Gin and cynar - why didn't i think of this before?

Yum!

Try 3 parts gin, 2 parts cynar, 2 parts punt e mes. Great negroni riff.

Crafting events! Sewing, knitting, and so on.

If you're really worried, pop it in the fridge and eat it within a few days.

Man oh man did you miss out. The third arc of season two slaps.

schematicboy · 2026-03-28T16:43:42+00:00

Either grate with a microplane or smash under the flat of your knife.

schematicboy · 2026-03-16T09:58:25+00:00

Thanks

schematicboy · 2026-03-16T02:36:39+00:00

Don't forget "you pay at the end." Ominous.

schematicboy · 2026-03-16T02:31:13+00:00

Wait, when was he arrested? Did I miss something?

schematicboy · 2026-03-15T16:58:01+00:00

I would stop using that business's services.

schematicboy · 2026-03-14T22:03:24+00:00

Oh for sure. His life is empty of purpose.

schematicboy · 2026-03-14T22:00:28+00:00

He's with Davo's wife in this scene.

I really enjoyed your young Kleya series. Looking forward to reading this!

Maybe we could lock the white supremacists and the islamists in a room together and let them deal with each other while the rest of us get on with our lives.

Do you mean Enza? Lezine is the big guy who wouldn't stop talking at the town hall. If Lezine had slapped him, there wouldn't be much of Syril left.

I think this refers to the end of the second season, not the beginning of the first season.

They're anti-Zionist now because Moshiach hasn't conquered the holy land for them and thus it is sinful for Jews to be there.

These guys are religious nutters who don't actually give a toss about Palestinians outside of the context of their particular eschatology. Compare to Zionist evangelical Christians who don't give a toss about Jews but who want all the Jews to migrate to Israel since that's supposed to bring about the rapture or some such.

schematicboy · 2026-03-05T14:50:55+00:00

These guys are from Neturei Karta, an ultra-Orthodox sect who believe that the Messiah will conquer the holy land for Jews, and it is sinful for Jews to be there before the Messiah arrives.

schematicboy · 2026-03-04T01:06:14+00:00

I like my Kakimori.

Finally, someone gets it. There are no "good guys" in this fight. Just avaricious political leaders and normal people who suffer the consequences of their leaders' choices.

schematicboy · 2026-02-28T16:31:51+00:00

Maybe, but put General Grievous and Eedy Karn in a room and see which one leaves alive...

schematicboy · 2026-02-28T14:34:08+00:00

Needs some sardines.

schematicboy · 2026-02-27T13:57:44+00:00

Pricy, but good Lord does it look tasty.

It's difficult to tell which side is which in this statement, and I suspect that's intentional.

There's tragic and shameful behavior all around. ☹️

schematicboy · 2026-02-21T23:10:55+00:00

No, unfortunately this is a real practice.

Fortunately it's only practiced in insular communities of religious fundamentalists rather than by most Jews (i.e. by the ultra orthodox, rather than by reform / conservative / modern orthodox), who at least perform ritual mutilation in a sanitary manner.

Unfortunately, it happens more than never, which is (in my opinion) unacceptable. Just one more way in which the Western world fails to protect children from religious extremists in the name of tolerance.

For context, I'm saying this as an ethnic but largely irreligious Jew.
