Mildly interesting:
Reading an old Tennyson poem from the early 1800s and he refers casually to the known use of bay leaves to add piquancy to custard. I'd never heard of this, but apparently it was once quite common. Seems like the rare dish where bay could shine.

The White House was forced to react to South Park as Trump completely loses it with rage, calling the show “not relevant” and "hanging on by a thread," despite the show recently securing a $1.5 billion deal.
Trump is considering suing over ‘tiny penis’ allegations.

This is genius level work by Ned and Wayne showcasing the power of comics to tell a story and educate. When I teach comics [Sequential Narrative] my presentation also starts with the Lascaux Caves and includes Egyptian hieroglyphics and the Bayeux Tapestry. Even safety cards on a plane are comics!
One my favourite Bananaman comics I’ve ever done is a time travel story where the art style matched the era. Wayne Thompson’s art is so lovely in this.
