Soup season! I'm going to start a pinned thread of Soup Tips and recipes.

Grandma's Good Hot Soup:
-1 can French onion soup
-1 russet potato
-baby spinach
-cheese

Dice the potato (1/2 inch). Add to a pot with French onion soup. When potato is soft, add baby spinach. Garnish with cheese.

The thing I wish people like Carville et al would realize is that you cannot have ‘pure populist economic rage’ if you leave out the ‘woke’ bits. It doesn’t work like that.

It’s weird to me they don’t see this, so let’s see if we can walk it out.

Mass incarceration is an economic issue. Housing discrimination is an economic issue. Healthcare disparities are economic.

The precarity, deindustrialization, and anemic economic access that are driving populist rage hit marginalized communities first—they were the canary in the coal mine.

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

oh Americans may not understand this, but a 'magistrate' in the UK is a local volunteer with typically no legal background. But it's ok, they receive about 10 days of training. And now they can send you to jail for two years without a jury!

"Immigration is good, actually" could be a very easy message to land in an environment where Americans increasingly just look at Trump and think "what the fuck is wrong with this guy's whole deal?"
I think immigration makes this country great and I don't care what anyone else thinks.
This is also a place being rhetorically pro-immigration could be good. "I think immigration makes this country great and I don't care what anyone else thinks."

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
