I had just moved away from Detroit when it was host to Rosa Parks’ 11 hour long funeral. I know two people who left Rosa’s service to get something to eat and went back.

Make a few pans of mac & cheese, throw on some collards, fry up some chicken, and turn your crib into a “Repast” pop-up.

This schedule is bananas!!! Bill Clinton has never spoken for only 5 minutes in his life and he’s on the JV team of gasbags speaking. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton get 9 & 5 minutes to speak? Puh-leeze!! This thing could last a couple of days.

Can confirm that most cats do not know their name, or they don’t care, or both. In a cat rescue I volunteer at, two of like 30ish cats know their own names: “Mr. Boots” and “Big Al”. Neither will come when called, though Mr. Boots will let loose a meow that sounds like an engine stalling.

We should encourage people to make their own choices: I choose to leave Twitter if it doesn’t apply it’s own rules consistently and encourages hate speech. You can choose otherwise. Hell, you can get a Hitler avatar and tweet passages from Mein Kampf on twitter if that’s what you want.

Is it possible to upvote and report this at the same time?

I heard that Donald Trump gives the best blowjobs. Many people are saying this. Too bad you won’t be hearing this from the FAKE NEWS MEDIA!

I definitely raised an eyebrow at the idea of “slow-cooked courgette” and figured that there must be some misunderstanding. But I’ll be damned, it really is slow-cooked zucchini. I wonder if it works OK with older, tougher zucchini -- there’s not much else to do with them, and young zucchini are just too good steamed…

Right? I hear that maybe the majority of the world’s population eats rice quite often. They’re probably just poors who don’t know about the Dangers of Grains!!!!

That looks and sounds pretty tasty. I like to skin the zucchini into the food processor, then put the denuded vegetable on the grill until it’s just about falling apart and has nice marks on it; then put the grilled zucchini into the food processor with its still-pristine uncooked bright green skin and some oil, nuts,…

Here’s the recipe. https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/parsley-almond-pesto-1567 I did use lemon juice to thin the pesto to a consistency I liked instead of chicken broth, because chicken broth seemed like a weird ingredient to include in pesto. 

I love telling anti-grain evangelists I eat pasta or rice almost every day of my life and watching their brain circuitry explode. I’m having fresh pasta with a fabulous parsley and almond pesto I made last night, with some green breans, for dinner. 

at age 92 is exactly when I would start eating whatever the fuck I wanted

Rural Pennsylvania (so, pretty much of all it outside of the 4 or 5 major city metro areas) is like a time machine to the 1950s: the homes are all dilapidated rowhouses built during the mining boom era, everyone smokes cigs and/or dips, and society is about 60 years behind. Hate crimes are commonplace, relative to…

Taxes are inherently good. They are a check on oligarchy, aristocracy, and power. The fact that, over the past 50 year’s taxes have gone down and income differentials have gone up is no coincidence, it’s causation.

It’s now the conspiracy theory party. Full on transition. A few years ago, we used to laugh at Alex Jones and condemn his stupid thoughts. Now those same thoughts are on Fox News and being repeated by Senators and House members. It’s legit frightening how stupid a large portion of our country is.

Shit. Forgot blue collar. And also white collar. Apparently white people are the only people with collars.

oh look who’s back from the burn unit

How about allowing people into the country. It’s pretty fucking enormous you know. I have never understood why this needs to be a walled-off garden. Everyone should have a chance at a better life if they seek it out. Who are you or me to say No, you can’t. What is so amazing and unique about the US that we have to…

The wickstead version of the dress has pleats and makes the models boobs look dumpy so I’d say not the same dress. Also I feel like maybe I’m the only one left in the world who doesn’t think an item of clothes has to be skin tight to fit well. That dress looked great on the MM and fabric is allowed to move in my world.
