There’s something really distinctly American about OPLA Sanji arguing with Zeff over what food he wants to make because ignoring the fact that he never did this in the manga… Since when was his character about rebelling and growing out of Zeff’s shadow? Wasn’t he holding himself back because he thought he owed his life to Zeff? Why would he disrupt the Baratie’s operations with his supposedly very innovative dish, resulting in it getting thrown away and WASTED?? Why did they frame Zeff as an old and unskilled chef that had to be surpassed by his “better” protege??? Animanga Sanji was a little shit but he was also the sous chef for a reason, he’s not some wannabe new talent who wants to perform?? Did they do all this just so they can skip over all the Gin/Don Krieg stuff? Just to clog up the runtime with Nami “bonding” with Zoro and reading him a bedtime story?

I just bought Caitríona's gin. A bottle of gin + the ship to Germany the total was £ 91.80. I thought it would be more difficult to order this batch, but everything worked quickly. I was afraid because I will never forget the confusion on Twitter when Sam launched the Whisky and I saw people who were friends fighting because one bought 2 bottles and didn't even like Whisky while the other, who was almost an expert in whisky, couldn't buy any😬🤣😂😂 (but that's another story). I also don't know how many bottles were available to pre-order within 48 hours.

Gin is one of my favorite drinks (and I don't have many favorite drinks), but I think that over time and by trying to innovate, some gin manufacturers have managed to make many of these drinks taste similar to tea with alcohol. So when I bought the first batch of FMN, I was a little afraid of being disappointed, but I was actually very pleased with the taste of this gin. It's smooth and yet full of character. It's also good for cocktails, although I'm of the old school of tonic, lemon, and ice. I'm not the type who loves Whisky and unfortunately Sam's Whisky can't be sold here, but I had the pleasure of drinking a Smoky Martini made with FMN and SS (Forever grateful my friend😉) and I can say that they go together perfectly. I tried to make it here using FMN and another whisky, and the taste was not the same...Must be Glasgow laws😅🤣

“It works very well for the industry to frame every technology that they put out into the world — whether it’s crypto or generative AI, or whatever else — as an innovation that we must pursue,” Paris Marx, host of the Tech Won’t Save Us podcast, tells me. “But Silicon Valley and venture capitalists are not actually interested in developing technology for the betterment of society . . . What they’re interested in is making money off of whatever hype cycle they are going to gin up next.” Sometimes the problem with innovation is that while the idea in question might be new, it is not actually very useful: it is a solution looking for a problem, as in the case of blockchain technology. And sometimes the problem is that the innovation, while not without its uses, is incredibly harmful: synthetic opioids have provided millions of people with pain relief, but they have also created an overdose epidemic, killing almost 80,000 Americans in 2022 and helping to drive US life expectancy down to a 25-year low. Why is it, therefore, that we have come to see “innovation” as such an unalloyed good, and why is “stifling” it so unequivocally bad? Surely the objective of the innovation — and the possible repercussions — should matter, too. Innovation might be crucial in making progress in all sorts of areas, such as medicine or science, but we seem to have got to a place where it is the idea itself that we venerate. That is wrong-headed: innovation should not be seen as an end in itself, but as a means of making something better. Crypto might be novel but that does not make it useful or valuable to society. We cannot go on imagining that all innovation is a force for good. In practice, “innovation” often just means exploiting gaps in existing rules until the regulators catch up — so called “regulatory arbitrage”, a strategy that the crypto industry has very successfully deployed and indeed relied upon. Unfortunately for these ingenious crypto “innovators”, catching up is exactly what regulators are now doing.

warm

warnings: drinking, fashion references, swearing, yeehaw! matty’s hands, a sprinkle of doom and almost no dialogue. Enjoy!

Matty’s rugged hand reached out to Thea as she took a final, long sip of her admittedly quite shitty gin and tonic. They had gone out to a different bar that evening, Matty grumbling about how he could just make her drinks at home and they'd be worlds better than whatever the young trainee bartender could whip up. She giggled at this and pleaded with him to get dressed and put on his nicest pair of boots - preferably ones without mud stains. He agreed to go under one condition, that he pick her outfit for this particular outing.

The outing in question? A line dancing night with a live band and $5 drinks. To be honest, nothing sounded better to Thea than cheap alcohol and loud music and Matty’s large hands on her hips after the week she’s had at work. Khaite had pulled out of a spread about how higher end, quite luxurious designers were now entering the denim game. This left Thea scrambling as she had to track down new jeans to feature in her piece and ones that would especially photograph well. Her and her team had ended up landing on Bottega Venetta’s denim printed leather pants and how seemingly from a distance, they are jeans up until you are able to touch and feel them. The likes of Kate Moss and Kendall Jenner had been seen wearing them. It was a wonderful innovation and far more worthy of the magazine space than the regular khaite jeans. A trick on the eyes, like Matty.

