Found a set of cartoons I did from 2021 of “Asian-style Americans,” satirizing those so-called “Asian-style” recipes that qualify their ethnicness with the addition of an “Asian ingredient.”

Rather proud of these.

I don’t know if that’s the healthiest defense

Frankie Huang 黄碧赤 @ourobororoboruo.bsky.social · 34m

2 cups chickpea flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 cup milk of your choice
2 tbsp neutral oil
1 tsp vanilla

If it gets too thick you can adjust with milk or water. That’s it!

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

INBOX — New York AG Tish James' statement on Trump's retaliatory indictment of her:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 9, 2025

Attorney General’s Press Office/212-416-8060 nyag.pressoffice@ag.ny.gov

Attorney General Letitia James Issues Statement on Donald Trump’s Weaponization of the Department of Justice

NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James today issued the following statement after she was indicted by the U.S. Attorney’s office of the Eastern District of Virginia.

“This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. He is forcing federal law enforcement agencies to do his bidding, all because I did my job as the New York State Attorney General.

“These charges are baseless, and the president’s own public statements make clear that his only goal is political retribution at any cost. The president’s actions are a grave violation of our Constitutional order and have drawn sharp criticism from members of both parties.

“His decision to fire a United States Attorney who refused to bring charges against me – and replace them with someone who is blindly loyal not to the law, but to the president – is antithetical to the bedrock principles of our country. This is the time for leaders on both sides of the aisle to speak out against this blatant perversion of our system of justice.

“I stand strongly behind my office’s litigation against the Trump Organization. We conducted a two-year investigation based on the facts and evidence – not politics. Judges have upheld the trial court’s finding that Donald Trump, his company, and his two sons are liable for fraud.

“I am a proud woman of faith, and I know that faith and fear cannot share the same space. And so today I am not fearful, I am fearless, and as my faith teaches me, no weapon formed against me shall prosper. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights. And I will continue to do my job.”

Mark Bray, a historian of antiauthoritarian movements at Rutgers, is fleeing the country after being violently targeted and doxxed by the Far Right.

Disturbingly, his family’s departure flight reservation was mysteriously cancelled and he’s attempting to leave again tonight.

Funny you should mention corn because the texture is very grits-like, tastes like chickpeas, fairly mild. Syrup sinks in, which is fine for me.

I prefer the springy texture of waffles with gluten but these are definitely nice a filling, goes well with any kind of sweet topping imo

I’m actually talking specifically about that first year or so when there was so much uncertainty, destabilization, and death. Not something people can just leave behind.

Yet another entry in the category of "why do we allow economists so much influence in the world"

When I served on the independent Times Health Commission in 2023, I often had to push back on the widely shared view that, regardless of what we might recommend, health spending as a share of GDP would inevitably continue to rise. But why should this be the case? In the late 1970s, health spending as a share of GDP was about the same as education – around 5%. But today it is closer to 12% of GDP, more than double that of education.

To my economist’s eye, these trend lines make no sense. If anything, education spending ought to be higher than health-care spending, because better educated young people can both boost the productivity of the future workforce and make

Migrants that get deported for doing things citizens get away with or get lighter punishments for *should not make sense to you* because immigration status *does not define what you deserve as a human being*

Deportation as a punishment reaffirms my belief that borders are violence that exist in service of perpetrating inequality.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 22h

Interesting insights into thoughts on mass deportation in a @nytimes.com poll:

1. The message that ICE is out of control is getting through—by 9 points, people say the *process* has been "mostly unfair."
2. Despite this, people say ICE is deporting "people who should be deported" also by 9 points.

Which statement comes closer to your view about the process that the Trump administration has been following in deporting people over the last several months, even if neither is exactly right?

The process of deporting people has mostly been fair: 44%
The process of deporting people has mostly been unfair: 53%

Which statement comes closer to your view about the people who have been deported by the U.S. government in the last several months, even if neither is exactly right?

The U.S. government is mostly deporting people who should be deported: 51%
The U.S. government is mostly deporting people who should not be deported: 42%

Her lead is concerningly slim and the opposition is showing their ass regularly enough that her team should be able to put together some attack ads in their sleep, not to mention further define her platform with some sharp contrast against Jack and co.

It is creepy how the height of the pandemic has been scrubbed from popular culture, it was only 5 years ago when people were isolating, masking, Zoom learning, wiping grocery bags with bleach, listening to ambulances siren day and night.

A lot of people haven’t dealt with that trauma and it shows.

It’s not enough to have a good story. It’s not enough to report the shit out of it. Journalists now have to wonder, will my outlet even exist tomorrow? If not, will a billionaire bail us out? Is it possible to speak truth to power under billionaire leadership? — @marisakabas.bsky.social
