I’m so tired. So very tired.

While nowadays flavored neta can go overboard and cross into fusion, especially in non-Japan markets, getting the sauce/spice on for sushi toppings is steeped in tradition and if it’s a good restaurant, will be done well with deliberation. As mentioned by other commenters, fancier omakase places (and good non-omakase…

Just today? Maybe not ever, but it's way up there on the all-time list. Hell of a lot better than that dancing baby and the double rainbow.

A lot of good sushi chefs will also brush Nikiri, sweet soy sauce, on nigiri that need it. Quite a few high end sushi chefs often feel that Nigiri should be eaten as it is made, but they tolerate people dipping it in soy sauce or adding Wasabi.

The rice is sugared the balance out the fish. Spices can be subtle or minimalist, as long as you know what you’re doing with them.

I wouldn't say no to some cold-smoked salmon on properly seasoned sushi.

True. They have a history of very, very problematic and tone deaf propaganda. I remember walking by a demonstration against the national dog show maybe 10 or so years ago where they were wearing Klan robes to make their point. I was appalled and told them about themselves for it. If they think it’s okay to terrorize…

What the fuck is wrong with this guy?

Yeah. The article is a [shrug] and [walk away].

Yeah, I’m think I’m going with Nichols’s take on “the kiss” over the article’s.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr,: “I am Martin Luther King, and I am a Trekkie!”

The kiss wasn’t the most groundbreaking thing about Star Trek (and it was shitty kiss because looks like Shattner is trying to eat her...), it was that Uhura, a black woman, was a respected officer and a member of the crew at all. If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend the NPR interview Nichols gave:

Also? It’s a Woman with a gun. It’s a woman holding Power, the only real power America respects. It’s a Black Woman owning Violence with Confidence and Authority (See how large and in the forefront she is? She fucking Owns that spot.) and it is supposed to scare the shit out of fragile little white men. I’m guessing mi…

So much so that they were indirectly responsible for ending the legality of open carry in California, an effort broadly supported by . . . wait for it . . . the NRA.

The BPP’s core principle was the armed defense of blacks, primarily against police violence. 

I give him credit for walking the razor’s edge. Black Republicans who fail, fail HARD, and he’s doing the least he can to keep from venturing into Uncle Ruckus territory. He knows he can’t step-and-fetch 100% of the time or else he’ll never be able to confidently say, “I got mine.”

Lamb tacos and a G&T

Why couldn’t he be the one who tried to take Christianity to the indigenous East Indian tribe on that isolated island?
