That’s (genuinely) deeply disappointing
SCOOP: Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated a recent anti-vaccine documentary that glorifies RFK Jr.’s rise to power.

In the film, Neeson—a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador—calls the COVID-19 vaccines “dangerous experiments.”

I so adore #RecipeOfTheDay, it’s hard not to sound unattractively boastful when I talk about it. But truly, this Luscious Vegan Gingerbread does have something miraculous about it. It’s dark, sumptuous, squidgy and simply divine – I named it luscious for a reason! www.nigella.com/recipes/lusc...

I am preposterously proud of this squidgy gingerbread, and I don't mind who knows it. It's everything you want out of a gingerbread — sticky, spicy, deeply aromatic — and you would never miss the butt...

✨From the archives: St Mary’s, Breamore in Hampshire, is one of the most complete late Anglo-Saxon churches we have — a building that’s held its ground for over a millennium. Here I photographed it with the Elizabethan Breamore House behind it, two eras folded into one view.

Devilled Eggs are like cocktail sausages in that however many you make, they will always, always get eaten. This is why they are such excellent party food – and a most deserving #RecipeOfTheDay! www.nigella.com/recipes/devi...

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

I've just come across the political term, moronocracy, rule by idiots. It perfectly describes the current US administration of goons like Hesgeth, Patel & RFK, headed by the Orange Emperor of Moronovia.

Vaccines work. Anyone who spreads disinformation about their efficacy is needlessly costing lives. Many thanks to amazing Aussie scientists Prof Ian Frazer & Dr Jian Zhou who developed the HPV vaccine which is now saving women's lives around the world.

Cook in an air fryer or oven. If you're making for pizza, slightly undercook as it will be cotinue cooking on the pizza. Great on a sandwich too
