what a stone-cold maniac!, I am besotted
From the Wikipedia page on Jean Enthelme Brillat-Savarin: Brillat-Savarin was an early proponent of a low- carbohydrate diet. He considered sugar and white flour to be the cause of obesity and he suggested, instead, protein-rich ingredients: Sure enough, carnivorous animals never grow fat (consider wolves, jackals, birds of prey, crows, etc.). Herbivorous animals do not grow fat easily, at least until age has reduced them to a state of inactivity; but they fatten very quickly as soon as they begin to be fed on potatoes, grain, or any kind of flour. ... The second of the chief causes of obesity is the floury and starchy substances which man makes the prime ingredients of his daily nourishment. As we have said already, all animals that live on farinaceous food grow fat willy-nilly, and man is no exception to the universal law. |65| He promoted a diet that avoided starch, grains, sugar and flour. He recommended meats, root vegetables, cabbage and fruit. 661 Brillat- Savarin was concerned to reduce the use of fattening foods, but apparently did not consider cheese one of these.

Meet the standards, and the funds release. Refuse, and hundreds of billions sit in state accounts each month to accrue interest that benefits the good folks of whichever states step up.

If you’re serious about wanting to see major change enacted, and you believe the Dems have caved, then contact your Blue State treasurer and insist they create an escrow account to withhold federal funds. Here’s a good example of data to cherrypick for the call:
Employers across blue states withhold federal taxes from worker paychecks every year and send that money straight to the IRS. State legislatures can order them to stop. Pass a law requiring every employer in the state to redirect federal tax withholdings to a state escrow account instead of D.C. The money then sits in state control. Does the federal government want access? Then they can submit to independent audit proving funds will be allocated according to congressional appropriations, not redirected through executive action. Demonstrate spending complies with constitutional limits and active court orders. Prove compliance with anti-commandeering doctrine and due process protections. Pass the audit, get the money. Fail it, the billions stay in escrow until constitutional compliance can be verified.

Tressie McMillan Cottom on Bluesky March 24, 2025: Anyway, they're all playing in your face about Al. As soon as it deprofessionalizes everybody that the market hates because their credentials give them wage power, you'll be able to buy a LLM tamagotchi at the Family Dollar and we will all vaguely remember when these toys were a fix for everything
