SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

This will do just fine. Spicy add-ins: fresh green jalapeno with seeds top note, a spoonful of sambal oelek for a tangy base note, a fuckton of Sriracha for the middle note

Anyway, obviously I can just make up a spicy congee, I just got curious if there was anything pre-existing like that since it's not really something from any of my personal food traditions but recipe slop is the og slop of the internet so it shall remain a mystery for me

I'm still sick & I want to eat spicy food but also congee sounded good so I'm like "I wonder if there's a spicy kind of congee?" Search, find "Chili Crisp Congee" recipe... it's "make normal congee & then top it with chili crisp" There needs to be a "rick roll" type name for these kinds of recipes

Even just the fact that Meta has been doing this to queer-owned businesses & gathering places all over the world for months at this point, putting people's actual livelihoods & safe spaces at risk. I've been sharing those stories here & barely a peep. THIS is the thing that crossed the line??

It’s an unpalatable truth, but Meta, TikTok, and hopefully it goes without saying, X, aren’t sustainable to rely on for political amplification, cultural promotion/marketing or community organizing. It’s long past time for new platforms/means and to move on.

This is not beautiful to see. This is the most racist democracy on planet earth, and people just expect Black people to sing negro spirituals and "overcome." It's not working. This still happens for one reason and one reason only: white US folk don't hold each other accountable for this racism.

"KCRA reported the driver told CHP that he was asleep & was using the Tesla's self-driving features at the time of the crash." Self-driving should not be a street-legal feature until it's fully capable of self-driving bc the idiots who own these cars can't be trusted to know the fucking difference

Given everything that's already been happening with queer businesses having their accounts suspended, I've been saying that I wish there was a stronger push to move businesses back to the open web. Maybe this will add some momentum to that idea

When I'm sick all I want to do is drink tequila and eat spicy food and not be sick and right now I am drinking the spiciest Paloma I could conceivably stomach while sitting in the shower & feeling a little delirious. Sometimes being sick is just existing as some alternate dimension you

God it's bad enough being really sick out of nowhere and sleeping most of the day but it's even worse that it's all of a sudden in the 80s and I woke up because my bedroom feels like a furnace. I thought we were done with the heat 😭

As someone whose early childhood was spent in TX, it's so funny how they drill TX history into you yet no one seems to retain anything but the most superficial recognition of it. Hopefully this ends up being a very appropriate venue. (Mexico defeated the Texans there & executed most of them)

And presumably there's not actual video of the accident or they wouldn't have needed the car description or plate from a random witness who followed the guy. It's all such smoke & mirror bullshit AKA cops lying per usual.

*Some* of the video is surely going to be used as evidence but they always lead with the ALPR shit and there's literally nothing that would require those other than possibly "we didn't want to have to track him down once we had his info so we used those to see whether he was likely at home or work"
