Sweet mother of god. What witchcraft is this???
#RecipeOfTheDay is Apple and Blackberry Kuchen, which is rather like a Germanic fruit-topped focaccia. And I should tell you that it’s as wonderful (and more common, actually) made with plums. www.nigella.com/recipes/appl...

Kuchen, in this context, may be simply "cake" in German, but what it means in America, taken there by German refugees, is a sweet, but not too sweet, yeasted dough, baked in a slab and topped as desir...

Since the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine there has not been a single day when decisive action by Europe would not have ended the conflict, with Russia agreeing to pay reparations, within 16 weeks.
Europe could resolve this before Christmas. The deal is simple ...

This is masculinity too
I love this so much and I am absolutely tearing up about it. The gentleness and plainness of this, the way he just lets her be her (and she seems so damn lovely, who wouldn’t?), the generosity.
It isn’t going to solve the world’s problems, but this kind of humanity is a hell of a start.

This is terrifying - We have a government that is redefining "terrorism" in order to suppress dissent.
The distortion of the meaning of "terrorism" required to proscribe Palestine Action is utterly absurd, and extremely dangerous.
I cannot imagine that the UK supreme

I spoke on LBC this morning about the mass arrests in London. By proscribing Palestine Action as a “terrorist” organisation, the government has created another tool to shut down protest over Gaza. Now, people are being arrested simply for holding a Palestinian flag.

In English a cat’s paw pads can be called “toe beans.” In German, I’ve heard them referred to as Zehenbeere, or “toe berries.” In Japanese they are 肉球 (“flesh buns”). Norwegian has tredeputer, or “stepping pillows.” And a colloquial Korean name for them is 냥젤리. It essentially means “meow-gummies.”

So this is one of those "til" moments....having no prior knowledge or what "entemans cake" is... So, out of curiosity, I Google for a recipe....only to find (for the benefit of others) that it's a brand of rather ordinary looking mass-produced cake products. So .. in this context... The bar is low

So, I have just been in receipt of the dirtiest look from a Starbucks cashier... They asked me for a name and I said "Alfonzo" cuz, why not, but then I saw a flicker of recognition in their eyes... I think they may have remembered that yesterday I was "Michele". Woopsie.

If you're a developer under the age of 50 and without a beard it's inappropriate to use the word "grok" in everyday speech. I am sorry, I don't make the rules.

This contains one of the best sentences I've ever read on any platform. Frankly...
What Kier fails to realise is that when the average Brit has committed to ordering a curry, they're entirely unconcerned by the manner of its delivery. Frankly, Satan himself conveying it on a Penny-farthing hewn from fiery pumice ridden recklessly en-route through a puppy orphanage would be fine.
