And yet here we are mincing words about what primate vs monkey vs whatever other taxonomy humans are biological cousins with instead of dealing with the literal racism on display.

We should be more outraged at racism than we are about which words a news outlet used to describe the racism.

All of them when you “umm… ackshually we’re all primates” and ignored the context of literal centuries of white people depicting black people as monkeys to denigrate and dehumanize them.

I’m pretty sure Jamez Hoffmann did a video about that.

Good quality teas don’t need sugar. Asian grocery stores are a great source of higher quality teas that aren’t just the commodity grade tea dust that is in your average lipton tea bag.

I stand corrected, thanks for the context!

Probably autocorrect going from Melania to Melanie.

Ask him to share the passwords to all his bank accounts, when he refuses to just highlight that there are plenty of non-illegal things that you want to keep hidden.

You got any sources on that? because everything I’m finding is his very public support of the people protesting at the Hilton and is actively working to keep ICE out of NYC.

If I had to guess as to the why, it’s to paint Mamdani as “not as left wing as we were shown/expecting” which… I mean… he’s a democratic socialist, he’s still far better than Cuomo just letting ICE do whatever and infinitely better than some right wing nut job who would encourage ICE to do even worse.

It’s still good to hold him accountable to his established positions, but tearing him down because he’s not a perfect leftist is kinda Left Voice’s entire MO.

Just like every other trek series it takes a bit to grow the beard.

I thoroughly enjoyed Lower Decks, just because it’s a comedy doesn’t mean it isn’t serious sci fi with real stakes like any other trek show. It highlights how absurd the writing of trek throughout can be and still rolls with it, still treating that absurdity with the same seriousness as everything else crazy in the universe.

I would do a stir fry with something like these, slice them into coins, toss in a hot pan, add in some veggies like green beans or snow peas, and stir fry until tender. Then do some kind of flavorful stock or a seasoned soy sauce thickened with a bit of corn or potato starch. That’ll likely help with the blandness of the soy sausages.

The standards of today are still significantly better than even a hundred years ago. I mean think back to the time of windmills and watermills, to drive massive grindstones. It used to be grinding wheat carried very substantial risks that the flour would have strait up chunks of grindstone that broke off from the milling. London would have regular cholera outbreaks because they were dumping human waste into the Thames where their drinking supply was pulled from. Once they stopped doing that, cholera was dramatically reduced

At a certain point there are just acceptable risks to the regulations we have to the manufacturing processe we have and we as induviduals just need to be moderately careful with preparing our foods. Washing fresh fruits and veg is always a good idea, cook your food to proper temperatures to kill off enough bacteria, wash your hands when you prepare food, don’t prep raw meats on the same surfaces as fresh veg. If you get salmonella because you cut up raw veggies for a veggie board on a cutting board that you prepped raw chicken on no amount of regulation is going to protect people, and that’s with salmonella already quite rare in a lot of manufactured product, something like 1 in 20 or 1 in 25 at your average grocery store.

Unsafe? No, it was well below any regulations for unsafe dosages. However it was detectable above the average baseline which is valid cause for concern because more contamination could happen. It ended up that there was a steel scrap smelter near the shrimp packing facility that somehow got medical equipment that uses cesium-137 got into the scrap and as it was smelted down, a detectable amount of cesium got released into the air and ended up on the shrimp.

No real world politics crammed into it

My guy the original trilogy was about the Vietnam War that was literally happening in the 1970s when New Hope was released, the prequel trilogy was about the neoliberal stagnation and subsequent war on terror in the late 90s and early 2000s, the sequel trilogy is the one devoid of cultural relevance to any ongoing events and it suffered because it wasn’t relevant to anyone.
