@johnpaul_newman Magnificent map!

Practically my entire personality at this point :

@SamaHoole I call it AI slop

Mrs. Jenkins, 1970, walks down the high street with a wicker basket. - Beef topside from Mr. Pearson, for Sunday - Streaky bacon, sliced thick on the slicer - Lamb's liver for Tuesday tea - Pork sausages, made on the premises that morning - A whole chicken, giblets in a paper bag inside - Suet for the steak and kidney pudding - Butter wrapped in greaseproof paper - A wedge of Lancashire from the wheel - Two dozen eggs from the farm down the road - Double cream for the trifle - A pound of dripping in a stoneware pot, for the chips - Four kippers for Saturday breakfast - A loaf baked that morning, four ingredients Total: about £6. She fed a husband and three children for the week, with leftovers for Monday. Nobody was overweight. Nobody had high cholesterol. Nobody was on any pills. Her granddaughter, 2026, opens the Tesco app on the sofa. - Six chicken breasts, water-injected - "Low-fat" turkey mince - Yoghurts with 14 ingredients per pot - Flora "buttery" spread, palm oil and rapeseed - A bottle of skimmed milk - Pre-grated "mature" cheddar with anti-caking agent - Two ready meals branded "Healthy Living" - "No added sugar" cordial, three artificial sweeteners - "Soft white medium" loaf, eleven ingredients - "Fruit and nut" bars, glucose syrup and rapeseed oil - Squeezable mayonnaise - Pre-washed salad treated with chlorine - Olive oil, for the "Mediterranean" diet she read about Total: about £127. She feeds herself and her husband for three days and orders again on Wednesday. She is, in her early forties, on statins. Her husband is on metformin. The grandmother traded a butcher for a megafarm. A cheese counter for an anti-caking agent. A dairyman for a logistics chain. Dripping for rapeseed oil. A four-ingredient loaf for an eleven-ingredient one. A wicker basket for an app. She paid twenty times the price for worse food, less of it, and threw her health in as part of the deal. The supermarket called this progress. Mrs. Jenkins would have called it being had.

@MarkJCarney Keep going @MarkJCarney Canada will be in the Eurovision Song Contest next🎸🇨🇦

Landed in Yerevan, Armenia, for the 8th European Political Community Summit. This is the first time a non-European nation has taken part. Bound by shared values, Canada is working with our European partners to create more certainty, security, and prosperity for all our peoples.

@MirandaKitten Balmoral 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Chicken! What a truly excellent idea. Your invention or did it come from a Scottish cookbook?

Had to use up some haggis in the freezer. Made Balmoral Chicken (haggis stuffed chicken breast wrapped in bacon). Roast new spuds, green beans, asparagus, mashed swede and whisky cream sauce (pics before and after the addition of sauce) ... Yum 😋

@stuartthomas @BBCRadio3 @LNER Two Radio 3 nominations, impressive.

Delighted that Train Tracks, an all day broadcast on @BBCRadio3 from @LNER’s Inverness to London service as part of Railway 200, has been nominated for 2 Arias Awards - the Oscars of the radio and audio world.

@classicjacko @PetrocTrelawny @RadioTimes Voted. It was a beautiful and searing broadcast that I've never forgotten.

“A profoundly moving and meaningful piece of radio.” I am so pleased to see @PetrocTrelawny and team shortlisted for the @RadioTimes Radio Moment of the Year, for their extraordinary broadcast from Auschwitz on Holocaust Memorial Day. Vote here: radiotimes.com/audio/radio/ar…

@allhailtwit I don't think I'm seeing all of them, blame the algorithm. Please continue posting - love the city.

Berlin, 1964. I am posting my Berlin images less frequently because of the waning interest in them, evidenced by the fewer number of "likes". Although the "like" system is somewhat simplistic, it is the only measure I have of the level of interest. Thank you to all my friends.

@dlLambo Evidence for the trial

Hundreds of men murdered on an unarmed ship thousands of miles from Iran. Trump: "I said, 'Why don't we just capture the ship? He said, 'It's more fun to sink them." These are war crimes and they laugh like it's a computer game.

@MannGeorgia @BBCRadio3 @Spectator_LIFE Well done. I read the first part of your article that wasn't behind the paywall and totally agree. Radio has to evolve as the world changes to serve new audiences. The trick is to do it carefully - and you're achieving that. But it won't please everyone, more's the pity.

Morning All! I’m on my way back from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 so not on @bbcradio3 this morning. I wrote this for The Spectator ⁦@Spectator_LIFE⁩ Please read. I felt the need to respond to a certain line of criticism… spectator.com/article/stop-t…

@ForrestMark Nice while it lasted

Bye bye spring.

@RestIsPolitics Looking elegant - but where's your coat?

“This war started in 2014…” — Alastair explains why.

@MirandaKitten Courgette, like cauliflower, tastes far better roasted or baked than boiled and therefore soggy.

Crushed air fryered new potatoes, baked courgette, steamed peas & asparagus, pan fried lamb rump with mint chimmi churri... 😋

@rowlsmanthorpe A dehumidifier.

@SimonCalder Love the USA - but not going again for a while.

The US has immense cultural riches in its museums, mansions and cathedrals. Yet according to top tour guide James Hill, cultural tourists are staying away: “Increasingly, people are taking moral positions about where they go and how they spend their money” independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…

@Gracie_Blue89 The Trump version was amazing - this one doesn't work at all.

Wait until you see the Nigerian one 😳

@paullewismoney You're not wrong!

Today 19/2/26 is a B I G day for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor! An extra £9500 a year paid for by people at work today! It is his 66th birthday so he is entitled to his state pension which could rise to £9500 a year in April! Details of the calculation here bit.ly/4tFjCLU

The Japanese Trump is hilarious 😂

@g__j Cute 🐙

E.On is the biggest energy company in Germany, and the formerly nationalised incumbent. Genuinely classy from them (and rings true)...

@H6701 @chris_wordley @OctopusEnergy Me too 🐙

@chris_wordley @OctopusEnergy I’ve won 800 points once, but I do normally get 8 points

8 Octopoints won, swear down nobody ever wins a decent amount, fucking fix. @OctopusEnergy

@UZAmbassador You're right to be surprised. Uzb is slightly landlocked.

Pleasantly surprised to see Uzbekistan in Islands magazine! islands.com/2081507/visa-f…
