Fabulous figs, frightening foie gras, flattering liars! An ancient food thread that has it all; (If you're sensitive to animal cruelty, then be forewarned!)
In the name of Hades, what do you mean Thomas? What connects these seemingly very different things -namely figs and liver- together?

As usual, the hoard has been broken up - the coins are all being sold off individually too after the finder and landowner have taken one each... it's a frigging disgrace.

Pretending the rise of the far right and the focus on issues such as immigration or trans people comes from the "legitimate concerns" of "the people" is not just factually wrong, it's a deeply political point
Refusing to see this as primarily top down processes is to protect the status quo

The only thing worse than comically misrepresenting everything we say in absentia, just to make his xenophobic 70s points - the plural is charitable, really, it’s the same point every time - is when he used to *include* us in his long inane threads and demand our congratulations.
