@rorysutherland Citrus impact on history is significant . There’s shaddocks, radiated (!) Ruby red grapefruits, invisible ink, the invention of (arrack) punch to keep sailors alcoholised on long journeys to and from the East Indies during which beer, wine and even water would spoil…

I suspect most people - and even Irish ones, although I don’t know how the topic is taught in the current curriculum - don’t know that Ireland remained a net exporter of food during the recurring famines between 1845 and 1852, as millions of Irish people starved to death.
John Crotty@itsjohncrotty
Ireland had the food to feed Britain and Ireland combined The British Administration refused to feed the Irish with the food produced in their land, unwilling to see the economy suffer Laissez-faire policies that would see people in jail today Despite Daniel O’Connells warning and plea that ‘1/4 will perish’, they did not stop exports as had been done in previous famines It had nothing to do with scarcity of food… it was scarcity of morals and decency

@whiskycast @UncleNearest This case is Enron cross-bred with the delusion that you can shape reality by flat-out denying/lying on social media. Sign o’the times…

Forget what you may have read about @UncleNearest being in bankruptcy...the judge tossed Fawn Weaver's Chapter 11 petition today because only the receiver can file for bankruptcy...

There should be an hour a day where CVS and Walgreens leave everything unlocked. Like the Purge but for shopping like a normal person

My wife just said: "We would have less arguments if you weren't so pedantic."
I said: "It's 'fewer' arguments".

Finally AI creates beautiful, moving art, indistinguishable from that of the greatest master.

AI just made Simon & Garfunkel harmonize “Baby Got Back.” Folk guitar. Paul Simon singing Nothing beats the golden age… Two greatest American hits from different generations.

It must be chaos in Dubai right now, but @emirates refunded my flight within 48 hours, in full, no quibbles. I’ll continue to fly with them every chance I get.

Fun fact: To keep production costs low, many Star Trek scenes were actually filmed on Earth rather than on location in outer space.

If you are a kind and optimistic person, I urge you to attempt to give away perfectly fine and lightly used furniture for free on Facebook Marketplace. This simple exercise will cure you of your foolish regard for other people.
