"Well let’s start with a retail fact that 2016 was the first year that Americans spent more at restaurants and bars then at grocery stores. Where do you suppose this is taking us?" In the comments of an interesting piece by Grant McCracken. And all I can think is: really?

The global trade resource is almost as fascinating as the changing global diets website, with one huge proviso. The arrows go, roughly, from the centre of the exporting country to the centre of the importing country. That is, it completely ignores the reality of containerisation, which has had such a massive impact on food systems and much else besides. There's a new podcast series about it, called Containers, by Alexis Madrigal.

@LukasRosenstock Absolutely. Make it easy to host an indieweb capable domain and business can only grow.

Working my way through Chris Aldrich's guide to bringing Twitter @mentions home, and while the WP site is not responding, this site is. But, in the absence of a /mentions page, where on Earth are those backlinks going? And can I display them?

@MarkedApp It's not really a writing app though, is it? I love it for proofing.

@kevinmarks Interesting piece, although @Withknown didn't like @velartrill's URL
