Hey, The Guardian, it's not the people enjoying time with family and friends who are 'destroying the meaning of Christmas'

@inscius Cats work for me 🐱

@inscius I get the same sometimes. I run a VPN at all times and am sure it's to 'encourage' people to create an account to gather as much data as possible

Why only sometimes, makes less sense 🤔

Convicted terrorist sues pub landlord for ‘deeply offensive' sign that 'scares' him

A terrorist who spent four years in jail is suing a Buckinghamshire pub after taking offence to the "racist depiction of a bearded Arab/Turk" on its sign.

I made too many Gingerbread figures 😳

Followed the recipe quantities but underestimated how many I'd end up with - this is only about 30% of the total number I ended up making

On the plus side, they taste good 😋

Wow, this is some quality, in-depth reporting about the (alleged) Southport stabber

Long read but worth it 🤯

"I have collated a dossier addressing each of the major allegations and concerns the public has about the attack, Axel Rudakubana and his family’s history, the nature of the cover-up, the extent to which the Establishment are either complicit or have played an active role in the cover-up, and (most importantly) why they have decided to orchestrate a cover-up."

A Netflix series which depicts the lesser-known snow-capped mountains of Norfolk has whipped up a flurry of fun on social media.

The famously flat county features in a new six-part drama about the life of Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna, who honed his craft in Norfolk in the early 1980s.

Viewers did a double-take when they spotted a range of rugged peaks beyond Snetterton, with the race circuit poking fun at the "unusually mountainous" scene.
