It's a tiny, utterly irrelevant thing...

But having written for & edited a few local print publications back in the day, I can't abandon em-dashes to be nothing more than LLM owl pellets. 😂

Does Miller not realize that if he’d actually been able to pull off the thing he’s in the process of failing at that he’d be up against the wall in a few years?

There isn’t a version of Volkish-American totalitarianism where the president has a scheming Jew vizier
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

here's how I made these guys (and you can too!), starting with supplies. you'll need:

• reasonably sturdy paper (think cardstock)
• non-woven fabric, like felt
• sashiko or embroidery thread (multiple colors)
• an embroidery needle
• stuffing (I use textile scraps)
• twine or cord (for hanging)
making some Christmas ornaments for sharing :)

I know you already know, but for other folks who don't, Goldsmith was previously head of OLC, is a genuinely brilliant mind on executive authority and separation of powers, and is usually very cautious about making claims this unqualified and direct. That he is saying it so starkly is v significant

I've seen this too. 80s-90s media *terrorized* ppl about undercooked poultry at a time which was extremely fat-averse as well.

I make whole chickens that cook longer than they need to sometimes. But they have butter/herbs under skin & are in a pan of juices + butter, so they just get more tender.
for some reason my (white) mother had this problem with whole chicken and not with chicken legs/quarters while my (very not white) dad just scowled every time and forced her not to be in charge of oven cooking chicken. glad to know it's universal.
