Microwaving is the best way to cook corn. It steams in the husk w/o boiling away sugars, the silk slides off w/o having to be picked off in strands & anyone watching is impressed AF.
Up to 3 fit in a triangle at once. Use 3-4 minutes an ear, rotating them along their axis once so they cook evenly.

really interesting to me how many professional political commentators have basically retconned the draconian immigration enforcement policies of Obama and Biden out of existence and have completely swallowed the right wing narrative of immigration enforcement

A normal cycle for an archive without a decent index is to use the search function, find a record with a keyphrase in it, use the kepyphrase as a known to reach an unknown scope / set of similar records. Nope. Not this index. No Records Found. Honey I just quoted a record you handed me.

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.
No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.
Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?
No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.
