“Y’all stop teasing them chickens,” Usha hollered to her children, letting the screen door shut behind her. She turned back to the stove, her bare feet slapping on the checkered linoleum.
“Usha!” JDcalled, “I’m home.” He set down his knapsack and kissed her on her cheek.
“Well, don’t be expecting no dinner yet,” Usha said, unimpressed, hands on her hips.
“What are we having?” JD asked, lifting the lid of the bubbling pot.
“Chicken vindaloo and dumplings,” she said, hitting his hand with a wooden spoon.
“It smells delicious,” he said.
“Them childrens have been a damn right nightmare today, rilin’ up them chickens, playing in the mud from the snow.” Usha said.
“Don’t you want me to have a talk with them?” he asked, taking her in a hug and trying to dance to the bluegrass blaring from the living room.
“Nah,” she said, “I still have a yardstick, I can’t take care of ‘em.”
JD tried to twirl her, and she pushed him away. “I’ve got to watch that vindaloo.”
“You know I still love you like the day we met,” JD said. She waved him away like a fly.
“What that damn old fool have you doing at work t’day?” Usha asked, stirring her pot.
“I tweeted a few things, waited for Doanld to die, usual Vice President things.”
“We’re having this on mashed potatoes,” Usha said, pushing her hair out of her face with a forearm, “you best get to peelin’ ‘em.”
“Yes, dear,” JD said, sitting down at their rickety kitchen table.
“I want you to do somethin’ about that backyard washer this weekend, take it to the dump or something,” she said.
“I’ll leave it by the side of the road somewhere,” JD said, “as is traditional in Appalachian culture.”
“Uh, huh,” she said. “Or you can take it to the dump like I said.”
“Everyone has their traditions,” JD said, peeling a potato, dicing it, and slipping the pieces into a bowl of salted water. “Tradition is important.”
“And we’re having ‘naners,” Usha said. “Miracle Whip’s in the fridge and I got the peanuts all crushed up.”
Not very obscene.
What horrors does SugarFree have planned for future installments of this?
If you don’t know what naners are, you don’t know the horror of the piece.
These Naners?
Dairy-free ice cream? That is horrifying.
Nope, that’s just a gay couple.
According to the google:
In cannabis cultivation slang, “nanners” is a colloquial term for the male reproductive organs (stamens) that sometimes emerge directly from the buds of a female cannabis plant.
My guess would be a form of Banana pudding, but we’uns use crushed up oreos rather than peanuts.
Bobarian:
I will defer from trying your banana pudding if Miracle Whip (or mayo) is an ingredient. Locally, I’ve always seen banana pudding served with vanilla wafers.
For those too cowardly to ask, a naner is a banana cut into thirds, rolled in Miracle Whip and then crushed peanuts.
🤢🤮

Even in nawthern PA and therefore adjacent rural NY it’s crick.
I’m among those where a crick and a creek are two different things, both of which are different than a stream, a rivulet, or a brook.
Which one of those do you catch the feesh in?
Crick, can confirm. I also use melk in my cereal at breakfast.
It’s only been in the last few years that I learned “bayou” had an actual definition and not just a variant of “swamp.”

