Just ate the best cannolli I've ever had in a pub in Fairview of all places. Lol. Pub is The Strand House btw.
Two cannoli stuffed with a light pink vegan raspberry cream, raspberry puree is dotted around the plate and garnished with pistachio.

Terre Madre is basically the only Italian restaurant I eat in in Dublin. Most other places I can make better myself at home but not here. Selection of antipasti; gnocchi, pistachio, speck, straciatella; amatriciana. The gnocchi dish is an absolute banger.
A selection of various different salami and two bowls with olives and walnuts. Gnocchi with a light green pistachio cream sauce, you can see chunks of speck and it's topped with straciatella cheese A bowl of amatriciana

Back on Twitter I used to have a tweet I would link to for this scenario. Lol.

Fantastic little vignette about Glinner from today's @vittles.bsky.social newsletter (I highly recommend subscribing btw, if you're in any way interested in food).
In the past, in my experience, bad customers were mainly either drunk and entitled or else minor celebrities, the kind who have tasted just enough fame to be complete arseholes; Graham Linehan, for example, seemingly made a point of always coming in five minutes after lunch service had started and asking for breakfast while his companions ordered from the lunch menu. “They’d tell him to fuck off at McDonald’s,” we’d mutter, but make him his bacon sandwich anyway. In fact, we would have told him to fuck off too (rather more politely) if he hadn’t been then-beloved sitcom writer Graham Linehan, years before his reinvention as extremely divorced transphobe. We should have realised.

The best response I've seen to this genre of tweet.
To teach my kids a lesson about socialism, I gave all my kids a list of chores that I thought they could handle, but set their allowances at the same level. Then I had the CIA murder me and install a puppet dad.

Wikipedia entry about poppy mania: In 1993, The Royal British Legion complained that Cannon Fodder, a video game with an anti-war message, had planned to use a poppy on its cover. The Legion, along with some politicians, called it "offensive to millions" and "monstrous". [83] The publisher was forced to change the cover before the game was released. [84]

Back when I was CEO of Antifa I published an article in the New York Times that would be illegal now because of Donald Trump! 🤬
Opinion Everything you think you know about Antifa is wrong Just hear me out By CEO of Antifa Leader of one of the world's largested politcal organisations It might strike you as odd to see an author who is unashamedly anti-fascist being published in this newpaper but after the publication of Tom Cotton's call to fascism yesterday I have been given the honour of a right of reply, of sorts (I am not allowed engage with any of the points raised by his article). Regardless of whether this is a desperate attempt at damage limitation by a profoundly debased outlet such as the New York Times or not, I cannot refuse access to a platform such as this. Instead let me give an insight into the workings of the institution I lead. Heading a global organisation like Antifa is not easy, there are many unique challenges, not least because we give our employees such a large degree of autonomy to meet their objectives. It's this latitude that helps us innovate in the protest space and really punch above our weight. As the events of the past week have shown, this allows us to be nimble in the face of ever changing situations on the ground. However, people often mistake this organisational agility as a free-for-all. Yes, colleagues are empowered to make decisions on their own but they do not act without direction. Behind the scenes you see a pretty standard management structure that wouldn't look out of place in an average corporation. Generally, I and the board will outline strategic goals for the year ahead in Q1, perhaps we want to increase engagement with the crucial 25-34 market or bolster recruitment of frontline operatives (we call these employees 'supersoldiers' but it's not as scary as it sounds!) that help us pacify important towns and cities. Once that's done it's up to the various regional managers and their direct reports to decide how to achieve these goals, measured according to strict Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). KPIs are incredibly important to me, and I have ensured that Antifa is a very data driven organisation, in fact, after 'Smash Fascism', I think our main guiding principle is 'what cannot be measured, cannot be improved'. To give an example, after Richard Spencer was filmed being punched in the face by a concerned citizen we noted how much engagement the recording garnered online. This led me to add a new metric to our dashboards of 'videoed punchings of Nazis', which led to a 400% increase in public humiliations for far right agitators. My approach was once considered unconventional by the 'old guard' but as our rise to public prominence increased yearly it became hard to argue with the results. I invested heavily in data science several years so we could more accurately target our interventions for maximum effect. We are now seeing the fruits of my foresight and our shareholders couldn't be happier. Yes, you read correctly, shareholders. I was initially appointed to help diversify the sources of our funding. For many years we had depended on the largesse of one benefactor (I'll leave you to guess who that was) and naturally the board was nervous of being so reliant on one source of income. Gradually, I managed to attract capital from across the political spectrum culminating in one of my most coveted achievements: investment from the Koch Institute. Clearly, they're hedging their bets given our meteoric rise and I think that's beautiful. But naturally we can't just spend our benefactors' money with impunity and the coronavirus pandemic has meant we have had to be quite imaginative with how we manage our finances. To aid us we have successfully applied to several of the employee furlough schemes throughout the world, including the US, which means that your tax dollars are helping to pay 80-100 per cent of our operatives wages. Government works. We have a lot of initiatives in the pipeline for the future, mainly based around making people afraid to be fascists in public again but not only that. I have plans to open Antifa themed bars to help us further diversify our revenue streams and a trademark on our famous double flagged logo is pending that will finally allow us to monetise the lucrative merchandise market. Of course I expect internal opposition to these moves but I think my record speaks for itself. Just as I have managed to assuage the fears of our more militant members, I hope my article has done likewise for this newspaper's readers and made it clear that we are not to be feared (unless you are a Nazi). In fact, I believe Antifa and wider society can work together to find new synergies that will benefit us all. Watch this space.

