Beef and broccoli
Not my best work, but Kenji Lopez Alt’s beef and broccoli recipe is one of my favorites. My only modification is about 60 grams of gochujang in the sauce.
Give it a go if you have a chance. Fries back up nicely for leftovers if you leave the broccoli slightly underdone.
Edit: autocorrect murdered my last sentence
Pliny does not approve of his antibiotics
I thought seafood flavor would be better than the “chicken marshmallow” they gave him last time. He’s letting me know how entirely wrong I was in that choice.
To be fair, it smells awful. I’d probably make the same face.
Pliny got a desktop bed for Christmas
It keeps him off of my keyboard while I play games, so it’s really a present for both of us!
Most Portuguese kitties
This kitty stopped to stare and pose, but did not let us pet. 😢
Portugal has plenty of kitties to pet
This dude didn’t want us to leave. He kept nibbling at my hand when we’d stop petting him.
Portuguese Cat
His mom ran away when we walked up, but he was pretty chill.
Choosing wine for the table
I took this a few years back at an outdoor dinner at this restaurant in the hills in Tuscany. Dude hopped up and sat in front of the wine list. Best dinner guest ever!
Pliny is also from the outside
Found him frozen in the middle of winter and thought he was dead. Bottle fed him, and now I have a 12 year old permakitten that hops on me any time I sit down anywhere.
Dinner guest cat in Mugello, Italy
I gave her a little bit of our duck carpaccio.

That’s 76cm x 102cm for folks not using freedom units.
Lemmy, AITA for disliking copied content from Reddit in the AmITheAsshole community?
So, I get that someone is trying to populate this community with posts using the lemmit.online bot. And that the vast majority of us are coming from Reddit. And that AITA is a staple community that we’re used to seeing in our feeds.
However, it seems like that just copying content into an otherwise empty community is just feeding a sterile wasteland. There is almost no engagement on the copied posts, and worse: I think it will smother any actual new content that gets posted in this wasteland of copied content. (I stand corrected, after trying to post this there I found out that only mods have priveleges to post. It’s worse than I thought, and I’ll probably just block it from my feed if it’s only a Reddit echo chamber)
What do you think, AITA?
