Wife and I just finished this #recipeoftheday relishing a total cheat. Cook some rhubarb in just a small quantity of sugar, pour over a wedge of salted caramel ice cream (which, on its own, is too sickly sweet) but this, is AAA+ Drizzle of cream optional.

Conservative estimates based on trial evidence, longitudinal statistical analysis, and prison officer judgement regarding prisoners maintaining innocence, suggest that there are currently between 300 and 800 prisoners wrongfully convicted of sex offences.

Her summary speech was a tour de force, and she is right - it's time to pull down the curtains on the wizard and witches of OZ who give us the Goebbels big lie, repeated daily, "false rape accusations are rare" when they actually outnumber real ones more than 2-1 in police recording.

That's the problem with some books, especially fantasy compendiums - they promise so much - and then they get worse and worse, ending with crap like "Revelations" -

The BBC run with the story that former Reform MP Lowe accuses Farage of running a cult... maybe not news to most but his consistency in this matter has the wikipedia stamp of approval. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_...

Rupert Lowe - Wikipedia

and the deeper irony is - real Biblical scholars have used writing style analysis to determine that the Paul as recorded in all the Bibles is at least 3 different people... a kind of trinity?

The obvious unanswered question here is, if the case can be destroyed by DNA evidence showing it was someone else - on what evidence was he convicted all those years ago? So many times the case swings on the police saying, "we don't like this guy" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

the fictional meme mashers sometimes choose the least appropriate famous folk for their views... like someone who beat himself to death over a lying abusing misanthropist girlfriend, long before Musk bought Twitter. I'd rather the great chef's image was left alone.

..and 5 world leaders asked for their reaction to the election of a new pope to be "off the record" since they see the Catholic church as the opposite of a power for good in an ever more corrupted organisation.

There are many hundreds of us who could never vote for Starmer due to seeing him as the instigator of UK wide injustice as DPP. He created the Police/CPS "believe the victim" contradiction of the justice process - leaving 30,000+ real victims lives wrecked by lying accusers. He is not fit to lead

This morning @surliertexan.bsky.social was telling me about this exploding duck and it was TERRIBLE and I couldn’t stop laughing (because I’m BAD) and they were like yeah that’s the sort of thing that would happen to you

DUCK EATS YEAST, QUACKS, EXPLODES; MAN LOSES EYE
Rhadamanthus's Unusually Fermented
Sunday Breakfast Causes It to Rise Plecemeal, Blinding Owner.
DES MOINES, la. Jan. 2 - The strangest accident recorded in local history occurred this morning when Rhada-manthus, a duck, which took a prize at the recent Iowa poultry show, exploded
Into several hundred pieces, one of which struck Silas Perkins in the eye, destroying the sight
The cause of the explosion was the cat-
ing of
yeast whieh was placed In a pan upon the back porch, and tempted his duckship, which was taking a Sunday morning stroll
Upon returning from church Mr Perking discovered his prize duck in a somewhat logy condition
Telltale
marks
around the pan of yeast gave him his clow
He was about to pick up the bird when the latter quacked and exploded with a loud seport and Me feriins ran into the house holding both hands over one eye. A surgeon was called, who found that the eyeball had born penetrated by a
fragment of flying duck and had no hope of saving the optic.

Sycamore Gap accused thought it was 'just a tree', court hears

If you've been following this case, you'll get why this just gets funnier by the day. Not the crime - which was horrible, but the dumb nature of the defence and their wriggling, when all evidence screams that they should have pled guilty. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Adam Carruthers says he did not fell the tree and was surprised at the global outrage.
