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.

I know for certain that my employer values my contribution because I've been late for work almost every day for decades & after the first 14 years they stopped talking to me about it. 👍 😀
Today I was ACTUALLY EARLY because if I drove in at my usual time I'd have had to stand outside in 23° winds.

This is one of the things I hate most about modern capitalism. The idea of making money has been fully peeled away from delivering any kind of goods or services that people would want to pay money for.

I think The Office reboot or spinoff or whatever it is should have been about a Weiss-takes-over-CBS situation

Their political philosophy hinges on a vision of white supremacy in which people who aren’t white are here at the privilege of white people, which they can revoke at any time, which they expect to be received with gratitude.
Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

If you’ve got a Senate Democrat who is not calling for new leadership, they’re part of the problem.
We should no longer trust Senate Dems who decline to come out against the leadership that led us here. Until proven otherwise, we should assume they were in on the game to fool their own supporters.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.
