Unapologetic liberal here to play a part in bringing down the reign of far-right authoritarianism and ideology. Oh and, of course, FUCK TRUMP & MAGA! 💙💙🟦🟦🤗🤗

I have spent today mainly getting stuff wrong. But people have been very cheering. This splendid rosemary from @artefactual.bsky.social is wonderfully soothing. I may cocktail it at some point but for now it is a cooling room freshener

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

Turns out there was a Norwegian flag already there www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We are focused on peaceful rallies around the country. Our right to speak up – to rally and peacefully protest – is deeply rooted in our American values. We encourage everyone to find one of the peaceful events around the country. If you’re in the DC area, avoid his birthday parade. Nokings.org

My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

Let's be clear: deploying troops against Americans to silence dissent isn’t leadership, it’s tyranny.

Stanislav Petrov, the man who saved the world, died on this day in 2017. If you don’t know the story, just read this www.theguardian.com/world/2017/s...

Tortilla Pie is #RecipeOfTheDay! Well, it’s hardly a recipe: you line a shallow ovenproof bowl with a flour tortilla, add ham, crack in an egg, grate cheese over, top with another tortilla, and bake. There’s no reason you can’t fill it with whatever you want, frankly. www.nigella.com/recipes/egg-...

#RecipeOfTheDay is Lemon and Elderflower Pudding Cake, the perfect Sunday lunch pud! If it’s hot where you are – it’s a a dim, damp day here in Sydney – you may want to make the drizzle cake version of this (and it eat with berries): see instructions in recipe intro www.nigella.com/recipes/lemo...

American Breakfast Pancakes are #RecipeOfTheDay! And I hope you have a lovely weekend! www.nigella.com/recipes/amer...

This Massaman Beef Curry from my Simply book has only just been added to my website and, in celebration, it’s #RecipeOfTheDay! For maximum gorgeousness, I advise cooking it up to the point the potatoes go in a day or two in advance, adding them on reheating. www.nigella.com/recipes/mass...

If the GOP Tax Scheme is so beautiful, then why are they voting on it in the wee hours of the morning? Maybe because it’s irredeemably ugly and cruel.

Speaker Pro Tempore: You are to direct your comments to the chair. Jeffries: You know what's interesting? Every time I come on this floor, I can use sharp language, he can use sharp language, you choose to admonish me. I don't work for you sir. I work for the American people.

So: 1) Takes food from children 2) Gives the richest man in the world a tax cut 3) Makes the deficit worse

A better name for this bill is the big, ugly betrayal. Passed in the dead of night, it is a direct attack on working people and the essential services Americans rely on. And for what? To pay for tax cuts for billionaires. www.aft.org/press-releas...

If anything could get me to America these days, it would be to eat Paul Carmichael’s food again!

Greek Squid and Orzo is #RecipeOfTheDay, with eternal gratitude to @sturdyalex.bsky.social who brought the gorgeousness of giouvetsi into my life! www.nigella.com/recipes/gree...

Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.

Cassocks are red Conclaves are dope Wake up babe we got a

Whenever I read @beewilson.bsky.social, beyond being illuminated and uplifted by her enquiring intelligence, I’m always so grateful for the gentle grace of her company; it feels like being held in conversation with someone clever and kind who just understands what it feels like to be a person in 1/5

Eyes down, Conclave watchers! A few facts for your scorecards: - Shortest Conclave: 1503, three hours or so. - Longest Conclave: 1268, three years or so. - Last Conclave to elect someone from outside: 1378, Urban VI. - Last Pope to exhume his predecessor and put them on trial: Stephen VI, 897.

Found a grey eyelash this morning. Motherfucker. Grey. Eyelash. 🤣 aging is full of little surprises.

Tracking the slap part of THE END. Fun fact, I recorded the main tapping of the song, and the slap part with the Frankenstein! Makes me feel closer to Pop that such an important part of his history can live with mine every time I record ❤️

“Waaaaah…I don’t care if it’s a bribe. I WANT MY PLANE! Waaaaah 😭😭😭”

It’s the first Air Force One that comes with gold trim, mood lighting, and gold faucets to blind incoming missiles.

NEWS: U.S. and China agree to a 90-day pause on new tariffs after shipping to U.S. ports plummeted. Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut from 145% to 30%. Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%. If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?

From the department of pep and zing, Tequila and Lime Chicken is #RecipeOfTheDay! www.nigella.com/recipes/tequ...

#RecipeOfTheDay is my suggestion for an undemanding but deeply rewarding Sunday supper or breakfast: Parmesan French Toast (Italian Toast?) www.nigella.com/recipes/parm...

I’m in Australia, where #DemocracySausage is on the menu today, though my #RecipeOfTheDay is Halloumi Bites, suitable for election-night viewing here or long-weekend festivities at home! www.nigella.com/recipes/hall...

Pope Francis was a visionary leader who dedicated his life to service and justice. He encouraged us to protect our planet, championed a more inclusive church, and cared for all of God’s children — especially the most vulnerable among us. Doug and I join the world in mourning his loss.

“As someone who has worked in Hollywood I legitimately have no idea what this even means or how it would even be implemented. I assume it’d be a tariff on production costs, which if so, would totally screw the industry." - Brett Meiselas

Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today: He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution He’s fine with a recession Americans can do with less Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

If you ever wondered what malignant narcissism + megalomania + congenital lying + substance abuse + greed + cognitive decline + 4 hair transplants + orange makeup + heel lifts in an ill-fitting suit looks like, now you know.

These guys can’t wait to vote again. Which is why YOU have to vote, citizen. 🫵🏻

I’m all for Democratic House Rep. Jasmine Crockett for the Dem. ranking member of the House Oversight Committee. AOC needs to focus on running for the Senate.

Red Toryism. Mark Carney is not wasting any time launching an ambitious mandate by July 1st. "The 2025 results appear to bear this out. Voters did not reject conservatism, they rejected the nasty, angry, narrow variant of it that Poilievre had come to represent." open.substack.com/pub/aletterf...
