If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever

Okay, but is it *possible* that Graham Platner is being put up as a candidate by the firm of Bialystock and Bloom, and they had expected to make more money by losing?

It turns out that deciding you don’t have to care about antisemitism at all because Israel is antisemitic.

Considering the local place charges like 8.99 for the dish I’m excited to add it to our lives

You press the tofu, put starch on it, fry it. Then put it in a sauce that has dashi soy and mirin. Scallions and grated daikon.

Well not a great start for the timberwolves vs nuggets. Last year they opened Denver; this year the reverse.

I made agedashi tofu! It is exactly what I wanted. I love gaining this skill.

I cleaned the cat box, some extra areas of the basement, and shortly will make dumplings (not from scratch).

very unfair to call this guy a Nazi merely because he had a Nazi tattoo, retweets Nazis, and praises Nazi shows. after all, he could just be really astonishingly fucking dumb. seems like a great candidate!

I think you can worry about American Islamophobia without minimizing American antisemitism. People literally shoot up synagogues in this country, it’s not an imaginary problem or a matter of microaggressions against bourgeois knowledge workers, which is how I see fellow leftists describing it

It's been wild to watch as some ostensibly liberal people like Debra Messing have just had their brains fried by algorithms since October 7, 2023, and are now indistinguishable from the most hardcore MAGA supporters.

Tbh I’m annoyed that so much of the sexism targeted towards my candidacy is about painting me as an influencer rather than a journalist.

It COMPLETELY erases my bartending career.

It comes down to this. You can certainly take care of your own and keep your head down to keep only them safe (btw an academy kid was taken from Madison, so it didn't protect them). But you cannot then claim unity when you did nothing to support your community. You made a choice.
