@stemthebleeding.bsky.social look you were right all along

OK but populism is bad though. It replaces actual class struggle with some nebulous concept of "the people" versus "elites," without identifying that the real reason for antagonism is class structure, not merely associated concentrations of capital and power.

I usually go with the green sauce (no idea what it's actually called, the chutney with mint and cilantro). And back when I could eat biryani my local place made this really good mirchi ka salan that I liked to use to cut the spice.

one of my local restaurants (focuses on Hyderabadi and Andhra cuisine) makes a great guntur kodi vepudu, and since my diabetes diagnosis, that plus some whole wheat roti is a great meal.

There was also a SE Asian place across from my first job in college. I got brave.

I can't eat naan any more :(

I go with vindaloo or kodi vepudu, dal, and whole wheat roti these days because my blood is trying to kill me

But it is continually subsumed by the other kind, the kind that insists on freedom from collective action via democracy but eternal servitude to power and money.

But leftist libertarianism, id est, anarchism, has never been about the lone individual standing against all others, but about organic community and mutual respect and aid based on a common, shared humanity. That vision of libertarian freedom could work.

However, it has become formative to the American mythos, to the point where every man imagines this to be his ideal, and the failure to achieve it indicative of his failure as a man and human being.

Which is sad, because the libertarian label OUGHT to belong, as it traditionally has, to the left.

The rightlib fantasy is of the bold pioneer living in a cabin on the edge of settled territory, defending home and family against bandits, nature, and circumstance. It is an ideal sold to them by capital to induce moving westward into unsettled lands.

He’s doing the meme

Well I knew that was your complaint. I wasn’t going to step on your toes.

Gruyère? Like the Swiss? And what is wrong with Montaiso?

Some Supreme Court Justices think that viewing the Fourth Amendment as a right to "privacy" is an illegitimate 1960s Warren Court policy invention. But it's not: That language goes back to the beginning, as I showed in this 2022 article. scholarship.law.duke.edu/cgi/viewcont...

I ate one (5mg) and all it did was give me gas and a stomach ache. But then again I’ve never had a good THC-based experience. Even as a teen all it ever made me feel was slightly fuzzy headed.

I love this

I think that’s it. Crenshaw was insufficiently Trumpy. Toth will be right there.

About the only good thing I can say on Toth is that he is not the worst candidate on the issue of hemp/marijuana.

Gotta agree with this.

Not really. That district is super red. Even with a 15-point shift it doesn’t go to the Dems.

this movie that was so so terrible but I lacked the energy to move at all so I had to sit through it.

-13/10 do not recommend

All that happened was I got pretty stoned, sat in my friend’s recliner most of the night, then had him drive me home and I passed out for 16 hours. When I woke up I had the worst dry mouth, headache and fatigue of my life. Then I went back to my friend’s house and they watched…

One time in HS I heard you could get high off nutmeg from my weird hippie aunt, but you had to use the real fresh grated stuff from the health store, not the McCormick brand stuff from the grocery store.

So I ingested about a quarter of fresh nutmeg.

Why does Tyler Technologies exist

I hate them more than life itself

I only wish CAIR had hired me to file the suit or handle the appeal against Abbott in Texas. I'd love to have joined in.

I know, but none of it is true.

I am quite boring.

I am unaware of the relative amounts of each in the Masoretic Text.

I don’t have one.

It’s written in Aramaic and Biblical Hebrew?
