What to call a #rutabaga in English? Swedish #turnip is a bit OTT, calling them swedes makes me uncomfortable. In my head they're neeps, but not many anglos know what neeps are.
While idly looking for names, I read some webpages mentioning Charles Townshend and learned that many "history" websites just copy others, often verbatim, without investigation. Clickbaity, what?

"Flip a coin."
"What if I hit the minus?"
"You're going to have to regurgitate five pills."
"Ah."
"Then, if you dare, you take two more pills in the evening. If someone ever calls you Suzie while on this medication, call me immediately."
"But that's not my name!"
"Exactly. It will mean that the latest formulation is working and had changed your appearance enough to confuse people."
"Oh..."

It may not look like the most festive of treats, but New Year for Nao-san is marked by the arrival of her beloved 'turnips'🥹
She begins 'kabura' (かぶら) season with Nijō Wakasaya's (二條若狭屋) adorable offering.
How many kabura will she consume this winter?🤔

#Dystopia becomes reality. In the USA, it seems that the takeover of power is imminent for full-bottomed bastards who have succumbed to the delusion of being superhumans. #Thiel, son of an #apartheid supporter, seems to be the blueprint. Bitter!
