@caseynewton.bsky.social I really enjoyed this week’s podcast. I wondered what you think as a food lover about my experience that Medium editors titled “is this the worst Michelin starred restaurant in the world?”

Why won't GPs enter into Shared Care Agreements for those going through private diagnosis for ADHD?
There’s reasons, but spoiler alert, it feels more about 💰

Never a great idea to talk about religion in Northern Ireland… but here’s my take on religion and autism from a personal lens.

Losing my religion
Exploring the relationship between autism and aphantasia helped me understand why Catholic rituals felt distant and faith was never a good fit for me.

My favourite dishes of 2024. First, a crab taco from Enrico Bartolini at Mudec, Milan; a dish of scallop, sea urchin and caviar at Mercado do Bolhão, Porto; Wicklow venison at Ox Restaurant, Belfast and finally oysters in Vitoria-Gasteiz.

Not much of a shock given today the BBC was still airing ‘Walliams & Friend’ on CBeebies doing an apparently ‘funny’ take on Masterchef from David Walliams 🙄
Understand that currently the BBC still plans to air the two MasterChef Christmas specials, featuring Gregg Wallace, that they announced earlier in the week.

Listening to @kevinroose.com and @caseynewton.bsky.social’s latest episode on 100 most iconic technologies made me think about which tech was the most pivotal for younger me. AOL IM was definitely it. I have nostalgia for the dial up noise, the chats and the “you’ve got mail” message. What’s yours?

Day 14: ADHD meds, caffeine withdrawals, and gonzo vibes. ☕💊
Starting ADHD treatment feels like stepping into a Hunter S. Thompson story - chaos, clarity, and a touch of the surreal. From pounding headaches to the weird saga of sleep (or lack thereof), it’s been a ride. 🎢

I started my Twitter journey 15 years ago with a post about food, so I thought I’d do the same here.
Here’s my #restaurantreview of Mugaritz. A restaurant that once was great but now has descended into a belly button licking farce.
