Fabulous figs, frightening foie gras, flattering liars! An ancient food thread that has it all; (If you're sensitive to animal cruelty, then be forewarned!)
In the name of Hades, what do you mean Thomas? What connects these seemingly very different things -namely figs and liver- together?

*SOCIAL* (without medical intervention) trans gender expression during childhood seems to be an exceptional way in which children need to have their harmless and unique personality quirks suppressed for the greater good, and for the good of ideals of child psychology.

I absolutely refuse to believe that the pheasant who regularly visits my mum and dad’s garden is real and has not in fact been crocheted.

Read to the end of this devastating expose’. I have one very important fact to add to it:the ‘Ecosystem collapse and national security’ report published (reluctantly, silently) by the Govt is an iceberg: there is another chunk of the report that remains unpublished.

His appointment was controversial because in the past he promoted a Belgian holocaust denier.

“We have no lessons to learn from America about good and affordable healthcare for everyone. … Here, we let the courts do their work, and no one is above the law. Not even an American ambassador. He has no business interfering with our legal process.”

I’ve said before that I strongly believe in a progressive global maximum wealth tax, kicking in around $10 million. Think what a life you could have if you had $10m! Everything you could possibly want! Now think about how that’s just 1% of $1bn. Insane. Too much. Would make you go weird

Billionaires are money hoarders. No one can spend $1 billion, let alone $100bn, on things they & their families need, or even really want. If they gave away 99% of their loot, this lot would still be absurdly, obscenely rich. Their wealth is socially useless, kept out of circulation for status alone
pretty stunning chart

I really believe in focusing on making something good and worth people’s time which often is at odds with how the industry has changed recently.

People recognize the value in something if you see it too. Advertisers are fickle, but if you respect your audience they’ll respect you too.

This move from Apple proves my point about the end goal for the pivot to video in podcasting being dynamic video ad insertion.

None of the current new trends are being driven by offering a better product for the end user. podnews.net/article/vide...

They see the power the clergy have in Iran and Saudi Arabia and go 'want'.

Theocracy means power as who dares argue with god?

As long as it is their theo who is cratting.
I wish I had fewer opportunities to encourage everyone to read 'Hybrid Hate', an absolutely terrific book that covers the long and fraught relationship that modern racism has with Christianity.
Charlie Downes (Restore Britain, campaign director): "More than anything, it is Christian faith. Ancestry and it is Christian faith"

Alex Phillips: "So if you are not a Christian, you can't be British?"

CD: "Well. You are certainly less British if you are not a believer in Christian principles".

This is just blatant self soothing, it refers to global events like covid or the war in Ukraine as explanations for Britain's malaise, but then ignores them for other countries, the reality is the UK was hit worse and has recovered worse, in part due to brexit, in part because you were in government

This is a slightly curious way to frame, 'Millions of people are currently not exercising their right to vote, and this is disproportionately an issue in poorer and urban areas.'

Reform could potentially win the floating protest voters but lose its far right base to Restore and thus lose the election for being insufficiently racist

A giant loss: Robert Duvall is gone. An extraordinary artist who was fluent in every dialect of film acting, from ice-cold underplayer (The Godfather) to expert naturalist (Tender Mercies, The Apostle) to balls-to-the-wall maniac (Apocalypse Now). One of our all-timers. Plunge into that filmography.
Robert Duvall, the legendary actor whose career has spanned over six decades, has died at 95, his wife announced

Could the tech guys offer us an exciting chance to keep our loved ones alive by, say, not destroying the planet by heat, extraction and rage. You know, rather than by making robot versions of their Facebook accounts that chat after they die? Or is there no spec VC capital in actually helping out?
