Scary twitter thread on the new US fascist/”radical catholic” crossover movement
The Groyper movement, “Deus Vult”, Nick Fuentes, and “America First”: “two weeks ago […] employees at the Planned Parenthood clinic in Dover, Delaware, watched stunned as protesters who usually gather outside the clinic performed the Nazi salute as patients were going in.” grim.

Figure out how to get from A to B with estimates of CO2 emissions involved — ‘Ecotrip is a platform that offers a solution to planes’ large CO2 emission by showing routes from user’s origin point to their desired destination, suggesting alternative means of transport ordered by their level of sustainability.’ works great! Pity it’s almost impossible to get anywhere from Ireland without flying :(

The “Smoky Cokey” cocktail tastes exactly how it sounds, and that’s a good thing
Via Ben — here’s a bunch of critics going nuts about a fecking whiskey and coke. ‘The ‘Smoky Cokey’ […] is a Coca-Cola that tastes smoky thanks to the addition of peaty scotch. Specifically, the drink as it was explained to me requires Lagavulin 16, a scotch that sells for around $75 a bottle in the United States. My god the critics go overboard with this: ‘the rich smoke and intensity of Lagavulin is beautifully countered by the sweet vanilla and gentle spices of the cola’ ‘I actually like to make mine with Mexican Coke when I have one handy, because I find the extra sweetness works even better with the fairly aggressive peatiness of something like a Lagavulin’ ‘There’s something about the sherry notes present in the Lagavulin that makes it really sing when drowned in high fructose corn syrup’ My theory is that this is a marketing wheeze devised by Diageo PR to garner a bit of clickbait….
