Hahah, I was just reminded of this interaction on Twitter with Phil Vischer, the creator of VeggieTales. I wanted to make a copy for posterity:
Keith Andrew: “Good God man, what kind of woke idiot have you devolved into. What’s next? Trans Veggie Tales where Veggies come out as fruit?”
Phil Vischer: “Botanically speaking, cucumbers and tomatoes are, in fact, fruit. Sorry about that.”

I watched a video about the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die and someone built a web app to help you listen to them all with a daily recommendation. I think I’ll give it a shot as part of my #TodaysAlbum project.
Woo, new year, new blog post! Thanks for participating. I do hope the Skirts Awards come at some point, though.
Aye, and the remix album is just as good!
