Well we really enjoyed our lunch of pancakes.
Rashers and maple syrup...
then for dessert, more pancakes with caster sugar and lemon juice.
Never change a winning formula!

I make biscuits, pastry, and sometimes cake or bread, without using a stand mixer or food processor.
I am the food processor.
I am fitted with hands.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

This is true of many things!
you can actually just make chicken soup in like fifteen minutes. you don't need to spend ages doing all that faff, you can basically just cook it all together in a pot and it tastes pretty good

There are currently two corporations with applications to strip the west coast of seaweed.
There will be a tiny window to put in a submission to these applications but it'd be good to build momentum now and get these applications being talked about locally.

So much Yes to this
I’m furious at AI because it steals our work, consumes vast resources and produces mediocrity, but along the way it also traumatises the people - mainly in the developing world - who are paid a pittance to train it. Theft, abuse, environmental destruction, all to make rich men richer. Burn it all.

Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland.
There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same.
And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment.

I didn't really feel like going to choir practice tonight; I've been ill, I was tired, etc
But I'm really glad I did; banter and singing and the company of very old friends. SO curative!
Was worth the drive on a wet cold night, just to feel that comfort.

Look at how the fabric's painted. And I think Mary made the right decision to eschew jewellery on this instance, with all that glittery frou-frou on the shoulders.

Artist John Singer Sargent was born #OnThisDay in 1856. His 1892 portrait Mrs Hugh Hammersley, depicted Mary Hammersley in a cherry silk velvet gown trimmed with gold lace at the cuffs, hem and neck. Mary kept this fragment of the gown all her life. Met Museum collection. #fashionhistory