First hit on Google for 'Green party uk housing policy'
150,000 new social homes each year We pledge to provide 150,000 new social homes every year through: New build and the purchase/refurbishment of older housing stock. A community right to buy for local authorities for several categories of property. Ending the individual ‘right to buy’, to keep social homes for local communities in perpetuity.

The quality of pizzas in Dublin pubs is incredible. This is one from Bonobo. Look at the cornicione. Really good leoparding too.
A pepperoni pizza, the edges are completely puffed up and speckled with lots char spots. There's an orangery pink nduja sauce drizzled over it.

The problem with the block feather on here is that this joke wouldn't have been seen about five minutes after I'd posted this.

Lmao. Absolutely fucking not.
An email from Labout: "Angela Rayner served the country and the Labour Party with an enormous sense of duty, playing a key role in returning Labour to government. We’re all disappointed to have had to see her stand down from government but we know she will play a key role in Labour’s future. Her journey speaks volumes about how Labour in power changes lives and we thank her for her incredible service as Deputy Prime Minister and our Deputy Leader. But the threat from our opposition is developing so rapidly that we cannot take our eye off the ball. Something has changed since you left us and we have to ask: will you consider re-joining Labour? Yesterday, Nigel Farage rolled out Nadine Dorries to address Reform’s conference. One of Boris Johnson’s biggest allies, back to do it all over again - this time with Farage." I've highlighted this absurd bit: "Something has changed since you left us and we have to ask: will you consider re-joining Labour?"

Got a lovely rack of Iberico pork for a Sunday roast. Reverse seared it to 57C. The gravy started out as 1.5L of roasted chicken stock; reduced it down to 500ml. Did the roast potatoes in beef dripping too.
The cooked rack of pork. It's been deboned and the meat has been sliced thinly and laid out in a row. The meat is cooked medium rare so is slightly pink. Above there are the rib bones after carving. The plated roast, there are slices of the pork, roasties, mash, cauliflower cheese, tenderstem broccoli and green beans.

For anyone interested:
Amending Directive (EU) 2018/957 introduces a number of new rules: - the same rules regarding remuneration apply to posted workers as to local workers in the host country; - a worker will be considered to be posted long-term after 12 months (with the possibility of a 6-month extension subject to a motivated notification by the service provider). After this period, the posted worker will be subject to nearly all aspects of the labour law of the host country; - the number of potential collective agreements that may apply in EU countries having a system for declaring collective agreements or arbitration awards of universal application may be increased;

Absolutely adorable these lamb skewers from the Uighyher restaurant at the top O'Connell street. They'd be even nicer if they had chunks of lamb fat between the meat.

These days, if you don't give your name in English you get arrested and thrown in jail.
Headline form The Irish News website: Palestine Action grandmother says she was arrested after speaking Irish The 74-year-old west Belfast woman remains defiant following the arrest "One of the police officers came over and asked me my name, so I gave him my name. I gave it in Irish. He asked me my address, I gave him my address in Irish, and he went away and came back and said 'you have to give it in English or we will arrest you'.
