i took tylenol while i was autistic and now my son is pregnant

I have so many questions, and want exactly none of them answered.

I’m working on getting a Google Doc up with a list of Sinclair and Nexstar local affiliate stations that we can populate as we go with information about (especially local) advertisers on those stations. If you’ve dug up any of these advertisers, please share under #SinclairAdvertisers (example tf)

On refuge-seeking vs. truth-seeking descriptions: x.com/jayrosen_nyu...

which means you just petulantly keep starting Reichstag fires while looking back at the audience for approval with moist, increasingly desperate eyes

Apparently the FBI is now showing pics of bullets on X now that are LITERALLY inscribed with the words “anti-ice.” And folks I’m getting so many “blacks rule” vibes from this.

Eating a pornographically large bowl of pho is the kind of strong, bold action that the current time demands of us, but alas, only some of us are built for this moment.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Sometimes when I’m in a bad mood I’ll go to the mini-painting reddits (40K, space wolves, fantasy, terrain building) and just gas people up for whatever project they’re sharing. Always feels good.

Homemade pizza for dinner

Dijon-classic for a reason

Before I begin to incorporate Halloween, here is Autumn

Cilantro!

Especially limes.

parsley honestly. when I think adding something 'fresh' to a rich dish parsley is my immediate answer.

Fish sauce

Curry powder, in various amounts, can subtly enhance or completely transform dishes.

Depends on the cuisine but a squeeze of fresh citrus is pretty great. After two decades of cooking with my spouse and watching her cook, I’ve learnt that a dish can usually improved by either adding salt or acid.

Tumeric

What's a simple, common, unsung ingredient that punches well above its weight as far as adding flavor or texture? I say red pepper flakes and green onions are S tier additions to any dish.

I wish there were a way to shout to the civilized world that the 75 million of us who voted for Kamala are so goddamn mortified by this buffoon.

And one thing I regret not mentioning in this is that one of the things that adds to the current near-constant feeling of surreality and uncertainty is that this administration just lies. All the time.

During trump’s speech, he’s so real

He barely registers as fiction. It’s difficult to believe he exists.

When I think of GWAR, the first thing I think of is there go those Democrats yet again. Also when I think of Democrats, usually my mind goes right to GWAR 🤷‍♂️

The libs getting American Football in the national divorce is still amazing.

Can someone smart tell me: does Tylenol (or whatever conglomerate owns it) have standing to sue the government to kingdom come?

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

being unable to grasp that one of these things is *significantly* worse than the other, in every possible way, is completely disqualifying for anyone who even wants to post about politics, let alone be involved in them

OK,I have to say it:genuinely loathe irony-poisoned praise of Trump. He's not funny. Never. Never once has done something funny *on purpose.* Everything he does is cringe and [slur word]. He is not witty, not insightful; in fact he's fucking repulsive.Quit pretending otherwise.Engage dril protocol

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel has been swift, and severe. The whole episode underscores something I've been blogging about for a while: A lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...

"She died doing what she loved: inhaling Rub 'n' Buff fumes."

This is a good listen. crooked.com/podcast/the-...

Plenty of dems are good at talking off the dome, Pete is a great example. They have just put themselves in popularist chains and therefore give fascist talking points empathy rather than attacking them.

Might be structural - on the left, it really can go into nuance. When you're truly saying "it's more complicated than that," you might be correct, but are losing "debate" as it is currently seen. It's like how it is easier to destroy things than to carefully build them.

I feel like it's less dire than you put it though, we have plenty of people capable of turning out compelling short form video and arguing with others it's just finding and elevating them.

definitely something to this. not sure how you learn though www.unpopularfront.news/p/reflection...

“Cancelling” is merely a function of our lightly regulated capitalism. We don’t like what they’re selling. But instead of adjusting their inventory to sell us something we do want, they’re burning it all down

It strikes me that this is one of several reasons for why the right is also worse at boycotts.

The reason the right wing has to use the government to wage their culture wars is because their ideas are unpopular. Any "cancelling" we did in the past was a result of popular opinion. Right wing freaks will never get to count on that.

I didn't know fascism would be embodied by so many of the aesthetics that I detest almost as much as fascism itself. I know you want to step on my neck, but do you have to do it in those ugly fucking boots?
