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 same people who were expressing glee at how AI was going to put countless people out of work and render whole professional fields obsolete, are now wringing their hands and exclaiming that we can't let it fail, because to do so would...put lots of people out of work?

A Gen Z-led advocacy group announced a boycott campaign targeting major corporations “that enable, profit from, or directly collaborate with ICE.” Beyond the Ballot launched “Not With My Dollars: ICE Out of My Wallet” just days before Black Friday kicks off.

It’s getting real for Home Depot. The flash mob is only the warm up, the nationwide boycott hits on November 27th.

Getting real tired of companies with business plans that read like a supervillain scheme.
FCC should stop this before launch

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

Y'know, I appreciate the effort, but I'm really hoping never to go anywhere they'd even be *able* to save me from.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.

I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

Legislation in the US, sponsored by 22 members of Congress, calls for sanctions on Israel. This marks the first time that a resolution in Congress has explicitly called for sanctions on Israel.

The S in BDS is no longer a taboo in the US. Escalate BDS pressure now.

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.
