@FakeRobotGamer Burn everything.

@kara @KitRedgrave This was/is the UK, where there are three parties by default and the Greens are together enough to have an MP these days.

@KitRedgrave @kara They were definitely the most popular speaker, even before they went on to tell us about cold-water rebirth. (And in fairness, it was the 80s. The Greens over here have improved a lot since then.)

@KitRedgrave @kara (And by “heard” I mean “as part of a talk delivered to a school auditorium full of very straight middle-class seventeen year olds”. My school thought it would be educational to invite the reps from the local political parties to speak, and this was who the Greens sent.)

@kara @KitRedgrave And did we notice uranium, neptunium, and plutonium are named after planets? It’s astrological homeopathy!

@KitRedgrave I once heard a hippy explain that nuclear power plant leaks were actually the Gaean planetary consciousness trying to fix human greed with homeopathic doses of transuranic elements.

@lauraritchie Aw, thank you.

Simnel cake. It’s a good thing I’m on strike today, because I started making the bloody thing five literal hours ago.

@Vann I’m holding out for the off-brand cardboard with not-Mario and not-pikachu prints myself.

@Vann I think they were talking about providing print-and-cut templates for that? Though that doesn’t rule out Official Nintendo Cardboard as well, of course.

@cassolotl Might need to open a window in the kitchen - the chemical smell will get worse while it’s burning off.

@cassolotl It should burn off in time, though you might want to be careful what you cook in there until it does. You could try running the oven at a higher setting than you normally use for half an hour or an hour to burn the worst off.

@Maenad Theory: you look flushed and/or slightly out of it because you’re ill.

*liberalism intensifies*

@fruchtblase Roman-style prayers to the Underworld, written on lead and buried. And particularly the ones from Bath, where the custom was to dedicate stolen items to the local goddess and leave it to her to avenge the theft.

@imani Still extremely relevant, apparently: https://www.ejumpcut.org/archive/jc54.2012/SolesKunyoGeedom/
