Incidentally, I saw this the other day (Caffe Lucca in Halifax, Nova Scotia) and I now want to go and buy a coffee there.

Caffe Lucca in Nova Scotia with a genius analogue pisstake of an AI advert, with everything written on cardboard in marker pen, and several staff members' hands coming in with cups from out of the frame.

Silk thread goes in yellow green, comes out blue. The color only appears once it hits the air, a chemical trick artisans have used for 6,000 years.

And here again is my favourite ever Batman poem...

Batman’s aff his nut
Have you seen the way he cuts aboot
Dressed up as a mad fuckin bat
Batterin guys
I was lit at:
“Mate, I’m worried aboot ye
I know your ma and da died
But everybody’s ma and da dies
And we’re no aw runnin aboot
Hookin muggers and
Kickin psychopaths in the baws.”
And that was when Batman went
“Aye, but do ye ever feel like it?
Do you ever look at the world and feel like it?
Like having a big mad base under your hoose?
Do you ever feel like drivin a big mad motor
that turns intae a tank?
And leatherin fuck oot of guys aw night?
Scarin the fuckin shite oot of them?”
And that’s when I was lit at:
“Aye. Fuck it. Ah dae.”
And that’s the Secret Origin of Robin
And everyone else.

A wise person on Twitter once said "I don't know what gluten's like but going by this gluten-free bread it must be fucking delicious", and judging by this stuff, the same may be true of palm oil.

A jar of Whole Earth "100% Nuts" peanut butter. It settles out into an unpleasant sludge layer and an unpleasant oil layer, so that you have to stir in any surface contaminants every time you eat some, making it worrisome from a food safety point of view if you don't plan to eat the lot in a couple of days.

In a book I'm reading, the protagonist has just gone into a café for a pot of decent tea accompanied by some good quality bread and butter, and there should be more cheap places where this is a normal thing to do.

Run out of the good spaghetti, so I'm probably going to Pasta Hell for this.

Half a portion of long spaghetti on the kitchen scales, along with half a portion of short spaghetti.
Pretty sure there's a verse in Leviticus expressly prohibiting this.

For those in England & Wales who don’t get them on the NHS: private flu & covid jabs are available from today. I’ve just had both at my local pharmacy. £115 for the pair. Yes, that’s expensive, but if you’re a freelancer & don’t get sick pay it’s probably a lot cheaper than taking time off.
