PSA: Best stuffing ever.
Put good hearty bread, stale or toasted, in large bowl.
Sauté onion, garlic, fennel till soft in ample oil/butter. Add herbs until they are warm. (Sage and tarragon are my faves.) Salt, pepper to taste. Add to bread.
Add tinned smoked oysters, dried cherries. Mix. Stuff.

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide.

The “Piggy” is exactly what domestic abusers do behind closed doors. He expects us to keep up the facade that he’s not a cruel bastard.
It means Trump has concluded he owns America. He feels entitled to what he wants when he wants how he wants.
If it got under your skin, consider that may be why.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

I'm really sorry to have subjected all of you to all this NYC posting but it's really been the most breathtakingly ugly race, particularly given that Mamdani has the affect and manner of a Sesame Street character
I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

If you don’t vote, no one cares what you think.
Be a voter. Pick the better candidate. Then let whoever wins know how they are doing.
It’s any citizen’s OBLIGATION.
It’s the cost of having sewers and roads and schools. Hell of a deal.

When I explain that boycotting an election over an issue has never once forced a politician to embrace that issue, I'm not "scolding people to vote." I'm explaining reality.

I’m so sick of the economic issues are more important than social issues people. 44% of the US is non-white, 30% are white women. We’re all included in “DEI,” a group they’re trying to kick out of the job market. It’s hilarious that anyone thinks they can have an economy without us.

People. The East Wing was built in 1942.
Tearing it down is still disgusting. But let’s be realistic. It can be rebuilt.
The psyches of young people watching masked military brutalizing people daily - this is much harder to heal.
May it (at least) emphasize the preciousness of peace.

I think normies care more about the East Wing than a lot of other atrocities. Because its destruction cannot be explained away and there are no nuances they can decide not to think about.
do you think normies care about the East Wing being demolished?

I am so tired of leftists dragging Democrats who were doing what they could in the politics of their time.
More liberal policies would not have had support. Biden got lots of them done and leftists don’t care.
Let’s instead praise AND improve upon the work they did, FFS.

everyone is welcome and encouraged to resist fascism, to fight back
but we can’t just go back to Clinton/Obama neoliberalism
it wasn’t working then, it got us where we are now, and it won’t get us out

Every US hospital must by law give emergency care to anyone who shows up. We don’t check nationality prior to saving a life. Would anyone rather we leave dying non-citizens to bleed out on the sidewalk?
And if we did, how safe would we be abroad?
