With Daines now out, maybe Busse will switch over to run for senate?

He broke the guy's hand! The guy was lawfully exercising his First Amendment right to protest and speak. Shady is a violent goon.

Abso-freakin’-lutely. The deeply stupid and venal pretty boy Jared Kushmer has given it away over and over: you destroy Iran, you get first dibs on turning Gaza into luxury condos.

Here’s the nub:
1. No I tells drumph if he takes out Iran he can be the lead developer on the Gaza luxury real estate operation.
2. Drumph launches war.
Full stop.

That’s why public broadcasting is so important and why the oligarch class has been trying to murder it for decades #NPR #PBS

Thing is, it calls for a 16" cable, which is just not long enough for DK alpaca yarn. Harrumph. Had to switch to 24".

Thanks. Just about to tackle a heel turn, then those pesky gusset pick-ups.

Triple-negative breast cancer took my sister. I am so deeply grateful for the scientists working so hard to tame this awful cancer, including those who developed immunotherapies. Thank you! #science

First, take a wooden toothpick and clean out the port. Amazing how much lint they can hold!

Make an exception for kecap manis, please! Best combo ever, over rice.

Deep breath. Now focus on fresh ingredients, especially colorful veggies that give you joy when you see them. Treat them gently. Make composed salads-with-protein. Aesthetics important here. You’ll feel better about cooking when your ingredients aren’t beige. Good luck!

Respectfully disagree. I live in a very very dry place and the rice here gets drier than SF, where I'm from. So I soak it for 20-30 minutes before cooking and it makes a big difference.
