Has sudden second thoughts about taking half my cookery books to the charity shop.
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

This is a great form of protest. We should try it at the Spurs Shop - buy a Europa League winners t shirt, then immediately return it.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

The board could blame Levy for the Ange/Frank decision and just put everything right again. Might not work, but we'd have some fun.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Here's my plea to the government, media and everyone else to stop treating NHS administrators as a problem to be eliminated, rather than the glue which holds the whole organisation together.

See, this is where the Beeb goes wrong, thinking we need to know the evidence-free opinion of Larry from Bristol because it 'balances' the other view.
![Extract from BBC website: Over on BBC Radio 5 Live this morning.
Nicky Campbell has been fielding callers opinions on Trump's threat of legal action against the BBC. Here's a whip-round of what you told us:
"If we have to pay a penny to Trump, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to pay my TV licence,'' says Simon from Truro. He thinks the BBC needs to "stand up" to Trump.
Larry, from Bristol, says Trump "covered all bases" in his letter threatening to sue the BBC for $1bn.
"I don't think the BBC has got any out in this other than [paying] the appropriate amount of compensation," he says.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kynqzjjwncd5ehmbfnkuujde/bafkreidroppc4qsn6ysz7e2rf7judhoqkysn6fkr67b4auc5gz7dzx2g2m@jpeg)

The only solution is for every BBC news programme to include a verbatim quote of the most incoherent and deranged thing Trump has uttered that day.

Stephen really does have the best take on this. It’s not clear that the BBC Board or indeed the rest of the News team really understood the message of the previous reviews, which were about getting detail right. Instead they wanted to know what was ‘biased’ or not like they were blotting out stains.
The impossible dream some people on the British right are chasing is that you can have a BBC News operation that retreats from detail and expertise, that takes dictation from the government, but this will only create incompetence and failure when it suits you:
To fix the BBC, focus on competence and cash
Corporation fails to learn from criticism, while politicians have consciously reduced its scope for quality journalism

And if we think it’s bad now, imagine what it could look like, say, two months from a U.K. general election?
Could imagine huge sums in US far right cash flooding in, much of what would only be declared after the election (our electoral rules really are a jape)

I can't imagine a job i'd like to do less. Managing an organisation held to a ludicrous standard by roaring idiots on a daily basis, while the main mediums it uses are all in decline and it's starved of resources.
