Don't have a NYT sub, but ratatouille / pasta in.one.pot? Interesting. I don't usually add water to a rtouy bc the eggplant bleeds it in, they must need more for the pasta toward the end of cooking. Always add toasted garlic chips toward the end of cooking - slice garlic onto a flat ceramic plate, coat with ~.5t of oil, salt, nuke @20% power til golden ~4 min. (don't let burn), cool til crisp, add to anything. Or snack on them. Use the oil for flavoring, too. These are vegan bacon bits. Try it! This adds flavor so much better than frying garlic first because of the toasted factor you can't get that way.
Little late, but in case y'all check in here--thank *you*, Trix, Shy and co. Having spent 20 years in The Bidniss, a nagging regret is that I never made it to the DNC. Unlike the dreary zillions of local, district and state ones, always heard the big one was a blast. This one was something special and experiencing it virtually with y'all was a delight.
Like so many things, there's a song lyric that describes how I feel about this place and the community we have. It's from a song called "Brought Me" by the Turnpike Troubadours:
Well, I have loved you for so long, I have no memory of fallin'
So long now it feels that we have never been apart.
💖💖💖 Liz Warren. Perhaps she would have been our president if Biden had opted out 4 years ago. But no matter where she is, I always know she's fighting.
RFK jr is out, but his brain worm is still expected to be a write in candidate with 2-4% of the vote. “As an independent worm, one disenfranchised by both the progressive worms of NY and CA, and the far-right red worms of SD, I’m devoted to doing the right thing for all worms who find themselves trapped inside the skull of a Kennedy.”
I think I'm gonna rewatch the entire roll call this weekend. I missed the beginning (and Lil Jon!) and just saw they opened the whole thing with "Let Me Clear My Throat' which is a total nod to the hilarious "Bring it On" meme. :0)
Were there a lot of prominent Democrats at the Republican convention? I don't remember seeing anything about that.
But, it's not surprising. It's like the asshole on the playground who has to run through all the games and disrupt them, not because he wasn't invited to play but because the most fun they can have is fucking with other people's fun so they can't have it.
Not letting Ruwa Romman give that speech is a massive unforced error which cut out 20% of the volunteer base at a start and will quite probably lose Michigan.
The Cease Fire protestors are infiltrated by Republican ratfuckers. The whole thing is influenced as an attack on Democrats, rather than Republicans who are the primary movers. The military sales are not as simple as people pretend. When Biden put a pause on bombs that are associated with civilian death, both sides of the aisle came at him and a bill written to force him to let the sale go forward.
It is absolutely futile to only protest presidents for supporting Israel militarily as he is required to do. A slim majority of Americans wanting to stop arms sales means nothing. Politicians are only concerned with their constituents. They need their constituents to support the idea as well as money to resist the hardcore pro-Israel lobby that will try to replace them with someone more pragmatic.
Neither would I, because "wiping out Hamas" is not possible as long as the Israeli occupation endures. I beg of you to consider that "you must be THIS pro-Israel to enter" is exactly one of the thing that sunk Biden's candidacy.
Terrorism was not caused by the occupation. The occupation was caused by the terrorism. Until Palestinians accept their part in digging the hole they are in, or at least stop digging, they will stay in the hole. And no, Palestinian apologists are not who sunk Biden. It was the perception that he was too old to make it another four years. Yes, most Americans would like to see the suffering of Gazans end, but not at the cost of leaving Gaza in the control of mass murderers, gang rapists, and kidnappers. You must be at least that pro-Israel to have any chance of winning an election.
LET’S GO!!!!!!! Proud to be a Wonker! Wonk? What the hell do we call ourselves? Well, whatever- I’m proud. Thanks, Trix and crack team of whip-smart warriors, for informing and entertaining us. You are so, so important and pivotal, even, to our survival of the PAB years, and WE FUCKING DESERVE a WIN!
Boss Hogg done got younger.
It must be for all them years of chasing them Duke Boys.

I was bummed when Biden got into the race. Same with Bernie. Warren would have been awesome.
The coverage was much enjoyed and appreciated. Hope the Wonkettes all had a stupendous time.

Afterward, you can either use the Spotify playlist or this Youtube playlist. I like the Youtube one because music videos! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GxWmSVv-cY&list=PLjqsJqhAFKQDzayBjERTmwtj8wGEpImh-&index=1
Thanks for the tip!

So big, so strong, so powerful.
There weren't many prominent Republicans at the Republican convention, really: not ex-Presidents or VPs, for sure.
What do you mean? Tulsi Gabbard was there!
(I think. Or maybe she wasn't. Who cares.)
wtf is Vivek even doing there? Go get your own convention you hasbeen.
Also, you are right, that is a VERY good letter. I guess they were already too booked, but they maybe should have considered making some room here
Well done you guys!
Her: you need to write a reason
Me: OK, fucking fine, done
Her: Uh
Me: Yeah, that's your doctorate
Her: Fuck you
Me: Fuck you
Her: I will kill you
Me: Try it
and that's how you tech company
"All politics is local."
Tip O'Neill
"All politics is loco."
Tip O'Ertables
"All politics is how we show you weirdos how much we love you."
Tip the Wonkette staff, for crying out loud...
WE ARE NOT WEIRDOS!
We're filthy fuckaducks.
THANK YOU!
Just having a reliable place to find a live feed without talking heads, with comments if I cared to read them from friends only: priceless

no, we won't lose Michigan.

She wouldn't say that peace requires wiping out Hamas. Of course she couldn't say that.
Neither would I, because "wiping out Hamas" is not possible as long as the Israeli occupation endures. I beg of you to consider that "you must be THIS pro-Israel to enter" is exactly one of the thing that sunk Biden's candidacy.
