  • The apathy of many us citizens to the idea that their government could possibly matter to them is a direct result of a massive legal, and influence campaign by far right elites, their representatives in government and their allies overseas. A functional state is supposed to have institutions to combat that.

    The effectiveness of the current far right coup is a failure of our institutions, and the low participation of many in the US is a symptom of that failure, not a cause.

    The world has never trusted the US. Because of all that stuff we do to it.

    Europe trusted the US, from around the mid 40s until the bush regime. That’s the so called “american century”, from the US entering ww2 until “WMDs in iraq” - about 60 years.



  • Looks great! Those potatoes look amazing as does the hollandaise. Have you tried making hollandaise with a little dill?

    There’s one brunch place here where the hollandaise is just miles better than anything i’d ever had, all others now seem bland in comparison. It was so good i forgot that hollandaise doesn’t normally have dill and started whinging about why places keep forgetting to add dill.
