@leareth.bsky.social Thank you so much for the wonderful gift of new recipes! Trying new things and eating then is THE BEST. Wishing you, Benji, and the 🦄 well.

A random dude in the Yo! Sushi queue started a conversation with me, and we ended up spending almost an hour eating and chatting about everything from eSports to the state of democracy in the UK & US, and the rapid modernization of China.

Yes, I agree. Only billionaires should be allowed on this mission. As many of them as possible. We wouldn't want any of them to feel left out! What an exciting opportunity for all of us.
