There are so many streaming options nowadays that have, in my opinion, completely eclipsed Netflix when it comes to content that justifies ballooning prices. What was once the premium destination for streaming just hasn’t been able to keep up. I actually think there’s an argument to be made that Apple TV+ has become the new home for prestige TV offerings, especially considering how many excellent sci-fi shows it has invested a lot of money in. But I also wouldn’t count Netflix completely out yet, either. December is poised to be a big month for the company, with a ton of…
Key Takeaways Bourdain’s cranberry relish uses just cranberries, a whole orange, and a cup of sugar.Pulse raw fruit in a food processor — no cooking needed — for effortless, fresh relish.Let it chill at least overnight (or a few days) — flavor improves over time. Of all the foods I looked forward to around the holidays as a kid, cranberry relish was at the bottom of the list. My family rarely had it at the dinner table, so my understanding of its magic was pretty much non-existent. For a long time my relationship with cranberries consisted of cranberry juice and…

And they’re bringing in the big guns – not just Joanna Lumley, Russell T Davies and Mark Gatiss, but the iconic Pat Butcher, back at Albert Square and The Queen Vic for the first time in a decade (and the second time since being killed off).Lumley leads the marquee production, an adaptation of E. F. Benson’s 1912 short story The Room in the Tower, which becomes the 18th instalment in the BBC’s long-running A Ghost Story for Christmas anthology…
Serious Eats / Amanda Suarez I love cranberry sauce. It’s always the brightest thing on the table, the one truly vibrant pop of color, and its tartness cuts through all the rich gravy, turkey thighs, and buttery mashed potatoes. This version couldn’t be simpler: Cranberries are naturally high in pectin, so they gel on their own as they simmer with sugar and a little water. You can keep it classic or add orange zest or a cinnamon stick if you want something a little warmer. It also keeps beautifully in the fridge, which makes it the easiest make-ahead side for…

Google has been in its “Gemini era” for a couple years now, and while the confusing rebrandings have slowed, everything else continues to improve at a rapid pace. Gemini is the name Google gave to its current generation family of multimodal AI models, but in typical Google fashion, it also applies to basically everything else that’s related to AI. It can get a touch confusing since, by my reckoning, Google has:Google Gemini, a family of multimodal AI models. The latest is Gemini 3 Pro, though some older models are still around. This is what Google uses in its own apps…