I now want to make chicken vindaloo and dumplings.
I wouldn’t say no to that.
Noodles, biscuits, or filled dough?
Are you sure it’s actually chicken?
I’m thinking traditional butter, flour, and baking powder style. Perhaps with some garlic or curry powder added.
Chicken, possum… it all eats.
I guess I’m back to the Fuentes beat. The report making the rounds is from some spinoff of the ADL that examined 20 tweets, unless there’s something else I’m not familiar with. 20 fucking tweets, and frankly I’d just as soon consider it a psyop the other way as evidence of anything on the part of Fuentes. It’s fucking Twitter/X. It’s literally the most useless platform to pay to drum up engagement on. You can’t really monetize that shit as a creator.
Yea, you can point to engagement on X as some form of dick measuring, but that’s about it. His main claim to fame isn’t really his Twitter following. No content creator I know of really cares about the Twatter? It’s just mindless trolling.
HE’S JUST LIKE HITLER, ONLY CONTROLLING A BOT ARMY!
The other side of this is that the same people who are arguing he’s been artificially boosted or paid for this himself are the SAME assholes who have attempted to deplatform him in the first place. They went after every revenue stream the guy had and he was relegated to hosting his shows on services that you never heard of until Rumble. And he came back from the dead, but you want me to believe it’s all bot farming? Think about that one for a moment.
Even IF he played games to juice his numbers, it would be after years of having his views suppressed with every dirty trick in the book. Until recently he could only except payment for merch with bitcoin because no payment processor would touch him.
I actually do know a groyper, as we shall say. My asshole brother who started watching just before the death of Kirk. It’s an anecdote, but yes, his reach is growing. It’s very easy to try and manipulate the algorithm unless you think Obama really has like 1 billion followers on Twitter. It’s very different to actually harness that and make a profit and build a legit following.
What I’m saying is that if his message didn’t have appeal to a segment of the population, amplifying his fucking tweets would mean jack shit because it would just be noise that people would tune out especially over time.
There is a real audience there. It is quite large. And it is growing.
Fuentes is definitely being used by leftists to try to delegitimize/divide MAGA. The bots could well be a leftist op (“look how popular Nazism is with MAGAts!”). Or they could be a Fuentes op to raise his profile – for an influencer, clicks/views/profile is everything. There’s no question he has an audience; the question is how big is it, really?
I remain skeptical of the bot thing. Not only have they used every dirty trick in the book to ruin this guy over the years and suppress his views, but Fuentes is literally feuding with Musk. The CEO of the fucking of the platform he’s being accused of gaming.
Musk called him a fed, but refused to bring any receipts (it’s also funny because his ass was literally working with the Trump admin technically making him a fed himself). And if he had smoking gun evidence that Fuentes’ following was truly just inorganic, I’d think he’d have presented it. If anyone should have that, it’s him.
I’d also emphasize again that a lot of people have tried the bot farming shit and it amounts to nothing for them because if your message doesn’t resonate with people, your message just echoes into the void.
Again, the NCRI report examined 20 fucking *recent* tweets. The sample size here is very low, but they trumpet their findings as absolute fact and every media outlet regurgitates it as so. More than someone using this to drive a wedge in MAGA, it could very well be that someone looking to discredit Fuentes boosted his engagement on a recent sample for this report. Doesn’t sound that wacky to me at all give who his enemies are and what they’ve done in the past.
And all that is taking their findings at face value and that the data isn’t just fabricated.
Their argument that he’s directly ordering it because he calls for retweets is laughable to me on its face and doesn’t make their report more credible at all.
Remember that these are the same sort of arguments they used to drum up Russiagate. When the dust settled most of the accounts they labeled as Russian propaganda turned out to be Americans. And the platforms knew that at the time and were saying it. We have the Twitter files to prove it.
If anyone has the hard data to back this all up, it’s Musk. Who again…appears to fucking hate Fuentes. So why the fuck are we looking at a sample size of 20 recent tweets?
Final point on that. 20 recent tweets don’t prove that his rise was inorganic at all. He’s already risen. He’s already popular and entering the mainstream. His non-delusional critics recognize that he’s intelligent and capable of putting together persuasive arguments. DataRepublican begrudgingly admits this, though shits on the conclusions he draws about Jews/Israel.
Way more data from better sources is needed for me to reach any of the conclusions people are drawing from this.
I don’t have any reason to think that Fuentes is involved in bot farming, any more or less than any other ‘influencer’. But he absolutely is an engagement farmer, and his method of engagement farming is not far off from Charlie Kirk’s method.
Charlie was a past master of what B.J. Campbell refers to as the ‘scissor statement’ – a quip that will be interpreted differently by members of different political affiliations. These kind of statements, when posted to social media, naturally cause a lot of heat-over-light back and forth controversy, and therefore result in a lot of views and clicks.
Nick uses a cruder form of the same concept. Instead of statements that will be interpreted differently depending on one’s politics, he just goes for statements that are controversial according to the mainstream. Same result, just a bit more obvious.
Sargon put out a short video about the Piers Morgan interview. What I found interesting is how fast the fans of Fuentes dug up information on Morgan and made Piers look like a fool.
And… Sargon put out a second short video on his other channel. In short, agrees with Mr. Imprudent. Just uses more words.
As others have said, he is the entirely predictable backlash to identity politicking. I still have to laugh because I remember when a spic/mic/wop wouldn’t pass in a white supremacist organization.
It’s big tent white supremacism.
White mongrelization supremacy? I doubt that there are real adherents to that.
Hybrid vigor beeyotch!
The Nazi Lowriders had a Latino president for a while.

