Foul-mouthed yellow-dog Democrat, knitter from Illinois. She/her. I block TERFs, BothSiders, & doomers. Probably not that interesting. A student of mine once wrote on an evaluation, "She thinks she's funny, but she's not." Please don't DM me.

"But the people refused to listen to Samuel. 'No!' they said. 'We want a king over us. Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.'" 1 Samuel 8:19–20

I'm voting that this is the case most likely to use Dred Scott as precedent.

Something I did not know but it's logical: consuming activated charcoal will mess with some medications. (Apparently Hidden Valley has a black ranch dressing for Halloween, but it's colored by cocoa powder & fruit juice.)

It's cool and awesome that every century or so we have to relearn the hard lessons about why we invented government because some dumb motherfuckers forget that the cornerstone of Civilization is a thousand boring little bureaucrats doing their job, not Great Men Being Violent.

One of the first things I learned when I moved to Illinois is that Indiana is the state we dunk on. It's not the only state we disparage, but it's the primary.

The US already got a do over. A mulligan. A second chance. Much of the world, especially US allies, were ready to write off Trump’s first term as a fluke. The American people’s choice to put him back in power—as a convicted felon, after an openly bigoted, anti-democracy campaign—showed it was not.

I ran across this in my saved photos & felt compelled to post it. I would totally devour this! (I added a couple of notes in the alt text using [] brackets, since not everyone can find Dream Whip.)
Watergate Cake

From the kitchen of Juanita Boren, Garrett:

1 box white cake mix
1 package Instant pistachio pudding
3 eggs
1 cup cooking oil
1 cup club soda water
one-half cup chopped nuts

Mix first five Ingredients together with electric mixer at medium speed for 2 minutes; fold in nuts, pour in a greased and floured 10-inch tube or bundt pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes. (7-Up [or other lemon-lime soda] may be substituted for club soda water, others said.)

Impeachment Icing

1 box instant pistachio pudding
1 envelope Dream Whip
1 and one-fourth cups cold milk
[If you don't have Dream Whip, substitute 2 cups (8 oz) Cool Whip or whipped cream, and use just between 3/4 & 1 cup milk]

Mix together. When well blended and of spreading consistency, ice cake and refrigerate until ready to serve.

this is very true, I would say nearly no two people who say "Free Palestine" mean exactly the same thing for some it is a very bland statement of "peace now" others its a call for negotiations for a two state answer, others for their particular idea of a two state others still one Palestinian state

I can't stand this kind of "I'm not saying I want the Republican to win, I'm just saying I want the Democrat to lose" evasive non-sequitur, but it's also a dispositive tell that the person making the argument knows perfectly well that they're advocating an indefensible position

I wonder if the NY Times has a Euphemism Desk to soften its stories. Trump lawlessness is an “expansive interpretation of presidential power”? A Trump-UAE crypto scheme “blurred the line between foreign policy and private enterprise.” This thread imagines history as written by NYT’s Euphemism Desk.🧵

Nightmarica has the receipts! Hakeem Jeffries and the Democratic Party have been fighting for us and will continue to do so if we give them the votes. It's a long (long, long) read, so you may want to bookmark for future reference. The two parties are *not* the same.

For many years I wondered, "how bad will Republicans have to get before the media/political establishment in the US gets over its endless obsession with scolding & tone policing the left?" I think at this point we have to acknowledge that the answer is: never. Literally never.

I read this in one of Calvin Trillin's Tummy Trilogy books & it stuck with me. Paraphrased likely because memory cheats: "Growing up, my mother told me, 'Lenny, you're too skinny. You should eat something.' Later, it was, 'You should lose weight, Lenny, you're too fat.' [continued in next post]

So we are finally being forced to buy a new-to-us car, as the computer which runs the electrical system has died (the TIPM), & the dealership has confirmed that it's a discontinued part. Not surprising, since it's a 2006 PT Cruiser. I will really miss this car. ☹️
