@dannybate.bsky.social Hello Dr! Have you ever thought of doing Griko? The Greek dialect that is spoken only in the area around Lecce/Salento? Or the general Greco-Italian languages/dialects in the whole of south Italy and Sicily? (is there any juicy interesting things basically there to unearth?)

What about gay? Where’s the gay voice in all of this? It’s all been erased, forgotten, lost to AIDS or thrown out. I’ve literally been working on this for 16 years trying to amplify this underground gay music scene. - Josh Cheon interviewed by the Guardian www.theguardian.com/music/2026/f...

Would love to talk to some wine folks with skin in the game about how bulk wine is faring if anyone has the time? There's a few bits I want to clarify/understand.

How unexpected.

not sure what's more embarrassing, the sentiment or the musc 😭😂

I do not understand corporate procurement policies which ask me to think about if it was my own money. I would never procure external legal counsel or enterprise software with my own money this is a nonsense question.

Have long held the view that all foodstuffs containing cinnamon ought to be legally obliged to disclose this fact prominently. Am extending this to herbal teas. It's like a fucking plague. The fifth column of flavour.

For all the discussion of doxxing federal agents, there’s essentially no discussion of how those agents are taking steps that attach severe punitive measures that stretch across wide swaths of the federal bureaucracy against people acting lawfully.

A Green victory in the Gorton and Denton by-election would feel like divine justice.

My 7yo daughter’s best friends’ family fled the country a few weeks ago. Today she came home with a drawing of her and another friend blowing whistles at ICE agents. “We’re blowing the whistles and so ICE will go away and our friends can come back,” she said. I started sobbing uncontrollably.

My newest series is called Let’s be honest Episode 1: American wine folks When was the last time that you purchased a wine from Washington state, for yourself or for a program you are running. No WA or OR residents need respond. Let’s be honest

nice argument, unfortunately I have already depicted myself as a squared-up Ilhan Omar and you as a collapsing sewer ogre

Guys. It snowed last night and now it’s sunny. Behold the Bricco Appiani from Falvio Roddolo’s front yard.

Dollar store Himmler goes.

I don’t think a Clickhole bit has ever gotten me as much as this one:

I think at this point the UK has accepted Paddington as the Death Bear, collector of souls. So, I think as a nation we should start smearing marmalade on the eyes of the dead and whisper “fare for the crossing”. It’ll feel weird now but, in three of four generations, no one will question it.

It takes too many clicks to get to the tube map in the TFL website. It should be on the landing page.

@theguardian.com hiya, could you please explain why you thought a friendly q&a with serial rapist Russell Brand’s baptiser was deemed a good thing?

They had the audacity to claim Bluesky didn't have the juice, but not since peak Twitter have I logged off for an evening and come back to my entire feed speaking in a new language of rapid-fire in-jokes that I have to reverse-engineer to figure out what's happening. That, my friends, is The Juice.

The fact that I recognize all these socks must mean our washing machines are linked via interdimensional portal.

Have created a half-way house for socks to live in until they're reunited with their life partners.

Have just found a reference to ' schienali, strips of spinal cord dipped in egg and flour and deep fried' in an essay on food from Genoa in Dickens' time. Can locate nothing else on this...

In the year of our lord two thousand and twenty six my father has just discovered Yum Cha via Rick Stein in Australia. Blessed we are for the works of the disciples.

I regret to inform you all, I've just remembered the worst portmanteau neologism of the last 30 years. Gastronaut. I'm sorry.

The holy of holies!

I just love love love anything that Adam investigates and writes about! What a dude

OK. I'm in a Kensington Pub and the chat at the table opposite me is phenomenal. Massive blow hard.