Surf Nazis were better.
The clips I saw of his interview with Morgan were entertaining because he didn’t play the mainstream media game. When called a racist he just laughed and doubled down, at which point Morgan clutched his pearls.
https://rumble.com/v72t0y4-piers-morgans-attack-on-fuentes-backfires.html
But I have no interest in investing time with him or Candace Owens.
I mean, that interview was comedy gold to me. It’s the first of these interviews I watched.
Calling yourself racist even if you don’t mean it (I saw a clip where he flat out said he’s not when talking to Crowder – he was goading Morgan with that answer and blatantly so) isn’t going to appeal to most of Morgan’s audience. But Fuentes is talking to a portion of it that is alienated and fed up. His shit is not going to play well with normies. Not even MAGA boomer normies.
And I’ve said this before, but it’s very tough to figure out when he or his audience are joking and when they aren’t. There’s no line for them that they won’t cross. These are people, Gen Z types and some millenials, who grew up with the internet and particularly the darkest parts of the internet. They aren’t even edgelords. They are completely desensitized to what normal older generations or the progs who are part of the hivemind find repugnant.
I think he’s crossed the line into anti-Semitism. I think you could fairly label him as racist. I don’t think he’s quite a Nazi. I don’t think he wants to bring back gas chambers or cross burning on front lawns, but I’m no expert. It’s white nationalism and race realism or race essentialism. Whatever the fuck you want to call it.
Seriously. If he wants to peel off racist Nazis from the GOP more power to him, I think most of them will be OK with that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There’s an interesting overlap/resonance between white nationalism and deep libertarianism. The latter posits that you can only have a minarchy in what amounts to a high-trust society. The former posits that high-trust societies exist almost entirely in countries that are overwhelmingly white. The common thread is likely cultural – high-trust societies came to be in Europe and those of its colonies that were also overwhelmingly white. The difficulty is in making the connection between pale skin and cultural outcomes.
Casual observation proves that this is full of shit. Unless you’re* going with the out that Japan, Korea, and Singapore are all ‘overwhelmingly white.’
The truth is, high trust societies require broadly shared cultural beliefs. That’s it. The American melting pot had this at one time, before the Progressives marched through the schools…
* – this is an editorial “you’re.”
‘Modern’ Singapore was certainly born out of the British Empire, and Japan quickly westernized in many ways after meeting with the US and Brits, so those are heavily ‘white’ influenced, in that way.
The homogenized nature of Japan, and especially Korea, is also a modern rarity. Once Japan modernized, it was easy for their ‘cohesive’ cultures to adapt ‘n adopt the New Ways, in many respects.
I hope Usha knows how good she’s got it. Cooking indoors on a stove instead of out in the front yard over an open fire made with cow dung. You don’t see that back in the old country.
Nah, she’s a Brahmin; they’re like 90% White.
I did enjoy Usha, who as a Brahmin is likely the equivalent of Indian nobility, as 90% white trash.
I worked with a guy who referred to his background as white-trash and he married a Mexican woman who is a doctor. Both sets of in-laws think their’s married down (and he found that funny as hell).
JD is such a cuck, letting Usha pawn off the children’s work on him.
Frighteningly wholesome.
Chicken Vindaloo with dumplings actually sounds pretty good about now.
Didn’t we hear Usha was leaving JD cause he’s boffing Erika?

