Amazing reporting from Tom Witherow: he tracked down the person who started the rumours that started these riots. She's a mother of three in her fifties who lives in a £1.5m house in Cheshire: https://t.co/x2nGB5AFQR

Shakshuka is one of the easiest, most beautiful meals you can make at home. It’s made up of eggs poached in a spiced tomato sauce and is so delicious.

In this thread I’ll show you how to make it.

I have to share this again: “Koalas are fucking horrible animals. They have one of the smallest brain to body ratios of any mammal, additionally - their brains are smooth. A brain is folded to increase the surface area for neurons. If you present a koala with leaves plucked from a branch, laid on a flat surface, the koala will not recognise it as food. They are too thick to adapt their feeding behaviour to cope with change. In a room full of potential food, they can literally starve to death. This is not the token of an animal that is winning at life. Speaking of stupidity and food, one of the likely reasons for their primitive brains is the fact that additionally to being poisonous, eucalyptus leaves (the only thing they eat) have almost no nutritional value. They can't afford the extra energy to think, they sleep more than 80% of their fucking lives. When they are awake all they do is eat, shit and occasionally scream like fucking satan. Because eucalyptus leaves hold such little nutritional value, koalas have to ferment the leaves in their guts for days on end. Unlike their brains, they have the largest hind gut to body ratio of any mammal. Many herbivorous mammals have adaptations to cope with harsh plant life taking its toll on their teeth, rodents for instance have teeth that never stop growing, some animals only have teeth on their lower jaw, grinding plant matter on bony plates in the tops of their mouths, others have enlarged molars that distribute the wear and break down plant matter more efficiently... Koalas are no exception, when their teeth erode down to nothing, they resolve the situation by starving to death, because they're fucking terrible animals. Being mammals, koalas raise their joeys on milk (admittedly, one of the lowest milk yields to body ratio... There's a trend here). When the young joey needs to transition from rich, nourishing substances like milk, to eucalyptus (a plant that seems to be making it abundantly clear that it doesn't want to be eaten), it finds it does not have the necessary gut flora to digest the leaves. To remedy this, the young joey begins nuzzling its mother's anus until she leaks a little diarrhoea (actually fecal pap, slightly less digested), which he then proceeds to slurp on. This partially digested plant matter gives him just what he needs to start developing his digestive system. Of course, he may not even have needed to bother nuzzling his mother. She may have been suffering from incontinence. Why? Because koalas are riddled with chlamydia. In some areas the infection rate is 80% or higher. This statistic isn't helped by the fact that one of the few other activities koalas will spend their precious energy on is rape. Despite being seasonal breeders, males seem to either not know or care, and will simply overpower a female regardless of whether she is ovulating. If she fights back, he may drag them both out of the tree, which brings us full circle back to the brain: Koalas have a higher than average quantity of cerebrospinal fluid in their brains. This is to protect their brains from injury... should they fall from a tree. An animal so thick it has its own little built in special ed helmet. I fucking hate them.”

I just hiked for 9 grueling days to Mt Everest.

I’m a desk jockey business owner with no prior hiking experience and only trained for 3 weeks.

If Everest Basecamp has ever been on your bucket list, bookmark this thread.

Jamaica Giants is a venue featuring a private collection of Jamaican art. It's way up in the hills of Westmoreland so off the beaten track, in the middle of nowhere. I'm only aware of it because it's near some family land.

Actually a couple of people I know that live alone own their homes BUT they lived at home long enough to be able to afford the deposit.

[Sig @sigourneyy]

When I think of my friends and age mates none of them live at home but all of them live with someone. I think that’s the difference unless you have a partner or a lodger I don’t know anyone that is actually living alone because it’s so expensive. @mrjamesob

@GraceMothering @JuliaJuliagulia All Yotos since 2021 are affected, the recall is voluntary but if you want to keep them you can just order new wires on the website. The software has all been updated remotely.

This is where Jesus is said to have been buried — and then resurrected.

But is it the real tomb? How do we know?

Well, in 2016 it was opened for the first time in centuries... (thread) 🧵

[Sig @sigourneyy]

We luckily ordered one in November & at 15% off 🥳 such a fantastic product I feel for everyone that can not get one for their kid. I also find it interesting how on insta Yoto have just stopped sharing Yoto Mini’s… smart move to not keep pissing everyone off that can’t get one

[Sig @sigourneyy]

I find it really interesting the the Yoto Mini has been sold out worldwide since pre Christmas and that the due back date has been pushed back every month since then and Yoto are now just saying 2024 at some point not a particular month.

[Sig @sigourneyy]

Imagine you make a product that doesn’t really have a rival, it’s good, really good and then you run out prior to Christmas and can’t restock 💀 it’s April pretty much. I’m just waiting for a competitor to come out with one.
