Trump’s staff hides negative news from him to keep him happy. Musk was so affected by getting booed at Dave Chappelle's performance he had a mental breakdown. Their egos are horribly weak. This is how we defeat them—unyielding insults and mockery.

This is what we trained for. This is our moment. We need to get a lot louder and way more petty.

I believe in you.

Imperial collapse speed run

#Opinion: Many Boomers have it made, Some Millennials are self-obsessed & think liberalism is all about “me”. Yet, Gen X + Z are broke, progressive, & in many cases smarter than prior generations.Social media is a lie, it’s about power, narcissism, and greed.

Meatball Night

It was Meatball Night for me and the new roomie, his first since getting here. He's on the go constantly, and today I had a dentist appt, my yearly cleaning, and stopped at GroceOut on the way home to grab the last of the things we needed. (Aside: Eggs were $12/doz for mediums, they were $7/doz for large on April 2 when we were there last.)

I used beef, lamb, and hot italian sausage (pork), a pound of each. Finely minced onion, garlic, and red and yellow bell pepper, with the Italian breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, four eggs and a cup of water. You combine the veg with the breadcrumbs cheese and the eggs and water, and let that sit and absorb the water.

When it has absorbed the water, tear your different meats into chunks and get in there and mash. if you have a large capacity stand mixer, go for it. My trusty old KSM-90 isn't big enough to handle the volume, so I just get in there and squish. It's gonna be ridiculously gooey and messy so have fun with it.

This time it was 44 smallish balls in the batch. Here they are raw:

And after 30 mins at 350:

Just set 'em aside while the sauce cooks:

Chopped onions/garlic, the rest of the red and yellow bell peppers and brown creminy mushrooms, sliced. Saute the veg in a generous amount of olive oil. Once the onions are about clear, and the peppers are still bright, add a can of diced fire-roasted tomatoes, and two cans of tomato sauce, and 2/3 of a quart box of Beef Stock. Throw in a can of black olives if you like 'em. Cook all that down for about an hour and a half until the oil has emulsified, and the sauce has thickened. Like so:

Serve over the Pasta of Choice in this house, Linguine. The twirler's pasta. If you're a twirler, you know. Spaghetti? pfft. Amateur. Linguine...it's flat...the discerning twirler's choice.

And a splendid time was had by all. Yeah, I should've gotten a cheap loaf of french bread to make into garlic bread, but truthfully, the $12 eggs shot a hole in my grocery-gettin' groove. And now my EBT has $3.83 left on it until May 1.

I feel so goddamn liberated, lemme tellya.

But the freezer will be fulla meatballs and the fridge will have a vat of imminently stretchable red sauce and linguine is still cheap. There's a 10-lb reserve of dry pintos, 7 lbs of rice, I've got 15 pounds of flour, plenty of yeast, butter and milk, and enough of the three sugars to last a couple weeks.

We may be broke, but I'll be goddamned if we're gonna starve.

We have very unserious people being manipulated to fear non-existent problems as robbers and thieves on the Right obliterate freedoms/rights/social safety net/earned benefits.

How can you explain economics to people who have no interest and no awareness of what they do not know?
