A contender for the greatest cocktail in the world right now is the Buttery Charger at Il Mercante in Venice. Butter deep chilled with tequila, fig, sage, lime.. it was insane. Cc @BartenderAwards @TimeOutEatDrink

@LemonadaMedia Please can you share an RSS link for the Deep Dive with @MsJuneDiane & @Jessica_StClair? Now that Google Podcasts is deprecated, we need to manually add it to YouTube Music, and it isn't coming up in search there. Thank you!

Not just last week, but every week, there are opportunities for allyship to Muslims being targeted or harassed. Here's what to do if you see it:

As Israel massacres a hundred Palestinians in a school:

Never get used to this. Never normalise this. Never stop being shocked.

This is the situation we live in every night of bombing and terrorism in Gaza, with power outages and the necessities of life. Imagine that you live in Gaza and this is what you and your family are going through.💔💔
Everyone reposts so the world can see what's happening to us

@Andy Caroline why did you not go to on Jasmine's college tour, and prioritise your daughter's feelings and desire to spend time with you, over Sergio's jealousy? Beth in London

.@guardian Why are you using language like "anti-immigration protests"? It's not a protest, and it's not anti-immigration. It's fascist racism and Islamophobia. Are Ukrainians and French people targeted? Are they protesting the fact London is France's 6th biggest city by popn?

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

#BBCBreakfast using the term "anti immigration demonstrations"

Are Ukrainians being attacked? Are white Aussies working in bars being targeted? Or is it black & brown people, regardless of where they were born? & if its the latter is there a better word that can describe that?

Here is Ismail’s tribute to himself and the dying humanity.

“Let me tell you, my friend, that I no longer know the taste of sleep. The bodies of children and the screams of the injured and their blood-soaked images never leave my sight. The cries of mothers and the wailing of men who are missing their loved ones never fade from my hearing.

I can no longer bear the sound of children’s voices from beneath the rubble, nor can I forget the energy and power that reverberates at every moment, turning into a nightmare. It is no longer easy for me to stand before the rows of coffins, which are locked and extended, or to see the dead people more than the living who are fighting death beneath their homes, not finding a way out to safety and survival.

I am tired, my friend…”

When Russia bombs Ukraine, it's a "Russian airstrike"

When Israel bombs Gaza, it's a Gaza airstrike.

"Some children think that their legs might grow again. This is one of the saddest things that we hear on a regular basis.”

The war in Gaza makes life nearly impossible for disabled people. https://t.co/Dj4tz1UXxZ

Really, really thrilled to see @JamesTCobbler appointed for prison reform. Incredible decision. A proven expert, who understands the nature consequences of the prison system. Love this. Keep putting decent experts in positions of power @UKLabour 👏

Petition to have a huge nationwide party for David Attenborough NOW. So he knows how much he's loved and appreciated. Not when he's gone. @NikoOmilana @BBCNews

[Ashok Kumar | 🇵🇸 @broseph_stalin]

Labour forecasted to get a smaller share of the vote than Corbyn’s Labour did in 2017 and get fewer votes than Corbyn’s Labour did in 2017 and 2019

For anyone that went to see today's London matinee of Frozen, Elsa's dress was supposed to change dramatically during Let it Go. It didn't - you missed the key moment of magic #frozen #drurylane
