^^^This for sure^^^
Great way to cook yellow squash, zucchini, and bell peppers. Toss with olive, balsamic vinegar, some salt and pepper, and you have a great side to go with almost anything.

Best thing about a grill like that is it doesn't take a half hour of prep to get ready.
I have used charcoal for many years but eventually stopped because for just two people (one of whom is a vegetarian), a charcoal grill was more work than necessary.

No need to apologize to Mr. Card. He is an alt-right nut job who wrote a book about how Christopher Columbus has been tragically maligned.

Look, Africa is just basically one big country, how can one expect our President to pay enough attention to know the difference between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Africa?
They are practically neighbors. There is only over 1500 miles distance between them...

Fuck that guy. I am out at least a few hundred dollars of my own money buying supplies for the protests I have helped organize this year.

I periodically traumatized my students by shaving off my beard once every few years.
They always are shocked that I look almost back to normal in less than two weeks.

As a teacher, I most definitely do need 250 pencils. Hell, I need a good 500 to make it through a school year.

Ironic to post that tweet while the Tangerine Twit is signing an Executive Order to have ActBlue investigated.

Next Democrat president needs to do the same with every Republican and church leader convicted of a sex crime.

Went from being okay with trans rights to being 100% "fully down" when I started to see the transformation of some of my students as they transitioned.
From teenagers who never felt comfortable in their own skin to proud and confident individuals.

This was the first book of yours I ever read and remains one of my favorite reads when I need to escape.

That is the kid who I give the option of either staying after class to pick up all the trash on the floor or have an office visit for this issue.
Though I bet mommy and daddy would have sent me angry emails about it.

This would be a perfect example I could use in my classes to show my students how bad actors would try to use math to confuse and mislead them - if I didn't teach in a blood red district.

This is the first time I can say that I have my representatives numbers on my phone's speed dial so I can tell them on a daily basis that they are all shit bags (but with slightly different phrasing).

It would be great if we had a mechanism for that evidence to be seen and evaluated by a third party to determine whether or not the evidence is sufficient to prove those allegations.
Wouldn't that be nice?

So proud to have this douche nozzle represent my state.

Canada alone, probably not.
But when the EU, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, and all of the other countries he applied tariffs to join in on Canada's side, I think that is another story all together.

The DNC will be making a hell of a mistake if they are not looking at helping him become a member of Congress.

The exact level of pettiness I will now strive for.

Sad thing is, my comment was mostly in jest.
But with our current shit show in charge, it cannot be entirely ruled out.
And yeah, almost 100% guarantee that there will be a rant posted.

What's the over/under on Krasnov sending in a spec ops team to "rescue" Duterte?

It's a good one. I have a signed copy I picked up second hand several years ago.

Very nice and reminds me of the early Eastman/Laird runs.

As I have become more and more jaded with seeing the politics of artists whose work I enjoy, I am glad to add you to my list of those whose work I can continue to support without any hesitation.

I am not so much about banning guns, but having training requirements for carrying in public. If my state wants to allow anyone who has the slightest desire to open or conceal carry, then I want to know that there is a minimum level of competence required.

Conspiracy theories are bad no matter who is spreading them. If we start throwing around wild accusations with the same abandon as QAnon nut jobs, how are we any better?

Same (though I am a Democrat, lol).
I am literally watching one of the counties largest employers making plans for MASSIVE staffing cuts due to loss of both state and federal funding.
And the blame is being put on Medicaid - 'cause of "too much fraud"

And too many of the people who will be hurt the most by this are cheering for it because their dear leader tells them it will hurt liberals.

Not to mention the cuts to the IRS means that businesses and billionaires will be getting a bonus tax cut in addition to their actual cuts as no one will be able to hold them accountable.

It is like this administration has no concept of the idea of soft power either.
It is like Trump has no concept of reaping indirect benefits.

Apologies for conflating the two terms, but my point remains the same.

Do we need embassies in countries we are sure to be at war with by the end of the year?

Hey, Trump promised we would return to the "Good Ol' Days."
You know, before modern medicine.

We all know the the Orange Idol's death cult are not going to believe anything that contradicts his verbal diarrhea.
Even when Krasnov contradicts himself, they will attribute his previous statements to AI or a deep fake. We are so unbelievably fucked right now.