More than 2.5 million US teens, roughly 1 in 10, were casual cannabis users in 2023, while an additional 600,000 teens were considered addicted to the drug.
Experts have long warned that weed can harm brain development, increase anxiety, depression and psychosis and impair coordination and decision-making in adolescents.
Add CHS to the list of concerns. Emergency rooms have seen such a steady rise in CHS cases over the last decade that the World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently added official diagnostic codes.
You can’t end the war on drugs. There’s too much money in it.
You can’t end the war on drugs. There’s too much money in it.
One problem is that those of use who want to end the war on (some) drugs often dismiss or underplay the concerns of the drug warriors, casting them as just some sort of puritanical Karens with large sticks firmly embedded in their rectums. Some of that is even true, figuratively and literally.
But there are legitimate harms associated with most drug use. Legal status has only marginal relation to harm, on both sides. Illegal drugs can be and are harmful to people in many cases, just as legal drugs can be. A lot of drug warriors come from that harm prevention POV. We – if I may use the royal formulation – need to recognize that and not casually dismiss all of them as busy-body fuddy-duddies who are harshing everyones buzz.
We do ‘our’ ’cause’ a dis-service by too readily dismissing the harms to individuals that can/do occur from drug use. ‘We’ need to make the argument from both a principled – you own yourself – and practical – the harms of criminal prevention outweigh the benefits, at least at a ‘societal’ level – terms. Don’t sweep the harms under the rug. Don’t pretend they don’t exist. And don’t dismiss (all) ‘drug warriors’ as stuck-up prudes and/or only caring about the financial and power benefits that accrue to them from the drug war. Always the direction of cause and effect…
I’ve witnessed addiction first hand. It’s not pleasant. Also here in NYC I get to witnesses the externalities it causes every time I come to the office.
The problem is there is no argument for the prohibition of drugs that didn’t originate in prohibition against alcohol, and it is only hypocrisy that distinguishes the two. Further, we have a large sector of the economy dedicated to the proposition that chemically altering your body is a good thing, as long as abetted by a prescribing physician. Purely living as nature intended without any kind of relief? Good luck selling that to the mainstream.
JI: Unless you’re someone like Dr. Chet formerly of these parts who would be bedridden without opioid painkillers.
Most of the problems of illegal drug use are the consequences of drugs being illegal to posses, illegal to sell, illegal to buy, and illegal to use. Being a criminal is very bad for your quality of life.
Some percentage of the population will be susceptible to addiction . . . just like with alcohol. And yes, there are serious personal, familial, and societal consequences to addiction. But making addicts criminals, does not help anything. Ever.
at JI
I’m not disagreeing with any of that, quite the opposite. Simply saying that arguing against the drug war by dismissing the concerns of those who pursue as purely puritanical or financial is not a productive – nor accurate – course of action.
Ted S. – I’m not arguing against better living through chemistry; just the hypocrisy about it.
PM – as with all forms of liberty, some will abuse it. *cough* guns *cough* Idiots that think otherwise don’t deserve my consideration.
But making addicts criminals, does not help anything. Ever.
I’m not sure I’d use the categorical ‘ever’; too many anecdotes – yes n=1, no accounting for population vs. individual level, etc. – of users who claim their life was turned around because of legal interventions. Not acknowledging that does not further the cause of ending the drug war.
WRT to most of the problems associated with drugs are a consequence of the legal status – that’s the more effective argument to make. My whole point was that, all too often, we tend to dismiss out of hand that using drugs – yes, both legal and illegal, but we’re talking about the drug war – can and is harmful to many individuals to one degree or another, and people concerned about that are just a bunch of prudes. That is not a winning tactic to pursue, is not going to convince people, and provides cover for drug war advocates who *are* financially motivated and/or prudes.
We had better acknowledge that our preferred policies are not without cost. Reducing the multitude of harms associated with the war on drugs is *not* a panacea and too often we pretend it is. Will it be better? One certainly hopes so and I think it will be (though my motivation is more rooted in individual autonomy than harm reduction, which certainly won’t fly with the general population), but let’s not pretend people aren’t going to be harmed by legal drugs. Too often we do to try to pretend that so as to not weaken our arguments and, to some degree, signal superior virtue compared to the drug warriors.
users who claim their life was turned around because of legal interventions.
Some addicts will not seek help or accept help until they have been arrested.
OK. That’s still not a justification for making them criminals. I would guess that far, far more people have their lives ruined by being arrested.
“users who claim their life was turned around because of legal interventions”
Your serious addicts don’t turn around until their life hits rock bottom. Getting arrested/incarcerated can definitely count as “rock bottom” for some people.
If someone is not swayed by cost/benefit arguments in either economic, liberty or political terms, then their REAL objection to drugs (and thus their willingness to keep the WoD) is a moral one.
And morality can’t be argued. Just mocked.

