I'm imagining Jerry Seinfeld seeing this post and seething in impotent rage.

The only way this could have been any better is if the episode in question was "A Matter of Time. " Sure, it's a bit on the nose, but there are layers of meta there.

It's an impromptu epitaph.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine was supposed to take only a couple of days. With better information, they'd have known in advance that wasn't realistic.

You'll get about a pound and a half of stuff that is almost indistinguishable from ground beef, especially if you're putting it in a sauce-heavy or highly seasoned dish. Costs about 4$ a pound.

combine beef stock, liquid smoke, and sesame oil (and not to get too preachy, but it's super easy to convert to vegan with imitation beef stock and you'll never notice the difference), enough to cover the entire batch. Simmer until the liquid is entirely cooked down. Refrigerate overnight

Go to the Mexican isle at Wal-Mart, look for a package of crumbly beige stuff whose name eludes me at the moment - that's textured vegetable protein - a kind of proto fake-meat made from soy. Hydrate the stuff in cold water for 15 minutes, rinse and then in a pan you . . .

His family can take solace in the fact that America is more dangerous for minorities because of his martyrdom.

So let it be known that I do not find that argument persuasive. Whether it's eating a chicken sandwich because you're hungry or killing the propagandist who wants to genocide your girlfriend - it's expediency, not survival. A human intellect could find a better way.

So let me just remind you, apropos of nothing, of an anti-vegan argument people frequently make: human beings are part of the natural cycle of predator and prey. To condemn them for mere survival is like condemning a wolf for biting a human to protect his mate.

However, the Kimmel firing puts me in a position where even a simple reiteration of the principles I live by makes me look like I support what Trump is doing.

This is quite a pickle.

Charlie Kirk was outraged about the enduring systemic effects of American racism and would strenuously object if someone impugned the competence of Black professionals.

Kirk was a faithful Christian who believed God's grace should be reflected in our earthly laws, and thus gay marriage should not just be legal, but celebrated.

I think we should respond to all this whitewashing of Charlie Kirk's legacy by just lying about what he believed . . . and making him sound progressive. That way, the media will have to refute us by quoting him honestly.

The fascists in the White House just started calling it the Department of War because they love the fantasy of committing violence, and then they wasted taxpayer money by illegally changing the DoD's signage and letterhead to their new unofficial nickname.
