This is so funny to me- I couldn't stop laughing when I parsed each OFMD location at Te Henga and realised what I was seeing. Red box on the left is where Stede was standing to throw his letters into the sea. Red box on the right is where Ed was standing when he found one 🫢

It's extremely corrosive to civil order that we hear "Trump is breaking the law" and most people think "when I break the law I am *minimally* involved in a drawn out cruel display of state power and *maximally* deprived of my freedom" and for actual members of the government its a "whoopsie".

I get that not everyone understands that baking is a precise science but surely, surely there is no way you genuinely thought you could replace the sugar in your cake with "calorie free cofee sweetener tablets" and blame it on the recipe being bad

Tried making a cake...

I tried making a Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte, and this was supposed to be the base for it.
It was even supposed to be a bit on the healthier side, so I substituted the sugar for a 1200 pill pack of those calorie free cofee sweetener tablets.
It was in the oven for maybe 7 minutes at the reccomended temperature and turned out like this.
Did this happen because 1 misread 2 tea spoons of baking soda for 2 table spoons or was I just unlucky and used a bad recepie?

David Jenkins quoting a post on Bluesky from popcrave which reads, “David Zaslav is set to receive a $606.1 million payout as he exits Warner Bros. Discovery amid its merger with Paramount.” David posts, “He made this money on the backs of tens of thousands.
He took food from their tables to make this money.
These proceeds are cursed. And I wish him every bit of his karma.”

A fascinating editorial decision from the BBC, to make the headline a scaremongering “AUTISM AND ADHD ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED”, and then, four bullet points later, have the author of the report quoted as essentially saying “nah, that’s bullshit, actually”.

ADHD and autism at risk of over-diagnosis, says report, as author warns of rise in mental ill health
Summary
• An official review in England finds there is a risk of people being over-diagnosed with
ADHD and autism - three key findings from the report
• As well as neurodevelopmental conditions, the review looks at mental ill health, particularly in younger people. Our health correspondent explains the difference
• It was commissioned earlier this year after Wes Streeting, then the health secretary, said there was an "over-diagnosis" of mental health conditions
• Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme earlier, review chair Prof Peter Fonagy said Streeting was "with respect, completely wrong"
