Sunday was slow smoking ox cheeks and eating it in tacos with guacamole and tomato salsa. Amd it was late when everything was ready including the sweet potato cooked in the embers! And corn on the bbq! Heaven! But not photos it was dark in the garden! This is next day. Or night, rather! #foodsky
My most boomer "things were simpler in the good old days" moment was reminiscing earlier this week about how Apple Photo Booth was once one of the coolest consumer feature on new computers
Certain posters are not beating the allegations that a certain type of British journalist is incapable of extending empathy to anyone other than the 50 or so colleagues they run into at dinner parties, a grace they extend to those 50 people but think minorities & the disadvantaged are unworthy of

The book features heroines, heroes and a villain,(including a queen, a pianist, a slave-trader, a merchant, an admiral, and a freedom fighter) who have, become better known for their culinary associations than for their more significant accomplishments...who are they? What did they cook?

People who do this are violating the basic norms of social interaction in a desperate attempt to speed-run self improvement and seemingly have no idea that... ...outsourcing self reflection to an LLM is precisely what will kneecap self-improvement

What's wild about things like this is its clear people who say this have an image of Manchester that's stuck (*at best*) at the the turn of the millennium If you want to find another city centre in England outside London that *feels* successful/on the up, Manchester is pretty much in pole position
Alice Lilly@aliceolilly.bsky.social · 2w agoJust seen a comment about N10N saying “enjoy your Greggs steak bake” because, truly, that is the only food we have anywhere in the North of England
Lobby/politics journalists in the UK realising they're going to spend the next few years frequenting a random branch of The Slug & Lettuce in central Manchester
the vitriol you get for saying that a library and a cafe are both equally important for a town, something that literally even a child drawing a picture of a town knows

The health secretary does not have a grace-and-favour mansion but does have access to an NHS on-call room that last had it's carpets changed under the Wilson government...
Sam Wilson@samwilson.bsky.social · 2w agoYeah but does it come with a grace-and-favour mansion? Checkmate, sensibles
"Given the amount of house building that took place during Baldwin's government, and Burnham's plans, it is clear that Britain must simply reject Oxford and install more Cambridge educated PMs to fix the housing shorta-"-*dragged away kicking and screaming by Oxford mafia*
Pointless helicopter coverage of motorcade! Pointless helicopter coverage of motorcade! *bangs clipboard on desk* POINTLESS HELICOPTER COVERAGE OF MOTORCADE!
Random fact of the day: it's been over 100 years since the UK had a PM called Andrew....and the last one was a Tory born in Canada who served as MP for Glasgow Central
Just saying, PM @andyburnham.bsky.social's last post on this site was to retweet this from @stephenkb.bsky.social
Stephen Bush@stephenkb.bsky.social · 3mo agoLast up is Andy Burnham. Mikel Arteta is Everton’s best player, he says, and he can’t get into the Spain team, so “I think it will be Spain”.
Norwegian commentator voice: "Juan Peron! Eva Peron! Diego Maradona! Jorge Luis Borges! Leopoldo Galtieri! Javier Milei - can you hear me, Javier Milei! Your boys took one hell of a beating! Your boys took one hell of a beating!"
Andy Burnham could pull a blinder after this match by inviting Pedro Sanchez for a state visit to the Falkland Islands
Actually wild how half the street cheered like the Tartan Army was in the final VArgentina managing to debase their own global standing like the central bank debases the Peso...

The Delicious Legacy Podcast@deliciouslegacy.bsky.social · 3w agoAs a young boy when I first read the Odyssey, the scene that haunted me and stayed in my memory forever was how Odysseus went to the Underworld, enticing the dead with honey wine and barley. So naturally I had to explore the mythical food of the Odyssey here! open.spotify.com/episode/58pB...
A piece of left-wing history: Hafenstraße. And Vietnamese cuisine in German communes around 1980, because when you said Vietnam then, people didn't think of Pho. www.culina-vetus.de/2026/07/18/h... #culinaryhistory #foodhistory #eattherich #gentrification
The Co-Operative Party getting it's first Prime Minister, 99 years after entering a permanent electoral pact with the Labour Party
