If you’ve seen what he’s willing to say on national television, then surely, you can’t be surprised by what he’s willing to spout on social media. We’re talking about Gordon Ramsay, the Michelin-starred chef who’s known about as much for his food as he is for his foul mouth. And now, he’s taking his cringe-worthy criticism to Twitter.

Attracting either egomaniacs or masochists, Ramsay has now taken to providing commentary on home chefs’ creations, and of course, he’s not holding back. Over the course of the last week, Ramsay has turned Twitter into an online version of his famed show Hell’s Kitchen, dishing out scorn and vitriol in a manner that can only be described as classic. But like the addicts we are, the meaner Ramsay is, the more we want.

Whether he’s telling cooks that their food looks like “the inside of my grand dad’s colostomy bag,” or that it’s “forking disgusting,” or that it “looks like toxic scum on a stagnant pool,” the public is just eating it up. Some people seem to be setting themselves up for disaster, with the audacity to ask the chef about their “pot pie made from scratch,” while taking a photo with the box visible in the background (yes, Ramsay called them out).

Of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t point out that there were some dishes that did, in fact, receive praise from the historically critical chef. There was an apple rose cake to which Ramsay responded, “Looks good,” and for another dessert, he even offered some constructive feedback, noting “5yr olds don’t like lemon peel, next time use a micro plane and lightly zest the top.”

So if you’re looking for someone to knock you down a few notches, consider tweeting a photo of your latest culinary creation to @GordonRamsay. But don’t say we didn’t warn you.

President Donald Trump cannot block critics from viewing his Twitter feed, a federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday.

A three-judge panel from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Trump violated the First Amendment by blocking people on Twitter who were critical of him and his policies, and that his account is considered a “public forum,” according to the New York Times. The court argued that no member of the American public should be barred from access to the views of the President.

How to create multiple profiles on a Facebook account
A series of social media app icons on a colorful smartphone screen.

Facebook (and, by extension, Meta) are particular in the way that they allow users to create accounts and interact with their platform. Being the opposite of the typical anonymous service, Facebook sticks to the rule of one account per one person. However, Facebook allows its users to create multiple profiles that are all linked to one main Facebook account.

In much the same way as Japanese philosophy tells us we have three faces — one to show the world, one to show family, and one to show no one but ourselves — these profiles allow us to put a different 'face' out to different aspects or hobbies. One profile can keep tabs on your friends, while another goes hardcore into networking and selling tech on Facebook Marketplace.
