This year’s green hop season has been brilliant. Two of the best are pouring at @thegreengoddesspub.bsky.social today. @kernelbrewery.bsky.social Wet Hop Bitter, all complex malts, sticky hop oils, then @elusivebrewing.com Green Hopper, crisp, fragrant, a lovely twist of bitterness on the finish.

There’s a lot of good sense in his. I hope Labour listen.

🌳 As a #NationalTrust member I’ve just voted for the recommended slate to keep out the bogus, right-wing entryists of “Restore Trust”. Anything this creep wants is bad for Britain and bad for our heritage. 🌳 If you’re a member, vote Recommended Slate now: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

First pint of the holiday. A fine Tinhead by Three Daggers at The Bradley Hare. Softly malty, a whisper of orangey hop… decent.

The park breakfast buffet was busy.

Most people vote for the party, not the individual. Therefore, most people should sign this petition. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Phenomenal pint of Level Up on cask by @elusivebrewing.com at the genius @thegreengoddesspub.bsky.social all scents of sticky malty goodness, floral and citrus top notes. Delicious bitterness.

This is my flag.

It took an Irish journalist, Claire Byrne, to hand Farage’s arse to him on a plate. Depressing not to see more of this in British broadcasting. Anyway, enjoy how the big mouth has nothing to say for once after she plays him some very embarrassing footage…

Currently drinking Cahors and looking for barn owls.

Currently listening to a tawny owl.

The new Kiki and MiuMiu has opened and Lewisham is currently losing its’ shit with excitement…. I came away with rice cakes, mocci, crab flavoured Lays and frozen gyoza… might go back tomorrow…

I’ve mulled over posting this for months now. But yesterday it came to a head. And I’m aware that the people who need to see it will either not be here, or will suggest that I’m lying. I live near an asylum hotel. The reason I didn’t post earlier is that I didn’t want to raise undue attention

Please stop doing this, media

You've GOT to be kidding me! The Conservatives - who oversaw every single thing on this list - are trying to claim that only the Conservatives would "stop the madness" - that they created...? So incredulity aside, what about the list itself? Let's go Debunking! 1/34

Yeah, why not do this now?

Pay attention. Here’s “the Godfather of Artificial Intelligence,” Geoffrey Hinton, accepting the 2024 Nobel Prize. Hinton co-developed the 1980s backpropagation algorithm, which laid the foundation for A.I. Hinton left Google in 2023, so he could speak freely about the risks A.I. poses to humanity:

Perfect early evening dinner at Manteca. Stellar produce, simply presented. The herb and fennel salad, tomatoes w bottarga and tuna crudo starred. Also they found me a portion of the brown crab cacio e pepe tonnaroli. Blissful.

Untruths about asylum-seekers exposed by @fullfact.org fullfact.org/immigration/... #asylum #migrants

Can't fault the clarity of Labour's message on protest. There are BAD protesters who must be punished (Irish musicians, anti-genocide vicars) and there are GOOD protesters whose views deserve respect (masked thugs with petrol bombs trying to start a pogrom)

Cis people being weird about trans people makes me think about king crabs. Bear with me for this one because it will make sense. You know king crabs, right? Giant crab, lives up north, has long legs, very expensive and tasty, featured on many a mukbang Did you know they are technically not crabs? 1/

Bird, a cracking pint of cask bitter on gravity pour, by @handbrewco.bsky.social at the wonderful @thegreengoddesspub.bsky.social. A study in complex malt flavours. Delicious.

Now that’s a collaboration to celebrate! Kombine brewed at St Bernadus with the folks from Wiehenstephaner. Alchemy. (Still available at Utobeer!)

Oh no I really hope Bill Clinton isn’t in the Epstein files, I’ll have to get rid of my Bill Clinton hat and my Bill Clinton sneakers and my Bill Clinton cologne and my Bill Clinton watch and take down my Bill Clinton flag and I’ll have to delete my Bill Clinton nft trading cards

Tagliolini w cultured butter, lemon and bottarga. Deliciousness at Legare earlier.

Goan fish curry, mango salsa, charred PSB, rice. #tweetyertea

40 years ago today I was pouring countless pints in one of the bars at Wembley Stadium during Live Aid. The plastic pints cups had about a 5% failure rate so an hour in and for rest of the day I was drenched in cheap lager.

Petrichor!

Our iodine-infused IPA isn’t looking quite so stupid a decision now.

Apparently there’s an ape called Dave Clarinet.

(1/2) With a heavy heart, I have written to the Prime Minister to tender my resignation as a whip. Whilst I will continue to support the government in delivering the change the country so desperately needs, I cannot vote in favour of the proposed reforms to disability benefits.

Nope! More large vehicles to fuck up the roads Notice how the birdsong is louder than the crowd

Corking mild by @handbrewco.bsky.social on cask at @thegreengoddesspub.bsky.social. Kindred is packed with complex malts; notes of tobacco, plums and parkin. Full bodied with a lovely dry finish with a rip of bitterness.

now that's a Chart of the Week (from @gelliottmorris.com):

We despise immigrants for not putting down roots, even as we make sure that it is impossible for them to do so. We do this because we have no idea what we want. open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...

Let me introduce #Nozama; when you want a book (or probably other goods, but easily with books), do your research on Amazon. You’ll get exact title, author’s name, edition, cover art and ISBN. In fact, everything your local bookstore needs to order it in for you.

Just your average morning watching an osprey fishing…

Yeah, ok then.

Love this beautifully written hymn by @vincerai.bsky.social to my local, the wonderful @thegreengoddesspub.bsky.social

7hr roast lamb and a spring veg braise; asparagus, little gem, spring onion, peas, jalapeños, mint, parsley and lemon zest). Dinner tonight was good.

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

💥🇭🇺 Police have given up guarding Budapest’s Liberty Bridge as anti-government protesters shut down traffic on four major bridges, rallying against Viktor Orbán’s new law curbing freedom of assembly and banning the Pride march. They vow to escalate with a 24-hour shutdown next week.

Brutalist tribute to mannequin pis opens in Greenwich

Cracking pint of Barghest by Tartarus Brewing. A full-on hop-custard… on cask. Bright, zesty, full-bodied goodness. Perfectly conditioned @thegreengoddesspub.bsky.social
