So..I fell down a rabbit hole, and it turns people use koji to ferment or marinate..almost any kind of food. Some examples from the Internet:
Almost any kind of bean paste
Grains
Bread
Cheese - you can make ricotta taste like Parmesan
Butter
Vegetables
Meats - cuts curing times in half
Seafood

You have to admire the bloody-minded ambition of a pelican trying to eat a whole capybara (who seems utterly unconcerned).
The thing with pelicans is that they have ONE super-power & their brains default to "get it in your mouth & deal with it later."
Let's talk about the gular sac of the pelican.

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Having spent the last few years teaching them, I can assure you Gen Z women are serious as fuck about things.
WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

My god this is for real one of the most incredible speeches I’ve ever seen by an elected US politician: ‘And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is to dismantle the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This not only how we stop Trump, it’s how we stop the next one.’
Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

It's also the song Namjoon asked him to sing on that white shirt live that made Namjoon say 'I'm getting drunk on your voice'.
And I get it Joonie, I really do.
