  • Ah, I guess I'm rustic. I just do it in a big 7 litre stock pot with a mesh screen across the top. Steam escapes, and I can make enough for the whole family in one go. Takes about twice as long, but I don't mind. I add a little turmeric powder to my oil to get that movie popcorn uneven dye effect.

  • LAPD chief McDonnell realized he is a laughing stock when he says why he will not enforce the law banning fascist paramilitary invaders from wearing masks

  • Police chiefs are so politically powerful that they have forced mayors at times.

    It's honestly wild to see anyone think police would be the ones to save us right now.

  • I've just finished reading a book on the psychology of authoritarian followers. Turns out they actually find it really easy to compartmentalize and forget all the illogic of their beliefs. They don't look inward, and they don't connect the dots between beliefs and actions very accurately. They just follow the leader and cheer when that means hurting someone.

  • I'm no expert, but it seems IDing me for a seam ripper hasn't solved the issue.

  • Getting ranked choice in the presidential elections from this or any US administration? You'd have an easier time convincing a cop to let you borrow their gun.

  • You're good. I don't mean to downplay the importance of tackling knife crime, but my view is just that it ultimately stems from economic inequality, rather than it being too easy to get knives or whatever. People in jail get stabbed too, after all.

  • I can't resist the humour inherent to the fact that they refuse to pay tax, and also desperately are seeking immortality. Death and taxes are the quintessential unavoidable things! They are tilting at a windmill, and they want to cast us as their Rozinante.

  • Ah yeah no I wasn't thinking of having you reduce your sriracha sauce - that's a heavy lift just for popcorn that tastes like Takis. In Asian grocers in the UK (meaning India-centric), in the spice aisle they sell a ready made powder that mimics the sauce pretty well, and it sticks to hot popcorn. I had to look up the brand, I think it's Greenfields.

    I don't think a dried pea would pop like corn does, but it would be tasty if it did.

  • London knife crime vs viral content about London crime

  • Almost. The thing with the conservative mindset (referring to right wing authoritarianism generally, not Tories in particular) is that they are motivated by fear of others. Sorry for causing confusion, I'm not from here originally and I don't even make sense back home, sometimes.

    The graph illustrates a divergence between real knife crime and fears about knife crime on X (where the blame is seemingly laid on monetisation of posts).

    The dot I'm connecting mentally here is that preferential treatment is being given to fear-based posting about crime and minorities, which is exactly what you would do as a billionaire who wants to buy a mass media platform. A tale as old as semaphore, that.

    So, the idea of a right wing Londoner getting spooked by suspiciously boosted, factually misleading scare content promoted by an even richer, more right wing bastard kind of makes me laugh. They're driving each other crazier and crazier all the time, and ultimately it's not all that funny.

  • Popcorn kernels last a good while (old ones can be freshened up with a small amount of water the day before you pop them). Paired with nutritional yeast and sriracha powder it's a flavour bomb. Also you can buy real cheese powder, it needn't be the fake stuff.

  • Ball gang rise up. It's iconic, and dismembered men in formations wholesale, and knocked them down to boot. There's usually no need for the rest of these innovative horrors, they just seem unsporting.

  • I guess I had a kneejerk, a lot of times when someone starts up like this it always feels like a veiled "people don't like my favourite one" type of thing. He's pretty even handed and nuanced beyond that, credit where credit is due.

  • Weird to be on the same page as the CEO of Netflix. Today I'll think on how you really never know how much you have in common with others.

  • Look, I know how it seems. Yes, he's about as sharp as a wet bowling ball. And sure, he showed obvious signs of sundowning on a steadily increasing basis. But please, please don't forget that deep down, he also a completely heartless and evil man.

  • America has been coming into its final form ever since Jerry Falwell successfully melded religion and politics. That gave you Reagan, Trump, and everything that comes after.