When they had met, Thea assumed Matty would be your typical Texan cowboy who was stiff and tight lipped and totally disinterested in anything that went against the usual machismo that came with that title. As the weeks progressed, she had learned that Matty was very interested in her job and what she did for a living and her world, additionally he was a phenomenal dancer and a breathtaking guitar player. After work sometimes, he would play her a lullaby on his acoustic or they’d dance around half-drunk in her kitchen to everything from Buddy Holly to Bruce Springsteen.

He was an enigma, just as she was.

Since knowing each other, Thea had become fond of Matty’s little surprises. Always keeping her guessing. He was a hidden gem, a diamond in the rough. Externally, he was the typical Texan guy… imagine Ennis from Brokeback Mountain, completely disinterested in dealing with his own emotions and confronting them. However, the few times Thea had caught Matty singing softly late at night while strumming away it was like she had an MRI of his heart, able to see every nook and cranny of him, every last thing he held dear. He was unexpectedly tender.

Even now as he held her while they danced to the sounds of bluegrass, the fabric of her soft, feminine, embroidered pink dress crinkled under his calloused hands. It was frilly, it was delicate, it was vintage Valentino - all things Thea loved. It swung around just above her knees as Matty swayed and moved behind her. It was his favorite dress of hers, that was another thing Thea had learned… Matty loved vintage shopping and finding clothes that seemed from another time. He loved an old beat up pair of Levis that fit him perfectly and he especially found joy in finding flannel shirts from the 80s. They had made a deal to pick out the other’s outfit and Thea had really done some of her finest work. A perfectly worn white tee shirt, dark navy straight leg Levis 501s, a silver and brown chunky western belt and a beautiful gray Prada sweater. Perfectly Matty. Her cowboy.

It was as she took in her surroundings and fully drank in the moment that she felt his warm breath hit the shell of her ear. It ghosted over her skin, the smell of his Tom Ford cologne filling the air around the two, she immediately felt heady and warm. Drunk on the feeling of him and no longer on the shitty fucking drink. Her feet stumbled a bit as they continued trying to keep up with the group line dancing around them. Music drowning out his voice and yet she still heard him clear as a bell…

“Be my baby… Thea, be mine.”

“Happily, my love.” Fuck it, into her doom she went - head full of dreams and optimism. Head full of him. What a fool.

GOD AUUUUUUU

Flameheart: God of War and Fire. He and Ramsey were the first two gods of the realms. Originally just the god of war, he absorbed the title of god of fire after killing the other god ( who just so happened to be one of Junior's parents ). His patron animal was the dragon, but over time the entire species went extinct due to hunting by Ramsey's people. In retaliation, Flameheart had his followers kill all griffins -- resulting in both becoming weaker. Flameheart mostly remains out of mortal affairs, living in an estate within his territory, appearing as a regular man who strangely has lived for generations upon generations. He is the overall arching god of the realm, but there are temples dedicated to the other gods within his hoard. He will, however, get involved in mortal affairs if 1) given enough offerings to bless one faction over the other 2) they start to question his rule or threaten his territory or 3) just influence a few people to go to war to keep his strength going. He takes in Junior after the death of their parents, however, Junior was taken from a mortal family with Flameheart not knowing the kiddo is a godlet. Continues raising them with Junior being none the wiser that their papa is the war god, and that the others around are also gods. His godly creature form is a mix between a dragon and basilisk, his wings over time being more used as arms to move around as he begins to forget how to fly. And for once, he is the largest out of the group in his godly form, but still pretty short when appearing human. The best offerings for him are rum, gold and jewels, well aged weapons, blood, and even life sacrifices.

Chi: God of Chaos and Destruction. The last of Flameheart's main gods to appear in the realms, and the last of the five to gain their second affiliation. They are an absolute handful at the start, often getting involved in the affairs of mortals just to create more chaos. Needed to be reined in by Flameheart since too many humans were getting killed by accidents. They had to be trained up by Flameheart to control their strength especially when the "argument" was happening between him and Ramsey since it did cause a lot of chaos and in turn strengthening Chi. Had to learn that chaos in small bursts is beneficial to the mortals, and without the mortals, they would lose their strength. Their patron animal is the crocodile, which are very abundant around their temple -- a place where many baby crocodiles are kept until they are old enough to be on their own. Which is also the creature they turn into and often just trot around carrying the baby crocs in their mouth like mother crocs do. However, they will attack humans or other gods that get too close to the estate without being welcomed. Best offerings for them are spicy foods, rum and teas, blood, sacrifices, and charcoal.

