So, I only buy Tupperware from one IKEA range that stacks. Nothing else. Both the lids and the tubs stack. I have round and rectangular: two stacks of tubs with the lids underneath. For each shape I have some deep and some shallow. www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/ikea... www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/ikea...

Okay so. I can give you my advice if you would like to hear it? I have quite strong views on Tupperware management.

My husband said yesterday 'I'm looking at something you will like' and I said 'is it cake?' and it was. So I'd probably be eating cake.

the story about the ULEZ bomber, a white bloke in his 60s, still isn’t on the front page of the BBC News when it feels like quite a big story about online radicalisation & violence

Saying an event "seemed" to pass off peacefully, without knowing that it did, is an editorial choice, not a reporting of news. It is something that does not to be said.

#GBBO Ep1: 1. Nigella makes Paul seem completely irrelevant 2. Seems outrageous that unless she requested it, there have been no adaptations to the bench for Molly. She was whisking bowls of mixture balanced on her lap, dropped her cake out the oven & had to reach above head height to operate mixer!

It is quite striking if Meta thinks it has the tech + the policy + the will to ban/filter out feminism (but not misogyny, obvs). It sounds like there may be an analogous ban on antiracism (but not racism). www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I just think that risking your life at a moment's notice to save people you've never met in exchange for no money is a better expression of patriotism than dressing up like a Poundshop paramilitary and intimidating families with kids trying to get onto a ferry.

Extreme right-wing protesters are in a stand-off with the RNLI in Portsmouth. The group, led by Danny Tommo, are waist-deep in the sea and threatening to go "under the water" if police try to arrest them. Six lifeboats monitoring. Volunteer rescuers giving up their evening for this.

I think this seems to be true of various kinds of extremism. The exposé of the 'freebirthing' movement showed that its 'leaders' were profiting from propagating 'teachings' that have been fatal to women and babies.

An important feature of the modern far right is that it is extremely lucrative for a few of its leaders, who are able to get rich quickly riding the wave of discontent. It's a grifter's paradise.

The other car factor is that there are more cars on the road and that makes parents less likely to allow/want their kids playing out in the streets because it is more dangerous than it used to be!

It’s important to be clear that the truth value of a subject does not become debatable just because somebody wants to debate. Ether. Wandering wombs. Devils in red heads, the cursed left handed. Flat earth. Phrenology. Humors. Race science. “Debate me bro!” It’s fine for the answer to be: no.

Right now, algorithms serve people misogynistic and far right content without looking for it, leading them down hateful paths they would otherwise never have encountered AND there are no basically repercussions for individuals sharing factually inaccurate or hateful things to millions of people.

Eden @edenvb.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
Fwiw my (un-expert!) thoughts err against allowing companies to decide what is or isn't ideologically appropriate to post, but there should be controls on algorithmic promotion (only see content you've chosen to follow not been fed) & regulation of highly followed accounts basically as broadcasters.
