That's an excellent question, I'll see!

They do not but they liked the recipe 🤣

Shouldn't be too bad? Chile guajillo and chile ancho and orange juice and oregano and cumin seed and bay leaves marinade/braising liquid, apple cider vinegar bite added at the end.

Pambazos Rellenos de Huevos y Chorizo for breakfast, and Frijoles con Veneno for dinner.

Our Boy Scout troop parents usually let me cook whatever I want for the adult patrol if I have ideas, because I have yet to lead them astray.

I am cooking two different meals from Rick Martinez's Mi Cocina at the campout this coming weekend and I'm stoked.

My Democratic colleagues and I just left the state of Texas to break quorum and stop Trump’s redistricting power grab.

Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us.

It’s time to fight back.

Democrat Forrest Dunbar was on Nat Guard training in Poland and got personal leave, and bought his own ticket, to get back to AK and vote for the override.

If you are wondering why the special session was scheduled when he was in Poland, well, I'm thinking no one imagined he would do what he did

Of course. Of fucking course.

It was!!! Gosh it was just amazing.

I’ve been critical of Schumer’s social media. But this—& the procedural moves that triggered Trump—is outstanding.

“Some of us aren’t creative enough to brainstorm without ChatGPT!” Well then maybe you should sit this one out.

Just showed this absolute hall of fame post to my husband for the first time and this man, this red blooded forty year old man, deadass asked me what it means

Suggested for you Follow ... More than a dozen slavery displays in Philly, including at Washington's former home, have been flagged for a Trump admin review. Thirteen items at the President's House Site, which illustrates the paradox between freedom in the new nation and the ongoing horrors of slavery, were among those flagged for review.

I don’t think there is a day that goes by that I am not reminded of an old teacher’s admonition: “If the only history that interests you is the history that makes you feel good about yourself, you are not interested in history; you’re interested in propaganda.”

The reason you don't give ground on trans rights - beyond the simple morality of it being wrong to do so - is because you don't give ground on rights period, and if you're willing to let it slide for one marginalized group it means everyone else is just a matter of price

The historians can give everyone lots of examples of this

I really, really, really love teaching, researching, writing, presenting at conferences. And as long as that first one is true, I'd like to stay.

But this shit? Ooooof.

The "personalized study chat bot" would be an email I send out every day saying "Grow up and do the fucking reading".

AI-native universities is a future where I don't work in academia. Fuck that absurd douchefuckery.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics is a famously independent, nonpartisan office that publishes objective data and guards their independence fiercely. Trump fired Erika McEntarfer for not cooking the employment numbers to make him look better. He’s sending a signal to the rest of the government.

Fascist movements spread as fascism is tolerated and normalized.

Opinion | Behind Trump and Vance Is This Man’s Movement

My take away from this interview [gift link] is that Vance's "National Conservatism" is a form of blood and soil nationalism that is deeply invested in claiming (and possibly actually believing) that it is NOT a form of blood and soil nationalism.

This is cataclysmic in just about every imaginable way.

Anyone talking about the 90s like it was a feminist haven free of a manosphere has clearly forgotten about what the 90s was actually like or never bothered to study it

It's fascism. You ask yourself, "why are they doing [thing X]?" Fascism. It's fascism. Fascism is infinitely stupider than we dream, while also being infinitely worse than we are ready for.

Americans Say No As Terrified ICE Agents Flee from Angry Citizens "It's gonna be like this every f*cking day you're coming. Every day, anytime you try to kidnap people, we are gonna be here!" a rapid responder yelled at fleeing ICE agents in Kansas.

"Did you not realize what this would be, being f*cking Gestapo? Quit your job. It's gonna be like this every f*cking day you're coming...anytime you try to kidnap people, we are gonna be here!” A rapid responder yelled at fleeing ICE agents in #Kansas. www.thedailypoliticususa.com/p/americans-...

One way of looking at this is that it is a story of a government losing its ability to rely on merit and rationality, surrendering instead to cult-like loyalty and conspiracy theories.

The other thing about it is IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT THE BEST USE CASE SCENARIOS ARE. STUDENTS ARE USING IT TO CHEAT AND NOT LEARN ANYTHING. HOW YOU INTEND FOR A PRODUCT TO BE USE DOESN'T ALWAYS MATTER

Oh man I had wings and a burger at the Boathouse Brewpub and it was GLORIOUS.
