Waters's Own Signature Dressing

Love how they couldn't stomach raw milk so they just moved it to whole milk like anyone was complaining about whole.

The drunk uncle theory.

You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

Plus you can draft off their new enthusiasm.

And by no means do you have to give it to him for not being tapioca brained...

Maybe I misread the way he's saying it. I don't think he thinks he got the electoral votes for it every time. I think he is saying he won it if you don't count the "fraud". That's why he "feels" he won it. I may be the idiot here, though (along with him).

So... Just mess up some Cacio e Pepe or Carbonara and throw some garlic in?

Him coming in after 5 innings of Yesavage is going to make some batters look like a wandered on the field and thought they'd give it a shot.

I mean .. that's why I think of diaphragm as Die-uh-frag-um

This is what I love to see, Statto. The start of the season felt disappointing, especially after just missing out at the end of last season, but it really puts into perspective how the team has come and how consistent they have been across the seasons in the Emery Era.

Congrats Doc!

every victory speech is like “to those that did not vote for me just know i will work with you”

I've lived under martial law before. Not in the U.S.-in Thailand, after a coup. And I've walked Tiananmen Square, too. So what I'm watching in LA right now? It hits different. Because I've seen how authoritarianism takes hold-and how America's resistance isn't following the script. 1/7 In Thailand, I taught at a private school after the military coup. One of my coworkers had lived through the actual lockdown in Bangkok. He remembered hearing gunfire and realizing: they're killing people in the street. That fear settled into daily life. You complied. You stayed quiet. You survived. 2/7

The man who led the coup? He became a monk-because in Thailand, becoming a monk makes you untouchable. I was literally teaching his grandkids. People worried if the military would come for them, too. That's the weight of real martial law. It changes how you move through the world. 3/7 In China, I visited Tiananmen Square. My Chinese teacher's mother was pregnant with her when she stood in that square. That history was personal. But it was also erased. Because in authoritarian regimes, memory itself becomes dangerous. What we're not allowed to remember gets rewritten. 4/7

So watching protests erupt in LA right now-protesters shutting down freeways, standing off against SWAT, refusing to move-I'm struck by what's different. Yes, there's fear. But there's also volume. America isn't going quiet. And that matters. Because martial law requires submission. It relies on people staying home. It needs us to believe we're outnumbered. But in every major U.S. city right now, people are standing up. Not just resisting. Refusing to disappear. 5/7

They want us to believe there's no choice. But that's a lie authoritarianism always tells. And America-messy, loud, imperfect America-still hasn't bought into that lie. So yes, l'm scared. But I also have something I didn't have in Thailand or China. Thave hope. Not because everything will work out on its own. But because people are choosing to show up. Because we're not done yet. 6/7 Hope isn't a mood. It's a decision. And if you're struggling to find it-borrow mine. I've lived through a coup. I've lived under martial law. And I'm telling you right now: This moment isn't over. We're still writing the ending. 7/7

He Used to Dominate Daytime TV. Now He’s Sucking Up to Trump—and His Media Empire Is Collapsing. When Dr. Phil signed off his talk show in 2023, he pivoted to MAGA politics. It’s not working so well for him.

Blue Jays really look like they lost that rhythm. The Yankees can't seem to miss. Hopefully not a sign of a trend for the series...

THE CUT They Want the Shooter to Be Trans By Lex McMenamin, a writer and editor at Teen Vogue.

“Anti-trans harassment and violence is all the rage. Trans people are afraid to leave the country, let alone leave their houses. The right-wing ecosystem has gladly spent years creating these conditions, while Democrats have by turns avoided saying anything about them at all” 😞

it's absolutely critical to understand in this moment that people aren't largely reacting to who Charlie Kirk was as a person, but who they knew him as because of what tiny pieces of him got clipped out and stuck in their newsfeeds.

But how can I understand the events of the crime if i don't know that the killers childhood neighbors cousin who met them as a child at a family barbecue thinks?

The White Civility Council As the nation reckons with the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, there has been a notable trend from mainstream pundits and press outlets. They have tended to downplay or outright i...

All right, I wrote about it:

In his Oval Office address on political violence, Trump lists the attempt on his life, the Scalise shooting, and attacks on ICE agents.

He does not mention Jan 6th, the attack on the Pelosi family, the Hortman murders, the kidnapping attempt on Gretchen Whitmer, or the fire at Gov Shapiro’s house.

This is the exact right approach imo - not handwringing about this particular incident, but about the people fomenting it.
