I think I want to make a beef bourguignon over the holidays. Anyone have a favorite recipe that isn't five hours long?

One of these days, Okta is going to wait until I am not in the middle of doing something before logging me out.
Not today, apparently. But one of these days.

I once live-tweeted our attempt to cancel a mis-sold Virgin Media contract.
It went viral to such a level that eventually the CEO had to call me personally to apologize for how fucking awful they are. Just to give them some modicum of a PR save they could use to counter the massive negative press.

underrated feature of old twitter was people with a decent following being able to bully brands into acting right

This is excellent. @caraellison.bsky.social is a great talent and deserves all the recognition.

Loving the recent dev diaries for @victoria.paradoxinteractive.com, and low key excited about this map revision to South Africa. More African nations, more divided Boer states.

St Catherine is one of the major “virgin martyrs” and was condemned after defeating all opponents sent against her in a mass debate of Christians vs Romans. Patron saint of a lot of scholarly things, including my former graduate college.
She allegedly wards off tongue diseases.

today is the feast of St Catharine of Alexandria, patron of female scholars, so enjoy this painting of her shutting down a senior prof who treated her paper's question time as an opportunity to hold an impromptu paper of his own

Apart from anything else, claiming that monarchies have "endless time-horizons" is pretty ignorant of the history of, well, any monarchy.
They are hugely unstable – and collapse constantly!
Ask the Stuarts how they're doing, or the Bourbons. I think one of the Hapsburgs has a pizza food truck.

![R. H. Bing (October 20, 1914 – April 28, 1986)[1] was an American mathematician who worked mainly in the areas of geometric topology and continuum theory.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreid62wy3dekb2kzbisjfdlimlb35j4rlgew5iof7vi32byfszmg26a@jpeg)
![Bing's father was named Rupert Henry, but Bing's mother thought that "Rupert Henry" was too British for Texas. Thus she compromised by abbreviating it to R. H.[5] Consequently, R. H. does not stand for a first or middle name.
When Bing was applying for a visa, he was requested not to use initials. He explained that his name was really "R-only H-only Bing", and ended up receiving a visa made out to "Ronly Honly Bing".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreigmfj53q4uy33spga2bxdkllqm3ag5sffovg5g7ddmu3vqzkb6k24@jpeg)

Ok I checked and no, Andrew Tate hasn't posted that it's gay for straight men to have a girlfriend.
If you haven't seen the post about this that's doing the rounds, then this is not something you need to know about. Carry on.

A movie that takes place where you're from.
Movies set in New Brunswick, let alone Miramichi, are very few and far between. Mostly left with a couple of film adaptations of David Adams Richards.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been grumpled all weekend, but I just can’t get into the Burns American Revolution series.
It’s mostly leaving me cold, and I’m not sure it’s because I am already very familiar with all this story or I’m just not in the right headspace for it.

The “google is using your email to train AI” debacle is imo most instructively seen as tracer dye for multiple failures: many people are instinctively skeptical of tech companies now; and many outlets that should have had experts able to cogently weigh in and go “wait a minute” simply don’t anymore.
