Just wait for a Steam sale, like a normal person.

One of Trump's more niche un-American traits is his stated dislike for art deco - the most American of architecture styles, and so successful that Stalin had copied it wholesale for his capital.

Much-maligned Victorian factory owners used to build housing for their workers.

Maybe. We didn't have 'sriracha shortage' here, so a bottle of Flying Goose costs at most $4 - and other brands and off-brands are cheaper still.

It's 21st october, in the ungodly US notation

It's virtually impossible to make a sauce like sriracha cheaper than store-bought unless you grow all the ingredients yourself (and don't value your labour time)

Yeah but if we're in the realms of fantasy already, they should check against a supposed right/far-right opposition coalition which seems to have a slight edge here

The Marks&Spencer so-called 'garlic & coriander' naan is the blandest, most flavourless naan I've ever eaten. It made me think I had covid again. It's like a Goodness Gracious Me sketch come to life. Truly an epitome of white middle class cuisine.

James Calbraith @jamescalbraith.co.uk · 17h

No, it was just smaller.

James Calbraith @jamescalbraith.co.uk · 17h

It won't.

They should have put a Confederate general statue on top of the East Wing.

Garlic is seasoning, not vegetable. You wouldn't eat a garlic salad.

Tourists often complain there's little to do at Edinburgh Castle, I think a 'throw tomato at a nonce' attraction would greatly increase its potential.

Really feels like what grants Trump all the immunity from scrutiny is that most of the media still treat him as an entertainment celebrity rather than a politician.

James Calbraith @jamescalbraith.co.uk · 1d

Isn't the East Wing traditionally the office of the First Lady?

I mean, they'll still do it, but the bricks will be fake.

This is straight-up Nazis in Warsaw behaviour.

“.. they are just grabbing people, putting them in cuffs,” said Kaden Cummings, 23, who witnessed the arrests. “Nobody’s identifying themselves .. There’s no due process .. It’s just straight to the back of a van if you’re African on Canal.”
