Hi Alice!

From a recipe for fish-and-fennel meatballs. " . . . shape into gobstopper-sized balls." Sometimes the @financialtimes.com forget that they serve a global audience.

Back in my day, it would snow multiple feet several times a year. School would be closed for 6-8-12 days. Power and water would be cut off. (Kerosene lanterns, fireplace, Nanna's well.) My parents and older brother shoveled snow of the roof to prevent it collapsing. Happy Camp, Ca. Check it out.

And really hard to count, compared to tree rings.

Or, maybe Musk is directly stating that this is the size of his penis compared to this testicles? Micro-Tesla?

I vaguely recall reading that EM is obsessed with being recognized as a comedian, i.e., that a lot of his self-worth is invested in it, if not derived from it. Giving his years of demonstrable non-talent, we can only expect his efforts to get more desperate and juvenile.

@jscott-galloway.bsky.social Happy to follow you, even if you're not the Scott Galloway I had in mind. You're certainly more Scottish than he is.

You could be right. But I'm holding out for the Supreme Court appeal.

Now you're toying with my emotions.

@davidbashford.bsky.social Hi David -- I was also at Forrester, 2008-2012. See here my snarky MOSS post. I'll connect on LI as well.

@petestaiano.com Old Harvard joke. "'Excuse me, can you tell me where the bookstore is at?' The Harvard senior replies, 'At Harvard, we don't end a sentence with a preposition.' The freshman says, 'Oh, right. Can you tell me where the bookstore is at, asshole?'"

I'm caught in a furious running battle between the 1am (CET) kick off of the Super Bowl and the very nice red wine I've been drinking since dinner.

"often does his hair" . . . wha?

I watched Super Bowl one (before they discovered Roman numerals) -- mic drop. (Not because my point was so impressive, just that I'm too old to hold up a mic.)

Wearing a t-shirt that's over half my age.

The policy implications may be dramatically overblown. I'll take your word for it. My concern are the electoral implications.

Apologies. Is there an italics option?

All that matters is NOT TRUMP. I hope (but doubt) that Biden can grasp that as well and know when to do the right thing if necessary.

@hangedman1984.bsky.social Please follow back, so we can grow this plant.

To help it grow, network-wise, I'm going to propose that whenever you like someone's something, you also follow them. But then, only you and my one other follower will see it . . . . 🤔

"Open to debate" does not equal "willing to be tied to the mast and forced to listen to every right-wing crackpot bleating fascist nonsense that -- worse -- he (always he, regardless of gender) usually knows to be false."

@guzz.bsky.social Hi Guzz -- Thanks for the follow. I'm envious of your 1.8k followers! I really hope we can make this place a non-toxic social exchange. Loving your b/w photos.

Pleasantly surprised that Forrester Research still displays my (admittedly timeless) 2009 post lamenting the passing of MOSS in favor of SharePoint. www.forrester.com/blogs/09-10-...

Just to be clear, there is still one (ONLY one) good reason to visit Twitter. (Not quite the first two chapters. If you make it through that much alive, contact me and I'll mail the rest.)

I didn't go to grad school for nine years in order to be algo-shamed for writing above an eighth grade level. And seriously, how depressing is this?

And yes, Michel Roux does have a couple of popular Skrei recipes on YT.

The salsa verde looks great. I think I'll try that tomorrow. Thanks!

@nicmiller.bsky.social -- Hi Nicola. Are you familiar with Skrei (Norwegian seasonal cod)? I get it every Saturday here in Berlin. A couple of my favorite preparations are with white beans and chorizo and with 24 hour miso-mirin-sake marinade. Now I'm looking for something new. Any ideas?
