    This does not appear to be well known: kale really needs colder temperatures in order to taste best. It’s sweetest when it has been through a frost or two. Unfortunately that’s not always maximally profitable for Huge Giant Corporate farms and so your kale is grown in warmer temperatures and tends to be bitter.

    On the plus side, it’s incredibly easy to grow yourself.





  • LOL. Nice headline there. Not biased at all nope.

    Harris didn’t “back” Israel’s genocide. She just failed to be sufficiently performative in her condemnation of it and failed to distance herself from her own administrations pro-Israeli policies. If you think that’s not all hand-waving and that somehow Trump will be less supportive of Israel’s genocide I have some gold colored sneakers for sale.

    She did condemn it to be sure, but not enough to pass the purity test of those here in the US who felt that that acting against that genocide was far and away more important than preventing Americas rapid descent into a Christo-fascist oligarchy. Which, not incidentally, will happily support Israel’s complete and total erasure of the Palestinian people.

    Well done! Good job!







  • I don’t believe it’s helpful to be hyperbolic about these things or to come to conclusions supported only by speculation and innuendo. Let’s please be clear-eyed in how we handle the coming shit storm.

    Noted Trump sycophant Bondi did NOT “admit” there is an enemy list. That’s opinion on the part of TNR and it takes a certain amount of hand waving to get to “there is an enemy list”. She said “There will never be an enemies list within the Department of Justice”.

    I’m not saying there isn’t an enemy list - there is in Patel’s book after all - but this headline is at best deceptive.

    I see you also have never worked for a “non” profit. (this is a joke ha ha)

    Being registered as a nonprofit is about tax consequences. That’s all being a 501* means - you can still make money, you just can’t directly take it out either for yourself or shareholders. It’s just classifying profits differently. Technically, in fact, revenue - expenses = profit regardless of how it’s classified or what you end up doing with the excess money.

    So… many nonprofits exist to pay certain special people very high salaries under the guise of “doing good” and “having impact”.

    Yes I’m being a little obtuse about the word for sheets and geegles. But it’s to make a simple point: Almost all nonprofits exploit their workers by under-paying them in the name of “the cause”. Being a nonprofit and not paying shareholders or a private owner the excess money resulting from revenue-expenses (ie profit) should not exempt an entity from paying it’s workers fairly.


  • By using words like “revenue” and “impact” instead of “profit”. It’s magic!

    For example: “We expect everyone to accept a paltry, below-market wage to better support our mission so we can pay our executive director a ludicrously high salary and ensure our board gets regular fancy dinners have greater impact”





  • I used to make a lot of bread and things like pizza dough. I’ve even grown and ground my own wheat and other grains.

    And then my partner developed and/or decided they have a gluten sensitivity. Yes I’ve tried making gluten-free whatever but it’s not the same. I want my gluteny-goodness.

    I will harbor this resentment forever.
