What’s weirdly missing from all the reporting on this/these cases is the dementia angle. His deposition video is wild. He seriously thought Carroll was his wife in the photo he was shown?! I don’t care how many years ago it was— does someone with a fully functioning brain forget what their wife looked like, or the…

Yeah if at all possible de-escalate.

Oh yes, I know khichdi well :) You can also make it with millets instead of rice.

“Why on earth aren’t we eating them by the truckload?”

I love beans and lentils, they’re probably my main source of protein, i eat them multiple times a week... but man, one of the reasons Americans may not eat beans is the use of truly unappetizing photos like the one heading this article. I’d like to think that someone other than Dennis picked the photo, perhaps someone…

I’m of mixed Asian descent and my wife is Hispanic. It’ll be a cold day in hell before we have a home-cooked meal without some sort of legume in it.

Fan of beans and lentils here. They’re so cheap and nutritious. My favorite way to get them is Indian dishes like dal, which has many dozens of variations so it never gets boring. And split dals cook quickly and don’t need a lot of soaking.

As a GenXer I kinda stopped going to bars a good 10 or so years ago. I’ll go to one for a meal these days or to go see a band, but just going out to drink at the bar isn’t something that my friends or I will really do.

I would have said hi but you know.

Fine with me. Sitting alone in a bar at 2pm on a Tuesday fits my misanthropic aesthetic perfectly.

I did my own math and wrote an article about this very topic on medium a few months ago. It’s already dated because groceries have started to come back down, but key conclusions:

As crazy expensive as grocery shopping has become I never once considered eating out to save money. Would love to see a breakdown of what that actually looked like because frankly I simply don’t believe it makes any sense.

Dining out five days a week because it was actually cheaper than buying groceries was a fun time

Leana Wen pulled similar shit at the PPA headquarters, but the Washington Post gave her a platform to spew her verbal diarrhea. I'm shocked at the amnesia over that two-faced weasel. 

Jon. Stewart.

Me too. For Trump, they really need to go out and find the guy/girl who knows how to journalistically mud-wrestle...someone who will fact-check like a fucking sledgehammer until things get clear, not just throw up their hands. I bet that person exists, if any news organization had the guts to find them and stick them…

And his description of her allegations sounds more like his own memories. And he’s trying to move the goalpost. “I never met her.” “She’s not my type.” “She led me on.” “It’s OK to fuck her if she’s — maybe? — not married.”

In the almost eight years that Trump has been in the political arena, the media has learned next to nothing about how to cover him. They continue to embarrass themselves in ways that actively hurt American democracy.

For someone who’s never met Carroll, Trump sure seems to know her well.

Make it make sense...President Town Drunk says he doesn’t know her but knows that she had a cat named Vagina*...
