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!)

This quote from Reform is completely normal and not extraordinarily and unnecessarily specific.

When Viktor Orbán advocates for "peace" that means absolute and total capitulation of Ukraine and agreement to whatever terms Vladimir Putin asks for. When he changes his demands, so does Orbán. This is what sock puppet means. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

A 2.5Kg shoulder of lamb! Lovingly smoked on the bbq, and cooked in total for 6 hours, rested for nearly one, and pulled apart! It was a great 50th birthday present for our friend's party...!

This man's brain fizzes with ideas and lots of good words come out. You ought to hire him to do some writing for you.
Folks it pains me to ask so bluntly, but could anyone use some work doing by me? I've got to find income for three months until my next royalty payment, and I'm not having much luck.

This is legit why exec level in a lot of places are obsessed with copilot.

It takes their word salad and turns it into a word salad that sounds smarter (but isn't).
Every office has an executive tier whose emails are like:

and a worker tier whose emails are like:

Dear Jim,
First of all, I *love* this idea! Unfortunately, I spoke with Legal and identified a few issues with this approach. For starters…
Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

On Monday, the Home Secretary will outline the biggest set of changes to the asylum system in modern times.

These changes will restore order to our asylum system. There is nothing ‘left wing’, ‘socialist’ or ‘progressive’ about insecure borders.

At some point, for the love of God, will someone ANYONE at long last take the council funding crisis seriously?!?

Because THIS is what will break down a society, not some poor soul escaping incredible dangers, arriving on our shores.
