Wow, that flew under the radar. An entire city that has solved poverty, crime, health issues and homelessness to the extent they can spend time and money on this performative bullshit.

- Comment on [Video] American militants stealing gold during their 2003 invasion of Iraq 1 week ago:
Yeah. It’s bullshit is what it is. So the day before the US reached Baghdad, Saddam’s son took almost $1bn out of the central bank in cash.
When the battle was over, the US auditors found that in addition to this heist, the bank had been broken by looters. They decided to remove some of the money to a more secure location.
- Comment on So why are Indian curries so popular in the UK? (interest in culinary perspectives). 1 week ago:
They aren’t. “Indian curries” are a British invention, where in the C17th onward a vast collection of dishes from disparate and very regionalised cuisines were conflated together by those in the Raj as “curries”.
These curries were adapted and created for British tastes, and were not eaten by the native populace. When men and later families came back to Britain from postings in the Raj they brought this new cuisine with them, and sometimes their cooks.
Commercial Anglo-Indian cuisine appears from the 1920s, and with the end of the colony and the partition came a wave of immigrants from Pakistan, who opened up more establishments.
The boom began with Bangladeshi refugees arriving in the 1970s, about the time when working classes were looking beyond fish and chips for “eating out”. Here British Indian Restaurant cuisine was formed, a highly modular style of cooking which allows a great degree of customisation by the customer and an economic use of ingredients.

John doesn’t even owe a private apology, yet he has made one. His attendance was solely on the understanding that as his biopic was nominated, he would be in an understanding environment. BAFTA failed him, and if they didn’t brief those on stage adequately they failed them too.

Fair play. At least some good came of this.
