This is the way. Also, fry sliced ginger, sliced carrots, and mushrooms in the sesame oil. Mix in some chili oil, too. Mm.

1950 with the creation of the CIA

This is related to why I’m so nervous about teaching social studies next year. Can anyone help me think about how to teach US history without shoving a bunch of propaganda down middle school throats?

What the absolute fuck? This makes me so angry.

He was waving the pro-independence Puerto Rican flag (light blue) and Ricky Martin was singing a song about the shit that happened in Hawaii after they got statehood… Is that naughty? Mm I liked it.

(There was also a lot of twerking, but somehow I don’t think that’s the actual source of the complaints.)

Any idea how polling protection groups will work this time around? I’m not really sure what it means to nationalize voting, nor the extent of what it means to have ICE outside of polling locations.

Edit: I’m looking into joining up with a group to protect the polls this midterm.

Couldn’t that be easily communicated without individual measurements? Like, people with long legs/arms do this, people with ling arms/short legs do this, etc? Generally curious: my partner is 6’4", and this could be useful for him.

So if Democrats shut down government funding in a couple of weeks, which automatically closes national parks, will it also stop drilling?

Regardless, please Democrats, have a spine.

Just dont skip Trump’s name while reading…

Y’all want to burn some flags in DC this Monday? I’m game

I hear it may be Gavin Newsom’s turn. Just shoot me.

Thank you for that take; this is the important part. Now I’d like him to get mean, please.

Without organized labor parties to call for strikes or make demands we are really stuck waiting for somebody famous (and who we trust) to say what needs to be said, and organize what needs to be organized. And it needs to happen soon. In Bernie we could trust.

Er, I think they mean: American public (we exist) Public transport (not much here) American transport (cars)

I love cities with hidden courtyards. I know Spanish colonial has a lot of this, but Paris (not sure the style) does too. I’m not saying it’s the direction we should move in regarding efficiency nor climate proofing, but it’s really nice to get a little semi-private outdoor space (they are often shared between several houses) and have windows that open up to it. It also creates a feeling of mystery, like you really need to get to know a city before it will open it’s doors to you.

Agreed. It always makes me think of Nascar, lol. But the other half represents a pro-Confederate family, and I’d love to hear someone explain how the city of Baltimore has continued to accept that. “Bigger fish to fry” and “not wanting to alienate racists” is all I can come up with.

I guess I should also first ask how many Democrats are on a similar list…

If I were to make a protest poster with this information, what pithy statement would be the best combination of true and impactful? I was thinking, “Protect children and women?! 1410 identified Republican sexual predators!”

Could the language get more specific but stay true? These aren’t all convicted offenses, right? They also weren’t so government officials, some just identify as Republican?

Feeling like your life is on hold is such an interesting and familiar feeling. Years can go by this way. Good luck! I hope it happens soon.

I’m apparently a bit mean in my sleep. I’ve gotten very protective over my sleep in the last few years as consistent sleep has always been something I’ve struggled with, and so when my partner accidentally wakes me up I apparently grumble and act very dramatic about it.

I’ll often ask in the morning, “Was I mean at all last night?” I feel bad about it but I have no idea that it’s happening.

The Conversation is great, though they don’t necessarily cover headlines. They look at hot topics and interview experts. It’s about making a bridge between science and journalism.
