were all coded as 'plus sized' and openly questioned by entertainment 'journalists' about their 'weight issues' and how they dared to exist as women with curves. Remember that bizarre moment where everyone was talking about 'muffin tops,' i.e. the normal shape a body makes when you put jeans on? *smdh*

Hey would anyone in Sydney like a free ticket to Won Kar-Wai's masterpiece In the Mood for Love at Golden Age cinema in Surry Hills THIS WED 8.10pm??

DM me and it's yours. This wally booked to see the same film on 2x nights instead of the two films they wanted.

@skinnylatte Adrianna is there NOTHING you are not capable of? 🤩

You gotta keep 'em innovatin'

You know that incredible m/v for Anxiety by Doechii? It references STIUTK by Gotye feat Kimbra not once but twice...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riCP9x31Kuk

The first is the obvious presence of Gotye and Kimbra lookalikes in body paint:

The second less obvious reference is the dancing crowd outside:
