Apologies for the horrible AI illustration but, as Robin says, this is utterly fascinating.

SCATTERING half a teaspoon of dried chilli flakes over a cut grapefruit half and leaving it overnight in the fridge will make the grapefruit taste of chilli. So don't do it. Robert Canning e-mail
Happy birthday to Betty Boo. Here's a reminder of the time she rapped with Public Enemy in the McDonalds at Shepherd's Bush back in 1987 (look out for the unimpressed manager!)
A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflictβand 9000
miles from North Americaβmakes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
I feel confident that the sort of people who moved to Dubai to avoid paying tax would say that those fleeing war in other countries are not our concern and they should seek refuge in a neighbouring country. In this case Iβd suggest Iran, which they can reach by small boat.
Only knowing him from those Trivago adverts, my wife expressed opinions on Klopp's teeth so I had to show her this brilliant impression from the ever excellent @ofalafel.bsky.social

Fact Check:
Nigel Farage claims the FT ignored the Mandelson-Epstein scandal

Don't be like that. It doesn't matter about the standard of singing, you're supposed to stick with it for batter or worse.

A very good evening to whoever organised this billboard outside of Old Trafford.
Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff.
Game on.
Just seen another cheap jibe against Stephen Graham for the crime of proley sameness. None ever uses that as a stick to beat say Nigel Havers or Peter Bowles do they? Or someone of colour trotting out the same old same old ethnic. Only the working class talents. Always always always.
When the revolution comes, Iβm fighting on the side of We Rate Dogs.
The image shows a side-by-side comparison of Bad Bunny (left) and Kid Rock (right) with a social media post overlaid in the center. Here is the extracted text: βfalynmarie βIf you translate Bad Bunny's lyrics to English, he really isn't an appropriate pick to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show.. β"Young ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage. See, some say that's statutory, but I say it's mandatory." βOh wait..my bad. That's actually Kid Rock, headliner of the MAGA 'Christian' halftime show. So that tracks. β#badbunny #kidrock #SuperBowl
Christian lyrics be hitting different in the Trump era:
Can't think where they got the idea for the time from...

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβbecause the person felt she did didnβt deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
This is the future, lads, and we're living in it.

Sorry to soil my timeline but this did make me laughβ¦you?
Took me a momentβ¦
Greg Bovino was asked how he felt about his demotion today. "Well, obviously, I'm not happy", he replied. Someone in the crowd shouted back, "So which one are you?"
They won't be laughing when they're wrongfully arrested in connection with a 1970s pub bombing