There is a pedestrian bridge over the highway I drive to work that has been taken over by the “current thing” protests.
They had “NO KINGS” for a while and then DEPORT ICE.
Today it was END GUN VIOLENCE.
It’s always around a dozen or so people and a few of them are in those inflated costumes.
I always wonder what kind of people have nothing to do at 7:00 in the morning and how many are on welfare or something.
I can’t tell if their ages or anything but it always annoys me.
I’ll be disappointed if you’re not rolling coal as you pass under that bridge. Likewise, when you get by the gaggle of bicyclists in their billboard outfits.
Rolling coal is wasteful. Ron is too stoic to do something so wasteful.
I’m usually driving my car to work.
Also, my truck doesn’t roll coal very long, once the turbo lights it cleans up pretty quickly.
“once the turbo lights it cleans up pretty quickly”
As it should. A puff is perfectly fine and benefits power as the turbo spools it goes away, pouring unburned fuel through the exhaust is just being obnoxious.
I never got the appeal of doing it.
I remember one time a diesel truck club put out a video from one of their meets.
I was watching it and thinking maybe I should go to their next meet and wondering why I never thought to go.
Then in the video they were all puffing smoke and rolling coal.
I thought to myself, “Oh yeah. that’s why”.
Older retired people with incomes and paid rabble rousers and nonprofit employees. For some it’s probably their job.
there are legitimate harms associated with most drug use.
Without a doubt. Opium dens were not romantic.
Perhaps not, but they kept the fiends out of doorways.
All those marijuana using teens will do so much better if we throw them in the clink.
Drugs will ruin your life.
If you are caught using drugs, they will throw you in jail and ruin your life.
Enforce vagrancy and panhandling laws and statutes. The people violating those as a consequence of using are the ones who have gone off the rails.

“Her father is American BTW.”
I was wondering that from her picture.

Minister in charge of Economic Security
Minister in charge of a Society of Well-Ordered and Harmonious Coexistence with Foreign Nationals
Minister of State for “Cool Japan” Strategy
Minister of State for Intellectual Property Strategy
Minister of State for Science and Technology Policy
Minister of State for Space Policy

what the fuck is wrong with japs?
You ask that about this woman and not the office she holds?
According to my wife, many things.
But she would also stress that she is Okinawan, not Japanese.
Legit LOL here at work!
Although as much as she bitches about the Japanese, she admits the Okinawans are also very much conformist rule followers.
Her mom is still scared to go outside without a mask, not because she is scared of COVID, but she is worried somebody will complain if she doesn’t.
Should we talk about the Ainu? Clue people in that Japan isn’t as homogeneous as it is portrayed?
Sounds like the Okinawans and Sicilians should hang out.
The other day I was going to make a joke about Somalians being the Sicilians of the Arab world.
We do ‘our’ ’cause’ a dis-service by too readily dismissing the harms to individuals that can/do occur from drug use.
I can’t help thinking a lot of those harms are overblown or simply none of my business. And, of course, I can’t help thinking how much of the money thrown at “the drug problem” has been wasted, or worse.
I’m lucky. I don’t have to step over any junkies when I go out. If there are homeless encampments here, I have never seen them.

It doesn’t take a political genius to recognize that things are in free fall over at the White House. Less than a year after staffing his administration with a cadre of bumbling goons valued only for their slavish devotion to his ego, President Trump now finds himself leading a government wholly incapable of governing.
Forgive my lack of surprise.

If anyone in Trump’s White House is actually getting any work done, they’ve done a good job hiding it from the public.
Conclusive proof. Say no more.
Pay no attention to ICE. Or lowered gas prices. Or affordable eggs.
Or the FBI posting arrests for child trafficking.
zOMG they are withering under an avalanche of bullshit Democrat hatchet jobs!!!
I’ll take that over your team’s all-too competent destruction.

lol This author is a few cards short of a deck.
No shit – with what the author hails as “governing” I am all for a total absence of it.
Myself, I could use a little less governing. Or, you know, a lot less.
My arse usually hurts after a proper governing.
Trump’s crumbling administration is living proof that the best way to convince voters to elect Democrats is to let Republicans run things for a year.
——-
As America turns the page on 2025, Trump’s already overburdened and underqualified team will now have to add a tempestuous midterm election to its growing list of headaches. Republicans outside Trump’s orbit have serious doubts about his ability to save the party from a looming electoral reckoning now that the veil has slipped off the MAGA movement to reveal the sloppy mess that always churned just below its oily surface. They are right to be horrified at the nightmare that lurks below.

