The Speculaas Biscuits from my Amsterdam Christmas Special are #RecipeOfTheDay – or, at least, my version of them is! They’re not generally iced, and when I make them to eat with cheese (also unorthodox, but I can recommend) I certainly don’t ice them, either. www.nigella.com/recipes/spec...

The EU court has ruled that Poland must recognise the marriage of a Polish same-sex couple who married in Germany, even though Polish law does not allow such marriages.
The ruling requires Poland to change its system for recognising such marriages so as not to discriminate against same-sex couples.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Look, a Reform MP saying black people in adverts drive her mad is very bad.
The Shadow Home Secretary refusing to condemn this because it reflects "legitimate concerns about...immigration" is arguably worse, because it's:
A) a real party
B) a shadow minister
C) he's been in parliament since 2015!
