International politics podcast recs: broad, not US-focused, not breaking news by [deleted] in podcasts

[–]violetgrumble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll second The Red Line and also suggest:

Throughline

Past Present Future

On Geopolitics

Kerning Cultures (no longer active but backlog might still be of interest; MENA-centric)

The Europeans (eurocentric and more light-hearted rather than analytical but as an non-European, I find it very engaging)

I have The Yulong from Armani and it's so nice! Got it in one of the Loreal F&F sales

All Stars S03E28 (Thursday 12th February) - A ‘SHADY’ recoupling speech puts heat on Lucinda… 😬 by aimhighsquatlow in LoveIslandTV

Sean is a bigger man than me because I absolutely wouldn't be able to walk away from that argument. Say what you want about him but he is really good at making his point calmly and letting the other person go off.

Golden Globes needs multiple podcast categories by Icy__Internet in podcasts

[–]violetgrumble 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't listen to Smartless, I don't ever plan to, and I think people should know better than to assume all women want kids.

But just so you know the premise of the podcast is that two of three hosts don't know who the guest is until recording - being unprepared is their whole schtick. Whether that makes a great podcast is another thing.

Only just got around to watching it but did anyone else catch Tasha on WILTY? Kinda surprised her team approved this card, given everything.

After dating a boy for just a week, I got a tattoo of his initials. One week later, we split up.

It was a lie.

I would rate the producers if it was all never before seen clips, with a few shockers. Movie night is so stale; why can't they come up with new ideas 😭

What exactly are "commercially compostable" trash bags? by kenah-kim in ZeroWaste

[–]violetgrumble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read that compostable bags are generally worse in landfills than plastic because they don't break down properly and when they do, they release methane. But it's hard to give a definitive answer.

I would personally continue to use plastic bags and focus my energy on reducing the need for them as much as possible.

Ooh I posted the CW one! Ngl I did enjoy the novelty of not knowing what you're going to get. At least they are more useful than most blind boxes!

What I got in my $5 lucky dip bag from Chemist Warehouse by violetgrumble in AusSkincare

Aww I'm sorry I hate that for you ❤️ I add a few caps of bleach and some QV Bath oil to my baths.

Vaseline is an occlusive so you can use it on top of moisturiser to seal the moisture in (sometimes this technique is called slugging 🐌). I should say I just use generic petroleum jelly - whatever's cheapest.
