Wife and I just finished this #recipeoftheday
relishing a total cheat.
Cook some rhubarb in just a small quantity of sugar, pour over a wedge of salted caramel ice cream (which, on its own, is too sickly sweet)
but this,
is AAA+
Drizzle of cream optional.

Conservative estimates based on trial evidence, longitudinal statistical analysis, and prison officer judgement regarding prisoners maintaining innocence, suggest that there are currently between 300 and 800 prisoners wrongfully convicted of sex offences.
Chemical castration is it. Yep, death penalty is around the corner. It's a good job that our legal system and police are so competent and never convict innocent people.

Come ON, @bsky.app
one look at my block list and you can see what your algorithm needs to do...

Remove the 10% load of Anime/ Poketwat/ draw by numbers "Commissions open" yuk from my discover feed,

You are making it so I need to mute the word "art"
and I like actual art.

#Starmer soundbite on the BBC news, in 2 brief sentences, he said "Going forward" twice.

This is considered a disciplinary offence among social services managers FFS.

Her summary speech was a tour de force,
and she is right -
it's time to pull down the curtains on the wizard and witches of OZ who give us the Goebbels big lie, repeated daily, "false rape accusations are rare"
when they actually outnumber real ones more than 2-1 in police recording.

I walk the uncomfortable not right or left line,
political tribalists hate that,
no matter which side of the left right line they are on
this helps to understand why.

That's the problem with some books, especially fantasy compendiums
- they promise so much -
and then they get worse and worse, ending with crap like "Revelations" -
I just finished reading a book that I kept hoping would get better. It did not. I detested it, lol. I threw it across the room when I finished.

Thanks for listening.

I think it is indicative of terrible music taste being a universal issue, that
the UK Jury voted mostly for Latvia's more forgettable than most performance.

"Certainly sir, and would you like your steak rare, well done, or taken out the back and shot?"
As anyone who has ever worked in a restaurant could tell you, to “86” someone or something means you take it out back and shoot it. It brings me no pleasure to report this.

The BBC run with the story that former Reform MP Lowe accuses Farage of running a cult...

maybe not news to most but his consistency in this matter has the wikipedia stamp of approval. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_...

and the deeper irony is - real Biblical scholars have used writing style analysis to determine that the Paul as recorded in all the Bibles is at least 3 different people...

a kind of trinity?
Christian guy says homosexuality is condemned based on Romans and Corinthians.

Look at me. Look me in the eyes:

You worship PAUL.
