She was in my top three companions with Christopher Eccleston, and absolutely my least favourite of the new series with David Tennant.

The swirlie is still on the table though, right?

Can this asshole be fined for wasting the court's time with a frivolous lawsuit?

Nah, there was that thing at Oberlin where the refectory made shitty sushi so some undergrads decided that was cultural appropriation, but beyond that I've never really heard of it being an issue.

This sounds like it will be extremely my shit. Love me some slow, naturalistic pacing.

They do taste different though, innit? Must be in the preparation.

Oooh, I'll see your ramen and raise you thin fresh rice noodles for pho, and the thick ones for char kway teow and pad si ew.

I fuckin love gochujang so much. I need to learn to cook more actual Korean food though; I've mostly used it as part of the braising liquid for fatty cuts of meat to serve with rice and greens or mixed with mayo and sour cream for wanky fusion tacos.

I listen to a food podcast called Milk Street, and the host was talking about how much he uses miso butter, even just to toss through plain pasta. I had the idea on the brain, so we got some great mushrooms at the market one weekend, had some papardelle on hand and pretty much went from there.

I've been known to eat Chinese chili garlic sauce straight out of the jar.

It's not by any means a traditional Japanese preparation, but we do papardelle with miso butter, oyster and enoki mushrooms, thinly sliced scallions, and toasted sesame seeds and it fucking owns.

I'm sympathetic to a lot of arguments re: cultural appropriation, but God damn it you can pry my pantry full of Asian and Latin American staples and condiments​ from my cold, dead hands.

No peon! No peon! You're a peon!

This is maybe your weirdest ongoing grievance.

Yup. What she did was grounds for not seeing her again, not taking fucking legal action. No wonder people think the entirety of civil law is a joke.

I have often wondered if it's a Kaufman-esque bit at the expense of fanboys in general, but he does seem really sincere (and sincerely lacking in self-awareness, given how often he accuses other people of being obsessed with Marvel).

Texting at the movies is bad, but just imagine how insufferable this dude is.

Insisting that someone who identifies as a woman is "definitely a man" isn't what transphobia is?

To paraphrase Amber A'Lee Frost, "People are trying to read Trump like he's playing 4D chess, but he's playing fucking dodgeball".

Shit, I'm going to have to try that. Plain old sriracha mayo is my go to, especially for breakfast sandwiches.
