Get some dried wood-ear or shiitake mushrooms. Soak them in boiling water to rehydrate them, then use that mushroom-infused water to make your noodles. If you’re using shiitake, fry them up in a pan; wood-ears are ready to eat without doing so.

Throw some kimchi in there, too. It’s good for your guts.

Thank the gods that police can now use big tech to harass people instead of relying on their teensy little brains. I bet their metrics have improved significantly.

The vice president’s pose as an enforcer of chivalry and rectitude in our politics is ludicrous on its face, given his apologetics for Donald Trump’s nonstop vicious personal smears. But this episode is of interest for another reason: El-Sayed’s stance articulates a bigger point about Vance’s craven compromises with the MAGA coalition’s racist and white nationalist elements that is 100 percent correct.

This is a great piece.

Many privately admit they’re stuck in an uncomfortable spot: By running too far from Trump, Republicans risk alienating the MAGA faithful or the president himself, whose super PAC is sitting on more than $400 million they desperately need deployed to help them win key races. But if the candidates keep Trump close, they could be dragged down by the president, as the unpopular war in Iran has increased costs for Americans across the country.

That’s his grift money though. No way he spends it on someone else.

Black’s lawsuit argues the subpoenas exceed the committee’s authority by seeking private information unrelated to Epstein or any legitimate legislative purpose. It asks a federal judge to declare the subpoenas invalid and prevent the committee from enforcing them.

“The Committee is on a fishing expedition that oversteps its authority and completely ignores its responsibility,” Black’s attorney, Susan Estrich, said in a statement. “This is no longer about finding the truth about Epstein. It is about trying to destroy Mr. Black.”

He sounds desperate. Congress has the inherent power to investigate anything because of it’s oversight role.

Not to get all “no true Scotsman” here, but if you don’t want to tax billionaires until they’re not billionaires anymore then you’re not even close to being on the left in my book.

It’s a fun series. It doesn’t take itself very seriously at all, but it has a lot of heart.

If you go in expecting a cheesy time then it’s great.

A VGHS gif in the wild? Nice.

Paxton isn’t going to debate Talarico, I guarantee it.

He’s more chickenshit than a henhouse full of lettuce.

He must hate people with fit legs?

We have tons of people who want to live in the US. Birth rates are not an issue unless you only want white children.

Ted Cruz doesn’t support democratic elections in the US, why would anyone trust that pigfucker saying that he supports them elsewhere?

He tried to overthrow the duly elected government.

Called it yet again.

Well, I’ve got responsibilities to the people who love me so I can’t play with my toy all day.

I look forward to your compulsive begging for scraps of my attention, but I’m done. I know you can’t help but reply though because you’re desperate.

Again, utterly predictable. I can conduct you like an orchestra.

No wonder you like being led by the nose like a good little Nazi.

Reply back, puppet.

Utterly predictable. You even stopped downvoting because I’m so in your head.

Dance for me, puppet.

But you can’t stop yourself because you crave attention.

You’re the open book of brain issues. Keep proving my point.

Weird, people don’t like Nazi shit. Crazy.

See? You’re still begging for my attention here.

Pathetic.

I’m sure it is. You must post all this dumb shit designed to get negative attention because your life is full of people who love and care about you.

You should go to therapy then.

But I love an inflated ego, carry on.

I guess that’s why you post your dumb troll takes: it makes you feel important. Some people can’t tell the difference between negative attention and positive.

Your mom should have hugged you at least once. The way you grew up isn’t normal.
