@thepoliticalcat@qkslvrwolf yes - we gotta pay attn to Congress and VOTE this fall! I think some of us in #MA have an opportunity in September as well as November. Of course voting won’t save us on it’s own, but esp. on a local level it matters a lot.
Disturbing turn, my hiney. This miserable, corrupt swamp-dweller is now weeping great big greasy crocodile tears about how the swamp he lives in is full of lies and corruption about his lies and corruption:
Clarence, you stinking sewer, you have blackened Thurgood Marshall's good name long enough, sitting in his seat. Get the fuck out of D.C., you corrupt swine, and take your seditious wife with you!
Just watched Barbie, and I'm more impressed than I thought I would be. While the pastel neon is, um, difficult, it was a very clever film, well made, well-written, excellent script, dialogue, development, brilliant satire and use of effects. I totally see why she didn't win the expected kudos for the first person to make a billion-dollar-grossing film. The bite of her satire is WAY too much for snowflake mens to handle.
@thepoliticalcat See, if someone pointed out a mistake I had made in a toot, I'd probably just edit the toot and/or acknowledge the mistake. But I can see from this exchange you're very big on assuming people's motives and then dismissing them based on the portrait you've invented.
@ThisAccountKillsFascists Or, maybe, just maybe, I don't like people I don't know leaping into my TL to yell at me about minutiae. This is the most trivial, orthogonal conversation I've ever had, and why I'm even bothering, I don't know. Feeling generous, I guess. You. Fuck right off right now. You've taken up too much time and energy. Off with you!
I love making sag paneer and substituting firm tofu for the paneer. I use black mustard seeds, kalonji, and dried red chilies with spinach and tomatoes and some red onion for sweetness, and add the (pressed, salted) tofu after the spinach has been processed into a smooth and tasty comestible. I can eat it with dal and rice. I always said I could eat a vegetarian diet if it was Indian and African food. The vegetarian/vegan food of this country bores me.
@thepoliticalcat i coat cubes of the tofu in oil and salt and roast them until the outside is crisp before adding to the spinach. It’s a fun twist.
I also struggle sometimes to feel satisfied with western vegetarian dishes. Much easier with Asian (east or south), African, or Mexican.
@ShiitakeToast I don't much like Western vegan food. It's usually hyperprocessed "fake" meat anyway. If you want to eat a steak, eat a damn steak. Don't try and turn cauliflower, which is a wonderfully tasty vegetable, into "steak." It does a horrible disservice to the noble cauliflower. And tofu is NOT a substitute for meat either. Tofu, on its own, or cooked with various other substances, is a wonderful food.
Worked out today. The injured knee is from about a month ago, but it's still feeling weirdly unstable, a bit puffy, and out of sorts. I'm going to keep exercising and icing, I'm getting really annoyed by this body being in such terrible shape, I've worked hard most of my life to keep it healthy, and now it's acting like it doesn't know me. An ass-kicking is called for.
@Defiance Actually, on this topic, all advice is good. I really NEED to learn how to slow down and quit rushing about and expecting my body to deal with the fallout.
John McEntee is spearheading this. John McEntee is the POS who hands counterfeit bills to homeless folks so they will get arrested if they try to use the "money."
For the love of GOD, Europe, Russia is practically on your doorstep! If Ukraine goes down, the rest of you go with it, you KNOW that, and you'd better step the pace up, bc the Ukrainians cannot hold out without HELP!
Somebody made a passionate threnody on this here platform yesterday, about how people who "have it better" when Democrats are in charge don't give a damn about the disabled bc they got theirs.
It made me really sad. It's a kind of ignorance about the real world that says "My suffering is unique, and nobody understands it and the rest of you are privileged shits."
When I was a kid and demanding my parents tell me WHY I wasn't born to rich and famous parents? My parents told me this:
@YakyuNightOwl@milennialzero@_@Nazani Because all those manly brave men, don'tcha know, will form a WALL of women and children around them so they can walk out unhurt.
@thepoliticalcat Accelerationalism is cancer - excess growth of cells from inside. Literally.
It’s a relatively small part of the supremacist lunatics, but a dangerous one.
Every single time i happen to pass a power substation, or incidentally notice a transformer somewhere, it occurs to me just how little these fuckers would need to do in order to create chaos.
Grew up 45m N of Catonsville, that isn’t the south. WTF are these ppl doing there?
I'm kind of sad about ONE thing. When we found out Trump's latest nick - vonSchitzenpants - it didn't rocket to the top of the charts and stay there. Damn, I wish Black Twitter lived here, those folks could have come up with a hundred witty nicknames for the fucker by now.
Did anyone send vonSchitzenpants a Mothers' Day card?
