Teaching the (adult) kids to cook and there's an underlying principle I'm trying to communicate to them:

The modern recipe, as a form, was invented in recent history to serve the needs of industrial, commercial, nationalist forms of cooking.

If you're doing any other kind of cooking β€” the vast majority of cooking worldwide and throughout history, including most home cooking β€” you don't want 'em.

What you want is a repertoire of techniques, experience with ingredients, and your active senses.

I read an article that explained the top marginal US federal tax rate wasn't *really* that much higher (at 91%) than it is now, because hardly anyone paid that rate.
It ignored that CEOs didn't get paid 1200x the median salary at their companies, that paying themselves that would be pointless because they wouldn't be able to keep it, that the tax rate served to limit executive greed, and lower consumer costs for everyone.

Also my favorite song of hers - I think it shows the incredible power in her voice. Her downward spiral was tragic.

Heineken launched stout to replace Guinness (withdrawn last year) for Russian market

<< #Heineken can spin this all they want, but they are shamefully operating in a sanctioned state and developing new products to protect their investment.

No one in #Ireland , or anywhere else that suppprts #Ukraine 's sovereignty, should drink #Heineken . This also shows how weak the sanctions are for many big companies operating in #Russia .

Hi. When you add β€œ-tard” to an insult of someone you don’t like, you’re using the R word, which is a hateful term and is ALWAYS punching down. Please don’t do it, even to insult vile politicians, antivaxxers, Trumpists, etc. Just don’t. There are plenty of other colorful words to use that won’t insult people with disabilities.

The Boogaloo Bois and the Proud Boys and the 3%ers should all be designated as domestic terrorist groups. The FBI needs to step it up.

He's another one (like Cheney) that I don't get why some people on the left have suddenly adopted. He's against Trump's tone and demeanor, not his politics. He wants some dignity as we slouch toward Gilead, he doesn't want to stop us from going there.

You're just not looking at this the right way. Training costs will be lower, wages will be lower, profits will be up. Rising tide / trickle down / job creators / all that crap.

#PoliceViolence #BlackMastodon #BlackFediverse #BLackTwitter For the first time in a pattern and practice investigation, DOJ actually added that the police, members of Louisville Metropolitan Police dept, HAD engaged in sexual violence against women, and further that the department did little about it! A small advance in the fight for transparency. I'm so pleased to have been able to push this issue forward.
