“It’s too expensive” is a vapid criticism of the rampant lawlessness.

Then, again, it’s Frum, who already discarded international law in panting for war crimes in Gaza.

Also a very bad idea: braying for Dems to treat queer people with contempt.

Yellow split peas, but the real yellow is from the turmeric! Crucial: fresh garlic and ginger--i.e. from cloves and roots, not convenient little bottles. 😊

Cheers to the Toronto Star @thestar.com for the easy recipe.

Careful which AI platform. Microsoft Designer wanted to make them all look like romance novel covers or Disney princes with flowing locks.😆

Recently started trying AI when I can't find real life photos. Either AI-created photos or illustrations (based on known physical attributes). Clearly label them AI. Left: "Chaplinsky" rendering (fighting words case). Right: "Watts" (true threats case: "first man I want to get in my sights is LBJ").

Of course, scouring every corner of the internet for the photos and other material. Unexpected but frequent sources: genealogy sites. Kilberg's photo (B&W) came from a college yearbook on ancestry.com, where I also happened upon relatives. Colorizing was ancestry too, I think. AI really helps.

Thanks! I've been at it for about five years now, since right before COVID. Lots of earlier iterations weren't so polished, but did the trick just fine. Key for me has been using tables, but some of the crucial features I can only access working directly with HTML. That's where the polish come from.

One would have thought his overt cartoonish misogyny would have been enough already.

We're on Canvas not D2L. Comparable? Not sure exactly what you're looking for.

I use a template. But I often work directly in the underlying HTML code, which most people won't want to do. The Canvas interface isn't precise enough. I start a new page by copying and pasting the template's HTML.

Second effort. Better seasoned. Recipe looks easy but getting the balance right is tricky.

Tried sautéed onions and jalapeños initially, but decided uncooked with more crunch and flavor are better, esp. the red onions.

Next time: less lentil-mashing!

I'm really frustrated to see the NYT degenerated into a "both sides" bigotry-cleanser.

That's exactly what he, Yglesias, and other triangulators want Dems to do. They've already set up a new DLC to get started.

They've somehow decided—somehow being via the longstanding practice of queer scapegoating—that the party needs a big bigoted Target-style fuck you to diversity.

From the guy who spent literally years studying one blow job.

First guess: JD Vance

Typical Bros. Couldn’t care less about bigotry as long as he spouts your class-only fixation for you.

Unfollowed for typical Bernie Bro tone-deaf indifference to bigotry.

Sorry, but I feel exactly zero urge to feel Ezra fucking Klein’s pain.

Some of us have been dealing with these little triangulating bastards for decades.

I, for one, am quite sick of their massive sense of entitlement to treat us like shit and then bully us for money and votes like it’s 1990!

I will grant you this: I prefer to mock Ezra Klein by saying “[insert name of hate monger] does bigotry the right way.”

It’s more than the Kirk takes. It’s the broader pattern of Klein as a privilege-blind straight white man prancing about urging Dems to embrace a little bigotry for votes.

Standard move for anyone trying to minimize bigotry.

They frequently dismiss bigotry as being “dumb,” “stupid,” etc. as if we’re all supposed to just eye-roll at the flaming Klan cross rather than condemn it as the vicious hate that it is.

So tedious.

It isn’t saying he is. It’s illustrating just how offensive some of us find his Kirk defense. You’re entitled not to find it so offensive. I disagree.

Same guy who chose Merrick Garland for AG

Which queers do you want to bash in your outreach to them? Because Ezra fucking Klein has his list.

Not to some of us Klein wants tossed overboard to chase bigots’ votes.

Not to some of us Klein wants tossed overboard to appeal to bigots it isn’t.

As a member of a group routinely pelted with bigotry by Kirk, a group Klein wants tossed overboard to appeal to bigots, I disagree.

Fuck Ezra Klein

As a member of a group routinely pelted with bigotry by Kirk—and a group Klein wants tossed overboard to appeal to bigots—I disagree.
