Would it be so difficult to publish the name of the recipe in the message, so irritating.

Starmer's ability to find the exact sweetspot which pisses off everyone is extraordinary. He's a savant.

A weekend when a decade happened But Operation Epic Fury is not the only potentially epic news

“There are decades when nothing happens and weeks when decades happen,” is it often said.
Perhaps we should amend that. There are weekends when decades happen. And the past 48 hours have been about much more than Iran. My longread connecting some dots.

Mothering Sunday on March 15th. It's hard if she's not around. I'll be reading out the names of our remembered #Mums26 from the top of the Ashton Memorial in Lancaster. You can see across the sea to the Lake District. If you'd like your Mum/Mam/Mom's name added to the list, reply with hashtag! ❤️ 👑

Very late notice for sour beer nerds. My workplace Cloudwater, have a Coolship filling evening, bottle share (BYO, but I’ll grab some stuff from our cellar) and cheese at our Manchester Brewery taproom from 5pm.

Former UK PM Gordon Brown is providing - voluntarily and not for the first time - information to the police about abuses of power relating to the Epstein files. As PM Brown was briefed against by people such as Alistair Campbell and Peter Mandelson as being ‘psychologically flawed’ ….1/

Nobody loathes Ricky Gervais more than the person on his team who keeps telling him photo-shoots like this are a good idea. The greatest inside job in the history haterdom. Nobody else gets close.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.

Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.

Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

Spotted in Belfast Airport - apparently Heverlee “premium” pilsner is brewed to the “original recipe” which dates back to 1129. Surprised by this, given that lager yeast didn’t emerge until the 15th century and pilsner didn’t exist until 1842. ABInBev really don’t give a shit about beer or drinkers.
