I think thats mostly just because the rating scale is based on what circulates at wide enough acclaim to be perceived by lots of people. So the bar is set much higher than the average because we only really wanna engage selectively with the relatively much smaller amount of stuff of reasonable baseline quality

    Really interesting, thats cool as fuck. I wish they expanded more on specifically how cooking contributes to pollution. Is it the use of gas for cooking? Fumes from cooking oil?

    Cool read thanks for posting

    I voted early.

    I think electoralism is a tool with limitations but I also think we can't afford to use all available tools to protect people. Even if its just harm reduction, we have an obligation to the people whose heads are on the chopping block.

    Protect your community. Go vote and then go get involved in organizing.

    If you're not already connected to local organizing efforts where you are, start looking for ways to change that:

    • Look up if there are any mutual aid hubs around you
    • go to protests and ask around
    • try to get involved with food not bombs and see if you can get linked in with more efforts
    • If ICE/CBP were sent to your state, you might ask folks who organizes ICE watch in your area. Here in central NC thats a workers rights group called Siembra

    Any efforts to protect our futures and our neighbors will happen through local organizing with people in YOUR community, where YOU are at. If you want a democracy, this chapter of history seems to demand that we work for it; start figuring out how to get connected.

    If you have advice or encouragement for folks, please feel free to share it ❤️

    I'm playing the following following platinum rom hack, so its been fun having my Pokémon follow me around.

    Just beat the elite four so now I'm probably wrapping up my time with the game, and will eventually move on to gen 5 (I'm playing through each gen moving through the regions, I've not really played any modern games so I'm looking forward to trying them :)

    a picture of a 3DS screen showing a Pokémon trainer in the middle and three Pokémon on each side. From left to right, bastiodon, garchomp, spiritomb, rotom fan, toxicroak, and the blue and green variant of gastrodon. There's confetti falling, and at the top of the screen it says "League Champion! Congratulations!" and at the bottom it says "Cris ID 03050 Time: 126:50"
     

    It was hard to get a good picture, sorry it's not that amazing of a photo 😅 thoughts on how to better photograph a smashburger are welcome if something comes to mind

    Just some cheap buns
    Two smashed pattes on each (w/salt and pepper)
    American cheese
    Sliced poblano
    And ketchup & mayo

    I used to really like doing fresh jalapeno, but now generally have to avoid spicy food for dumb reasons so poblano has been a nice substitute.

    For the patties you just roll ground beef into a ball roughly the size of a golf ball, maybe a tad bigger if you want, get your cast iron super hot, and then place your patty ball on the cast iron, and smash it down with a suitable metal implement- I use a flat, non-slotted cookie scraper and use the butt of a silicone spatula to press down on the top of the spatula since it's hard to get good leverage on the cookie scraper without putting your hand too close to the sputtering hot pan

     

    Was surprised no one bothered to post this give how big of a reaction this story got.

    Wanted to post the update and correction cause that deserves to be seen just as much. This seems like a reasonable, thoughtful handling of the issue.

    I still don't really wanna use Ubuntu though 😅
