And even the people who know what Rogue is still argue about it.

Like how Nadiya mentions baking wasn't a thing for *her* family culture. (It isn't in mine either. Also the desserts-as-part-of-meal thing, same on that. In fact there are so many food things that seem to be shared across various non-European cultures that I wonder if it isn't the Europeans who are the odd ones out.)

I am a person who can spend an entire workweek making dinners entirely out of the microwave and *occasionally* the toaster-oven. I don't own many basics such as flour, sugar, olive oil, etc., let alone Spices and Herbs. (Just salt and sesame, which can go on almost everything.) I basically assume that anything that…

Twitch broadcaster Kelly Link is, as I have now found out, no relation to horror/"New Weird" writer Kelly Link.

I went for "sound guessing" on the first one, but I think the second one didn't show him rattling it or anything? Because by the second one I assumed it was a memory exercise.

I enjoy Sherlock himself perfectly fine, but I would give… something suitably fairytalesque… for a well-written Moriarty-and-Joan show.

There was also that whole thing about "I have no friends because I'm stuck in the house". What is this, 1992? There are *bedbound* people being writers and activists online with strong social circles.

I figured he'd heard them going at it and did it deliberately, personally.

I don't see how "people can be really horribly shitty to one another and not be swayed just because you're nice to them" == "apocalyptic vision of the future". But thanks for dismissing folks' legitimate fears as wild fantasy, I guess.

I am! Or at least, not an anti-fan. He makes it work.

Happily, it has not yet gotten to Sleepy Hollow levels of self-sabotaging disaster — knock on wood.

Well, propaganda implies that this would somehow be persuasive to people. To whom exactly? The majority who don't care about politics and just want the economy to be okay? The pro-independence folks who want a separate Taiwanese identity, which has nothing to do with ancient Chinese history? The recently immigrated…

It's just that the excuse of "oh it'll be such great propaganda" is kind of complete bullshit. As a Taiwanese person I was torn between laughter and frustrated headdesk. I suppose it could have been worse.

Literally blasphemy. SHUN.

I can't seem to find any information on *which* theatres it means.

Sometimes it ain't about the money.

TBH I think the fanciful-sounding names of a lot of Redwall feast-foods already give them a certain edge, not to mention that first exposure to Redwall is typically as a child — compare "Dornish/Arbor red" to "dandelion cordial", or "deeper'n'ever pie" to… whatever kind of pie it was that Joffrey choked on, see, I…

No mention of Wakakozake? Same kind of thing, started from a comic as well, had a brief stint as a series of animated ultra-shorts before going to a more extended live-action sequence. Real restaurants with actors in (although I believe the actual chefs occasionally appear as well — or at least their hands, in the…

If you buy your shoes pre-doodled, where are you supposed to fit your own doodles…?

I used to do that. Then my stomach went on strike, so now the use of bacon grease (and consumption of bacon itself) is very limited in my life, alas.