Ruth: God of Alchemy and Metal. Very neutral most of the time as long as you don't annoy her or get in her way of progress. She meshes very well with Duchess and later on Junior due to the overlap of their affiliations. She loves the curiosity of mortals, but often finds herself getting irritated when said mortals start to invade her own practices or try to one-up her. Mortals often worship her for innovations in medicine and often alongside Grimm for proper structuring of their towns and cities. Her patron animal is the owl, once again often found around her temple. There are a particular set of owls that have brilliant red eyes that act as surveillance for her -- mostly used in finding new ingredients for her brews or to ensure there are no invaders within her Captain's realm. Still an excellent tactician like she is in the main verse. Offerings for her include herbs, gold, silver, iron, bronze, gin, and berry mixes.

Duchess: God of Magic. Not a huge fan of mortals especially as they start leaning more towards science than her magic. Mostly keeps out of the affairs of mortals, lest they are witches who seek to learn her knowledge and use it. Her magic varies from healing to causing problems for others -- although curses are left for Gideon to deal with. She mostly hangs around Flameheart's territory, although not always around him and the others. Duchess mostly prefers to wander about and be alone, occasionally coming to the estate in the later years to experiment alongside Ruth or help train Junior. Her patron animal is the crow. Intelligent, often misconstrued to be omens of disaster or ill-fates, but crafty and can hold grudges. She uses her crows to carry messages but also gifts like ingredients for Ruth/Junior or if some idiot gives one of Gideon's offerings to her ( gets annoyed that people often confuse the two of them ) Her offerings are bones, blood, wine, ashes, herbs, and rare inks.

( @wraheathcliff )

Heathcliff grinned. "I'm a terrible card player." he lied. "But if you ever needed me to examine you, I do hold myself to the highest ethical standards." he lied, again.

"I empathize with your king's emotions but not his actions. Fears of genocide and plague are blinding. But isolationism stagnates everyone, impeding survivability and innovation to a crawl. Losing allies means you'll have to have one hell of a relationship with the gods or die relenting for them. I've lived through centuries of this thinking, and it always ends the same way. As he discovered, eventually."

Heathcliff pulled out a fresh bloodthistle cigarette from a silver case on the table and lit it, offering it to Gin. He hesitated, and gestured to a wooden box with a wolf carved into it. He leaned in a bit towards her.

"Or I can roll you a moonleaf one..." he said with a grin.

"Tell me... when was the first time you realized there was more out there, beyond the broken walls?"

“Mm, sure ‘at’d be a terrible ‘ardship fer ya,” she teased, accepting the cigarette this time, smirking around it as she placed it between her lips and took a drag. She exhaled the smoke upwards, watching it disappear into the darkness as she offered it back to Heathcliff.

When was the first time she’d realized there was more out there? On some level, she’d always known - or at least hoped. There had to be something outside of the walls, the mountains, and the coastline blocking them in, right?

“Wus patrollin’ along th’Wall,” her fingers picked at a thread on her trousers as she thought back, speaking to the ceiling. “Saw a few arrows ‘at weren’…Gilnean. No’ quite anyway.” She frowned as she thought back. “Worked fer th’bastard, unfortunately. Cut ties as soon as ah could once we go’ out.”

Another sigh was given, rolling her head back to look towards the man watching her with interest. “There were…other events ‘at confirmed it, course.”

📣📣📣 Mixology News on The Today Show 📺 SH’s new trend for 2025 Cocktails recipe book and Bar Management with Focus attention on Sassenach drinks.

Sam Heughan’s book about Cocktails coming in November. Celebratory drinks for Sam’s fans who don’t consume alcohol or don't know how to drink? How to Drink Without Drinking.

I wonder if this cocktail book is the result of visits to bars with bartenders working behind their bars making cocktails and promoting Sassenach drinks (whisky, gin and tequila) along with some mixologist influencers with their own business based on their art, which SH posted on his IG and has taken advantage of the skills of others to prepare his cocktails online.

Any bartender worth his salt knows how to open a cocktail shaker and give some tips. We hope Sam learns to open a cocktail shaker by the end of this year! 😂 There is still time.

