What are some vegan breakfasts that make sense to an American brain?

This is incredible from FT (h/t @chaoticsidd.bsky.social)

In which I independently discover Zipf's law 100 years after its namesake

Various stages of fermenting (cow and goat) milk on my counter.

??? Why not vegan. What spice or natural flavor could possibly be so important for canned black bean soup?

Black bean borger. It was yummy.

You can just make bougie spaghettios. No one can stop you. Annelini, spiced (vegan) meatballs (kofta), lentils, marinara

Sadly could not complete my work today as a spider stole my notebook :(

I made garlic bread :)

I like this show :)

They're still coming after me. 😵‍💫

What a wonderful website where the groypers are not taking the day off harassing Will Stancil to harass me instead.

Let me introduce to you the contrabass balalaika. A supreme chonker!

If there are any music nerds into obscure indie/rock music and/or Slavic folk music, could you do me a favor and help identify any of these 4 songs? Indie/rock: youtu.be/Gi4kyC337sM?... youtu.be/G_4rInnjARo?... Folk: youtu.be/wm29rV3Sqso?... youtu.be/LGZdalg_A7o?... It would mean a lot to me.

Listen. Pistachio and chocolate is just a good combination.

I am now the proud owner of an impressively slow external CD/DVD burner. I am now going to spend the next hour burning 3 CDs like it's 2004 all over again.

I'm in a group chat in which multiple people are defending Cremieux and I want you all to remember this: make better choices in life so you don't end up like me.

Chopin's music is fundamentally understated and like 0.1% of Chopin interpreters appreciate this. The vast majority play out every note and exaggerate the tempo modulations and dynamics. Girl, just play it straight!

I'm OK with Democrats going on Fox News to counter misinformation and debate the conservative hosts or moderators. Going on Fox News to slam another Democrat should get you stripped of your committee assignments and DCCC funding.

Today I'm thinking about how Brad DeLong said this all the way back in 2019 and AFAICT not a single blue dog democrat has realized how badly they fucked Biden and themselves in 2022. If we don't run a tea party in 2026 it *will* happen again in 2030.

Why do politicians keep demanding Mamdani do things he does all the time? Like what's even the discourse here?

I've decided to get into craft colas. Here's a start. Fentiman's Curiosity Cola: lightly carbonated with a ginger bug. Very herbal with clove, vanilla, and ginger clearly present. Lightly sweet, moderately tart, low salt, low bitterness. If you like gin drinks it'll be a 5 out of 5. For me, 4/5⭐

Hell yeah! Rent went down a bit!

She's here

Morning star vegan corn dogs are really great

Give me a fun engaging read. All my current books are relative downers.

I'm SO pumped to be an uncle. You guys have no idea.

By the way, the House and Senate are weighing a bill introduced 1 week ago to codify DOGE cuts into law including the PEPFAR/UNICEF cuts. Please take a moment to write to your Congressperson and Senator that you strongly oppose the rescission of any global health aid.

I take back every nice thing I've said about Zohran Mamdani. He toasts his bagels.

The bedwetting from liberals about Zohran is remarkable because he's pretty milquetoast as far as socialists go. Free buses and a pilot program for public grocery stores are much less radical than what progressives were pushing back in 2019.

I also came very fast today

Girl called me handsome as fuck today 🥺

Leasing agency is trying to raise my rent a small amount while Houston rents are actually falling a bit. Part of this is local (not much construction in my area), but I still think I can negotiate the new lease down to keep rent flat. How should I go about this?

What's up booskerinos?

What

It's pretty funny being now completely vegetarian and my family still calling me when they want my rib recipe.

Colombiana but you cover the inside of the bun with cheese and place it face down on the plancha. Then fill it with all the toppings.

Commercial synthesis of vegan gelatin is tragically under-explored.

The Heritage operation is notable, but I think this lets too many people off the hook. People were suggesting critics of Israel supported terrorism well before October 7th. It was a bipartisan effort and a normal part of American politics.

It's 90°F today and I decided I'd take a nice stroll to the grocery store (~15 minutes). My grocery list: milk, yogurt, ice cream, mayo. I'm an idiot.

Sometimes (just sometimes) you have to give Democrats credit for knowing how to lie through their teeth. They promised to axe SALT the first moment they got and didn't touch it all 4 years. God bless them.

My sister maintains there is an essentially difference between macaroni salad and pasta salad. She's completely right.

There is a segment of anti-electoralist climate doomers who should *carefully* consider how the last election got us a 7 seat majority in the House that is planning to eliminate ~$100B/yr of green energy subsidies. One car accident could save the earth half a degree of warming.

Is Trump going to implement a pharmaceutical export tariff? I hope not.

Juxtastat 616 3/5 🟩🟩🟩🟥🟥 juxtastat.org

They've built a state-pressured media system that demands suicidal ideation from old men whose wives do all the housework and treats it like a sports game. Pakistan is directionally similar, but orders of magnitude less severe

the median voter: the president has a big lever in his office which makes things expensive me, an idiot: actually inflation is the result of macroeconomic forces

Tbh, the India–Pakistan conflict is stupid enough that even Trump could probably serve as a moderating force. 1st term Trump could at least.

Do you guys ever think about how there’s no credible mediator between India and Pakistan in the absence of US hegemony?
