Congratulations to everyone who campaigned to defeat the Scottish Assisted Suicide bill - what a fantastic victory.

The Salisbury Review has a new X account. The latest edition of the magazine founded 40 years ago by Roger Scruton can be found here.

@BruvverEccles @UserName11163 We must meet one day!

@UserName11163 @PhilJC2 I have met several Catholics on Twitter in real life but not Phil so far.

Yes, it seems that he has been hacked. As a result he (or rather, his parasite) has blocked me.

@Yearns4Heaven Same!

@PhilJC2 I agreed to it initially but then I got a weird feeling

I think @EduardHabsburg has been hacked. Anyone else get a strange message from him asking to vote for him for some Podcast competition?

Does anyone have any way of contacting him and letting him know?

If you get a message from him DO NOT CLICK the link

@crean_fr @calvinrobinson @RestoreBritain_ Would make the Chartres pilgrimage much easier to fit in!

A request for @RestoreBritain_ when they form a government. Please restore Whit Monday as a public holiday, in place of the meaningless 'late May bank holiday'.

@suzania Yes!

I have become convinced that the way to deal with Modernity in general is to once per month at minimum immerse yourself in a situation where everything that your senses perceive is indistinguishable from what it would have been one thousand years ago

😆😆😆

@kalezelden @LNJStokes @MichalYouDoing

This movie is coming out in June. I hope it is good, but before you let Nolan colonize you with his images, take this chance to generate your own with a deep-dive into The Odyssey. Join me for live classes on April 7th. Sign up in reply

@kalezelden Ooooo

If this turns out to be a long drawn out war, and starts to be felt at the pump, in heating bills, and the food shop - Farage’s initial enthusiasm may come back to bite him.

@Babygravy9 Wish I had this when I was at uni

When I was at Cambridge studying anthropology and after a few months had become so sick and tired of being force-fed Foucault, Deleuze, Derrida, Agamben and Judith Butler, I read this Paglia essay and it provided me with great hope that real scholarship is still possible.

@ForPerspective @JoshuaTCharles Always wondered how the desert fathers managed it - looking at the ingredient list above - with a bit of oil and salt you are pretty well covered

@JoshuaTCharles This adds context to "One does not live on bread alone..." It seems that it was common knowledge in the ancient world that one could in fact live on bread alone for their temporal nutrition. Not so today with our dead industrial bread!

So I have been purchasing whole wheat berries and other grains (emmer/farro, which is closely related, and often used in bread in the ancient Roman world) from Azure Standard (link below), milling it myself (I got a Mockmill 200, link below), creating my own flour, then using it to bake my own bread. All the grains are organic, and come in bags of multiple pounds (I usually get 25 lb and 60 lb bags). The resulting bread not only tastes great, but is FAR more healthy than most modern “bread,” which in some ways I hesitate to call “bread,” because it often simply doesn’t include everything from the grain of wheat (usually only the starchy, carb-heavy part). The bread I’ve been able to bake is FAR more nutrient dense in every way. Not only that, but because it includes the entirety of the wheat, the absorption of the starchy (i.e. carb/“sugar”) part of the wheat into your bloodstream is far more regulated by all the fiber and protein that is also present (and modern “bread” lacks). There is a reason Our Lord called Himself the “Bread of Life,” and comes to us through bread in the Eucharist: because bread, when done the way God intended, is actually incredibly HEALTHY for us, contrary to the “bread” that modern industrial “food corp” has produced. For example, in one loaf of farro bread I make (which is simply my milled flour + yeast + salt + water), here is some of what you get: —1,200 calories total —52 grams of Protein —252 grams of Carbs (complex, nutrient dense) —40 grams of Fiber (more than the daily value) —470 mg of Magnesium (more than the daily value) —10-11 mg of Zinc (almost daily value) —1,450 mg of Potassium (1/3 daily value) —1,200 mg of Phosphorus (almost daily value) —Rich in B vitamins (daily value, or almost daily value for most) And all the fiber is extremely helpful for cultivating a healthy gut biome. Bread made from the hard red wheat, and similar kinds of wheat, is similar in its nutrition profile. RECIPE Here is the rough recipe I use for bread (I adjust it slightly based on the different types of grain I use). —3 cups flour —1.5 cups warm water —1 pack instant yeast (or 2.25 tsps) —1 tsp salt (though I’ve found more is just fine) Mix them all up. Roll into a ball as much as possible, and let it sit for an hour so the yeast can rise. After the hour, fold 10 times. Bake at 450 degrees in a glass container or Dutch Oven—covered for first 20 minutes, uncovered for last 10-15 minutes. You can either spray the container with oil (I usually use avocado oil), or use parchment paper (which I’ve been doing more frequently, and it works greats) I hoe this is a helpful start for the rest of you! BREAD THE WAY GOD INTENDED IT is incredibly tasty and HEALTHY for us. Azure Standard (for the grains): azurestandard.com Mill (Mockmill 200): mockmill.us/product/mockmi…

@JoshHochschild Saved me 2 minutes thanks

TLDR: Practice gratitude

@RosaryMum @TheNorfolkLion Morrisons or Sainsbury’s usually have it

@TheNorfolkLion I sometimes struggle to buy this milk because it’s sold out.

Full-fat Jersey milk demand is at its highest in nearly 50 years – and honestly, we all know why! Thanks to Bovaer, millions of us (including me!) ditched the mainstream stuff and switched to proper additive-free Jersey gold-top. That creamy taste, the richer nutrition, the real trust in what we're drinking... once you go Jersey, there's no going back to the normal stuff 🥛 Farmers are seeing massive growth – Ocado up 200%+, Tesco shifting millions more litres. People are waking up and choosing real food again. Shoutout to Bovaer for accidentally making us all upgrade our milk game forever 😂 Who's with me on sticking with Jersey for good?

@Peter88902568 @fleurmeston She’s out standing in her field

@fleurmeston There's a field of study for you.

There’s no better view I could wake up to than that from my childhood bedroom window

Credit where credit is due, @EnglishHeritage seem to have learnt from last year’s Easter debacle.