In the meantime, “No acting jobs” He has more interest in doing recreational cocktails!🍹

Sam Heughan stops by Studio 1A Today Show

** If he tries appealing to a new audience with this book it will not come easily and this not hone his cocktail-making skills. But, SH’s fans are waiting to explore the book, and where the money comes from 💁‍♀️

[pomegrnteseed]

I really love heist films. Here's how I'd set up the HP cast in a magical heist scenario:

Hermione Granger: the brains of the operation, former lover of Blaise Zabini, struggles to let others take on planning responsibilities. Gets Shit Done. Will never take on an apprentice. Outstanding strategist and extremely well connected, with allies in the unlikeliest of places. Learned magical mapmaking from Remus Lupin, and several other things besides. Closet adrenaline junkie. Openly disparaging of high society. Considers herself a liberator of fine arts. Donates generously to social impact projects.

Blaise Zabini: reputable conman and first class fixer, smooth talker, typically in charge of sourcing financing for larger operations and always negotiates extremely good deals. Head over heels for stay-at-home husband Ron and brings home a trinket from every country he visits, even if there's no passport stamp to prove it.

Ron Weasley: zero interest in heists, but hosts regular Sunday dinners with crews when they're on a job locally (no shop talk at the table) to remind them all that there's more to life than getting one over on the misogynistic moneyed pricks who hoard priceless art and jewels for bragging rights' sake.

Seamus Finnegan: explosions expert, eternal bachelor, his dyslexia and dyspraxia led him to building a wholly unique labelling code that inadvertently means he's irreplaceable. Created three innovative corrosive or inflammatory chemical compounds by accident at his kitchen table. On seventeen watchdog lists internationally, has his mail interfered with regularly (so he makes sure to buy some bizarre items to keep the police guessing).

Neville Longbottom: resident hacker and safecracker, particularly skilled with untangling pureblood protections, something of a fixer. Has a mutually beneficial ✨arrangement✨ with Hermione. He has been cultivating a curse-detecting sentient plant to aid his work, but as of yet the seedlings are proving... Unruly.

Charlie Weasley: the getaway guy. A bit mysterious, doesn't say much (unless the good whisky's been cracked open). Sings to himself while he's deep in thought. Lusting after Harry James Potter.

Pansy "Parks" Parkinson: con artist with a proficiency for fake identities and building believable backstories. Only in it for the thrill and to fuck over the patriarchal pureblood upper crust she was stifled by as a younger woman. Rarely without a cigarette in hand.

Luna Lovegood: surveillance whizz, sees things no one else spots. Attuned to pattern recognition, enjoys mixing divination arts with her camera work (much to Hermione's chagrin, it's very effective). Waiting for Gin to realise they're destined to fall in love.

Gin Weasley: the muscle. They're unmatched in speed and agility, and chronically underestimated given their lithe stature. And though they're not often needed, they like knowing they're the protector for the motley crew.

Hannah Abbott: extraordinary artificer, far outranking anything the Weasley twins could rustle up. Calls her wife Millie her lucky charm. Weaves magic and technology together with impeccable precision.

Daphne and Astoria Greengrass: fixers, a little unsettling in their telepathic communication style, but largely trustworthy and reputable. Astoria is engaged to Gregory Goyle. She'll tell him after the wedding vows protect them both from implicating the other in crimes.

Greg Goyle: has no idea his fiancée spends her days rubbing elbows with crooks and criminals. He's too busy building his magical art restoration business. On the downlow, he cases potential marks for his buddy Blaise. Because that's what friends do.

Harry Potter: fully aware of Hermione's hijinks, can't bring himself to worry too much because she's scarily smart and wouldn't take kindly to such a condescension. Lets her use him as scouting and surveillance distraction on occasion because he misses the high life but he's too fucking tired to get involved, tbh. Enjoys the perks of her snark and sneakery at boring galas, and occasionally helps Ron in the kitchen for heist roast dinners, his homemade Yorkshire puddings are unmatched.

The mark: Malfoy Manor

The vague idea: A magical relic of great historical significance is said to be hidden in the bowels of the ancestral Malfoy home. Hermione, loathe as she is to return to the building that still occasionally haunts her dreams some twenty years later, agrees with Blaise that the cut - 10 million gallons - is too great to pass up. But it also means having to rub elbows with Draco at ministry affairs and high society dos alongside Parks. Research will take her on something of an adventure through ministry archives, a tour of crumbling castles in the Scottish Highlands, and dredging a lake the arse-end of Wales for the necessary components her team require in assembling the perfect plan. Unfortunately, Draco has repeatedly legitimate reasons to appear at each location, threatening the op before it takes off. With her crew assembled and financing secured (though Blaise is tight lipped on the identity of their benevolent benefactor), they plot to break into Britain's most heavily fortified home to seek a treasure they're not even fully sure exists: Pair Dadeni, the cauldron of rebirth.

(obvs I'm thinking endgame Dramione, but I also kinda like the idea of a lil Draco x Neville x Hermione triad, honestly.)
