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.

#PUZZLE Disused WW2 airfield Down Ampney, Glos. Dakotas flew from here. 1st pic by me from a gilder 2012 2nd Google Earth showing same area. Can anyone explain the cricket pitch sized marks at geometric angles that only show up occasionally?

one of my favourite cloud photos - from my back garden a year ago, giant seagulls preparing to attack...

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. #CrapSpeaking #BadEnglish

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. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB_O...

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" -

would have been even more unbelievable if Stephan had rung personally and explained he was bringing the boss because he was playing Bruce's father in a new film... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Israel 38000 points UK nil points... I blame Starmer.

#Eurovision #Euronoia 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.

She walked up to me and she asked me to trance... #Eurovison

Touch of the Rolling Stones lips in this Maltese performance... #Eurovision

what, even those who are mentally insane?

"Certainly sir, and would you like your steak rare, well done, or taken out the back and shot?"

seems like the blue background line is missing the word "screwed"

Here's the thing I saw... the clouds/sky seen to be a damn good echo of the shrubs/ground in my back garden.

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?

"The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long" so it is with the glorious Peony... today and 4 days earlier.

Never make an enemy of a Corvid - especially the crows, ravens and jackdaws... they will pass on their revenge instinct to their children like a 19th century Afghani whose farm was lost to war...

I dunno - these Americans with their eating records!

OR - show you care by learning to cook properly and making dinners fit for candlelight duos 350 nights a year, My wife certainly appreciates that my food is love - especially now we both collect pensions.

The obvious unanswered question here is, if the case can be destroyed by DNA evidence showing it was someone else - on what evidence was he convicted all those years ago? So many times the case swings on the police saying, "we don't like this guy" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Turns out that in the considered view of the insanely stupid haters living amongst us - Sycamore trees are gay.

I'm about to give you, all my money, and all I ask in return, honey,

Yvette Cooper and Co. if you stop all immigrants from coming to do care work, you'd better up the wage to noticably more than Lidl staff, PDQ, or there simple won't be enough staff to cover UK's care home needs. This is called, THE BLEEDING OBVIOUS.

the fictional meme mashers sometimes choose the least appropriate famous folk for their views... like someone who beat himself to death over a lying abusing misanthropist girlfriend, long before Musk bought Twitter. I'd rather the great chef's image was left alone.

Dental care becomes essential soon, but you will be fooled into thinking otherwise until you are at least 50.

I was getting used to the idea he was really a Peruvian citizen - but his American ways are clearly a factor still...

It's fun not being a Catholic. come on in, the water's nice and warm... 😈

This has to be the least surprising guilty verdict since the turn of the millennium... 2 people whose desperate attempts at a cutthroat defence were possibly the stupidest in history. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ck...

I just watched a couple of films with VEday relevant Churchill speeches... and, imagining what would have happened in 1940 if Starmer had been PM, we would have lost.

..and 5 world leaders asked for their reaction to the election of a new pope to be "off the record" since they see the Catholic church as the opposite of a power for good in an ever more corrupted organisation.

Play games on your phone? do you get the most persistent bad adverts in the history of new media advertising? you are not alone (and billionaires have personal shoppers)

they lost too much weight it seems

OK you like being kind, I see that, and you think that's what woke means... but accusing people of "micro aggression and/or cultural misappropriation?That BS can just get in the sea.

There are many hundreds of us who could never vote for Starmer due to seeing him as the instigator of UK wide injustice as DPP. He created the Police/CPS "believe the victim" contradiction of the justice process - leaving 30,000+ real victims lives wrecked by lying accusers. He is not fit to lead

This morning @surliertexan.bsky.social was telling me about this exploding duck and it was TERRIBLE and I couldn’t stop laughing (because I’m BAD) and they were like yeah that’s the sort of thing that would happen to you

I see a lot of people on here who are like bad cartoons of artists - and who are not fit to clean B Kliban's boots.

If you've been following this case, you'll get why this just gets funnier by the day. Not the crime - which was horrible, but the dumb nature of the defence and their wriggling, when all evidence screams that they should have pled guilty. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"The comedy circuit confuses itself with a congeniality competition. The rank and file operate in a suffocating fog of performative kindness like some horrific Mormon death march." A Lenny Bruce dark side trigger warning jaymackcomedian.substack.com/p/the-mad-ha...

Unusual for Frankie... first thing after food, following me upstairs and an immediate jump and purring on my lap with morning coffee. This just never happens. Delightful but almost worrying...
