Ich habe bei Flora Food Group nachgefragt, ob “Rama sooo buttrig” in Zukunft tierische Butter enthalten wird. Das haben sie bestätigt. Lediglich der Block und die Version mit zugesetztem B12 (grüner Deckel) sind weiterhin #vegan. #rama

When you’re a kid, life feels easy because you haven’t yet seen how much work gets hidden behind the things that just appear for you.

«But speaking exclusively to the BBC, [the Turing Institute's] Chair Dr Doug Gurr said the whistleblower claims were "independently investigated" by a third party which found them to have "no substance". […] He did not name the third party which had carried out the investigation.»

There's a lot of history that's lead to this moment, and it's kind of all relevant to understanding how we got here and how we actually get out.
