Recalling that the @nigella.bsky.social book "How to Eat" has a great recipe for Custard Tart 🥧

Just sayin'
Cover image of How to Eat. From left to right , stacked blue glass beakers, a cylindrical metal grater, an egg in a slender black egg cup, and a dark green head of cabbage. Book title and strapline "the pleasures and principles of good food" above, author's name below. It's also available in a wonderful audiobook read by Nigella, with an intro by Jeanette Winterson

Lots of interest...
The Child Catcher scene from "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!" Two children lured by the extravagantly dressed Child Catcher, with his fake promises of treats and goodies. They're approaching his elaborately decorated wagon, which just before it transforms into a cage when they're tricked to step inside.

Given the amount of trauma he's caused I know this isn't the most relevant question, but why does Wes Streeting always look like he can't decide whether to spit or swallow?
Photo of #WesStreeting under a headline reading, "Streeting orders review into mental health and ADHD diagnoses". He is wearing a dark blue suit and maroon tie, and has his lips tightly pursed as if making up his mind whether to spit or swallow

Surely, they meant?
Screenshot of a headline on an article "by Jeff Wise, Nov 25 5AM GMT." "IS CHAT G P T CONSCIOUS? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something." the screenshot of the original has been altered so that "to" of "onto" is double struck out, making the sentence "...time to consider whether they're on something".

Amazed to see BBC News stating this bit of truth in a live blog. Wonder how long it'll be allowed to stay up?

"It's important to remember that public finances are not like household finances. [Highlighted text] The government doesn't have to first find the money before it spends it. It spends the money into existence in the economy [end highlighting] and then taxes it back out."

Got to this bit and nearly choked on my coffee from laughing so hard. You guys crack me up! 🫤
"On the upside, the party had a successful run last week after Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood unveiled new immigration plans, [highlighted text] which were largely well received [end highlighting] - will delivering those plans be the thing that saves Starmer?" The words "Shabana Mahmood unveiled new immigration plans" are a hyperlink to an article, who's headline is "Why Tommy Robinson is backing Labour's new immigration plans"

Who was it who gave Streeting and Mahmoud "hefty donations" in recent weeks? Annoying of the authors not to say
"While no leadership threat seems imminent, No 10 is not completely paranoid. Streeting, Mahmood and others are said to be gearing up for the moment a challenge becomes viable, with [highlighted text] both receiving hefty donations in recent weeks [end highlighting] that could be used to fund a leadership run."

Who's this dead-eyed cunt anyway
Shot if some Labour minister, from the nose up looking like a dead-eyed cunt. He has receding hair a skin that looks like over stretched plastic. He's framed on a sky blue background with a picture of Elisabeth tower/Big Ben on the right, and (ironically) the words "Live, Westmnister" in the upper left hand corner. Ironic, because he looks like a dead-eyed cunt.

It still blows my mind that Kate Bush wrote a song about this... in 1989 !

Listen to it here:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVU6...
From the Wikipedia entry on "Deeper understanding": Background- Kate Bush explained that the song is about how people are replacing human relationships with technology: "This is about people... well, about the modern situation, where more and more people are having less contact with human beings. We spend all day with machines; all night with machines. You know, all day, you're on the phone, all night you're watching telly. Press a button, this happens. [...] And this is the idea of someone who spends all their time with their computer and, like a lot of people, they spend an obsessive amount of time with their computer. People really build up heavy relationships with their computers!"
