Yakisoba-pan is a uniquely Japanese fusion snack: soft bread filled with savory stir-fried noodles. Born in school cafeterias and bakeries, it blends carb-on-carb comfort in the best way. Cheap, filling, and nostalgic, it’s a beloved grab-and-go treat across Japan. #food #japan #japanesefood

My neighbor is a nurse who sees a lot of death and frequently comes home from her overnight shifts wrecked with trauma and I just think our health care workers need more support because they can’t be expected to carry all this while they all have PTSD from the pandemic

Why can’t we help them

When cumin finally met tomatoes and peppers the world rejoiced in joy as their tastebuds were alight with unknown flavors for the first time
While people are generally aware that potatoes, corn, and tomatoes didn’t spread worldwide until the colonization of the Americas, I feel like we sometimes forget that peppers - including all the spicy varieties - were also domesticated here, & only recently introduced to most cultures and cuisines…

Thread. This is a crucial thing for non-Christian Americans to understand. Most Christian Nationalists think it’s an act of kindness on their part to tell you that you will be going to hell if you don’t convert. It’s incomprehensible to most of them that they’re being bigots.
I'm going to tell my favorite story again about reflecting the certainty of beliefs back at people who don't expect it.

A friend was one of the few Jews on faculty at a North Dakota University. Every year, his colleague in religious studies would invite him to come to his religious studies class...

Ted Cruz weighs another presidential run, setting up clash with Vance
He feuds with Tucker Carlson and privately criticizes the vice president, touting traditional GOP foreign policy and warning of the party’s rising antisemitism.

The entire american "free speech" panic was about elites being criticized, which is why anyone who ever took it seriously should be ignored forever
Freedom of speech, in the liberal ideal, was about limiting the power of the elites.

Now, in this twisted form, it is about forcing us to listen to elites and silencing the masses.
Total gaslighting. Anti-trans activist; chooses to speak in person, provoking students who want to protect trans rights; they exercise their freedom of speech to tell her she isn't wanted; she gets to speak anyway; the BBC dutifully platforms her again; and now she threatens to sue everyone.
