What makes “The Great British Bake Off” so beloved is that it’s one of the most successful unscripted shows of the century and still feels like an underdog. Ruby Tandoh, a former contestant, shares stories from inside the tent.

Personally I think the real concern is that the GOP believes most people hate California and DC and thinks they (we) deserve whatever we get and Dems don’t want to defend “liberal establishments.”

Ohhhhh… That’s why I can’t get an offer on my house that I’ve had on the market for almost four months. Because the market’s leveling off and people can afford houses now. Not because of instability caused by tariffs. Makes total sense 😵💫🙄
