On a white dish, some purple spaghetti in a purple sauce, topped with shreded raw steak and toasted almonds

Celebrating the anniversary of that time I ate this spaghetti in Florence

"OMG he's still talking!"

The journalist probably called the landlord expecting a terse "no comment". Imagine her delight when he she realised she'd struck gold

We've got to stop thinking fascism is dark magic, like it's evil but it works, so decent people must agree not to use it. It doesn't work. Every fascist society ever has contained the seeds of its own destruction. We oppose it not because it works, but because too many people suffer while it fails

And it uses the same scoring system as road bowling

Golf probably the posh version of this

Reached a milestone today that I remember my Dad reaching at my age: can't watch hurling without glasses because the ball is too small

Always be nice to and about kids you encounter out and about. The kids deserve it and the parents love it

And you were right to do it!

200ml can of Sierra Nevada Pils poured into a slim glad of the type common in German bars and cafés

You can now enjoy the classic German tiny beer at home

There's always been a niche for opinion columnists who pretend they're not right-wing - "anti-genocide protestors need to be fed into a wood-chipper. I say this as a liberal"

I think maybe JD Vance has decided to be one of them, but for Catholicism

Lol there was a lot of that about alright. The "Alt" was a misnomer, they were selling a gimmick to rock fans rather than offering country fans an alternative to the Nashville mainstream

‘I was peeing blood’ My ketamine hell – and what made me stop

Was it the peeing blood thing?

Roman citizens attending Emperor Nero's musical performances often resorted to extreme measures to escape, including feigning death so they could be carried out of the theatre

I think there's an assumption that's it's always worth a try and that there are no potential downsides

"militant action has won concessions" could as easily be said about burning down IPAS Centres. I have a lot of time for Paul but this is hopelessly naive

Played the lottery numbers JD Vance gave me and the convenience store owner shot me

I feel like we haven't focused enough on how the not-Orban guy is actually named "Magyar"

Fixing the blocked toilet by shitting in it

White House officials said they would defer to President Trump, who traveled to Florida for the weekend to attend an Ultimate Fighting Championship match, to announce the administration’s next move.

Quite possible he's already forgotten Iran even exists

I logged into X a while back to deactivate my account. Took one last look around and I swear to god I was clench-fisted, heartrate-elevated *furious* after like 5 minutes. Can't be healthy

This is quite damning

This was exactly my thought, including the Brexit parallel. A failure to recognize that your enemies are on the march

Fwiw I think the government took the right approach here - talking to reasonable elements and doing a deal, then using limited force to move the unreasonable elements. It just shouldn't have taken all week

"Charity ends at home" would be more honest

This guy's like Stevie Wonder in the 70"s, just effortlessly dropping bangers, one after another

I personally oppose the use of state violence to break up protests, but of course exceptions must be made in cases where it would be funny

Funniest thing is that every single one of these protesters has spoken the words "you know what they should do? They should call the army in" at least once in their lives

Part of me wants it to stay that way as Trump's most subtle self-own

Call in air strikes
