@benandjerriesuk.bsky.social I know I ask this every year but why can’t you make “Minter Wonderland” available all year? It’s hard to get good mint choc chip ice cream and I don’t see why I should only be able to get it in the winter…

@metro.co.uk.web.brid.gy as a white, Englishman I feel absolutely disgusted that Michelle Agyemang is missing from this montage. Indeed that all of the non-white players in the team are missing. What on EARTH were you thinking? And why did nobody notice this? It’s absolutely shameful.