Champion’s League…hmm Madrid vs Man. City. Who to hate more?
Yeesh, that’s a tough one.
Piers Morgan was very happy to bang the (false) drum that most mass shooters are young white men.
Based on the definition that academics and the media use, most mass shooters are…black. I don’t know if that holds true if we isolate it to schools, but it’s true in the overall context.
Piers Morgan laughably tried to claim that the proportion of white people who commit mass shootings at schools is the same as the proportion of black males who commit violent crimes. Never cited any actual statistics.
How dumb do you have to be believe that?
Overall point is as stated last night – if Fuentes is going to be taken down, it isn’t going to be from the Piers Morgan’s of the world.
He then tries to claim that when people here he is racist they are going to assume that all of his points like wanting to live in a white neighborhood is just because of skin color. It puts the horse before the cart there. A lot of white people are going to hear that and say to themselves yea black neighborhoods are shitholes. And that they don’t have an aversion based on skin color, but behavior that is far more common from people with one skin color. Then we can argue all day as to why those behaviors are more common from people of certain races.
I don’t think Fuentes was born and said to himself I just don’t like their skin tone and then look for reasons to justify it. He looked at the actions people of a race were more prone to committing and he drew conclusions from that. The same conclusion that many white people have drawn and just don’t say out loud or in public.
If you can’t actually grapple with this shit on a realistic level, and you come at this all with the old liberal talking points you are going to lose the argument.
And then you have Morgan with a team of fact checkers while Fuentes seems to be just freeballing through this whole thing getting basic facts wrong and just lying through his teeth. It was complete sophistry.
Who’s arguing?
Me, obviously.
Nah, there’s people on here who dismiss Fuentes as just some little anti-Semitic Nazi. And my argument has been that you can’t just make him into a caricature and dismiss him. And now he’s making the rounds and making the intellectual lightweights who consider themselves thought leaders to be useless twats who take the beliefs they and society at large hold as givens. They aren’t.
Whatever his following is, we are beyond the point where you can just shrug it off. These are ideas now entering the mainstream political overton window.
Bro, I’ll partly agree with you. There is a crowd that Fuentes is claiming as his own, but he didn’t invent it, he just was shrewd enough to make himself a spokesman/leader. There is also a small kernel of truth in the grievances that contemporary young men have, and it is being told they are not legitimate that makes them look for someone who will validate them.
This particular anime started 9/23. The Israeli invasion of Gaza was 10/27 the same year.

The parallel with propaganda coming from Hamas at the exact same time was something I still remember.
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End (Sousou no Frieren) is one of my top 10 anime of all time
I’m not much of an anime fan, yet I thoroughly enjoyed it.

U.S. forces on Wednesday seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, President Donald Trump said.
“We’ve just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela — a large tanker, very large, the largest one ever seized actually,” Trump said during a meeting in the Roosevelt Room at the White House.
We have become pirates.
Save that for Friday evening.
I don’t think anyone has brought up the real reason behind the administration’s saber-rattling against Venezuela – they’re attempting to cut off the only western-hemisphere market for Russian oil and military hardware.
I mean, I think the notion that Trump believes they have helped rig elections is probably more believable than the fact that he’s overly concerned all of a sudden that Venezuela is cozy with Russia. The people pushing him behind the scenes may care about that, but I don’t think that’s what motivates Trump.
Hey, when we do it it’s cute. Now if they did it it’d be an act of war. Guess it’s not really about drugs though although those with triple digit IQs already knew that.
Not Dream Whip?
Nope. I grew up eating them with my great-grandparents, so I didn’t think much of it (although I was never a fan.) I only realized the horror they evoke in normals when I got older.
The poverty food horror story I grew up with (which most of my extended family loves) is dill soup. Dill based broth, dumplings, and Velveeta melted into it.
You should make one for OMWC the next time you see him.
