I think "vast" majority is an overstatement. I realize the vote skewed in his direction among the older generation, but a majority is not a vast majority.
Not too sure America ever had a Justice system, only a money and power driven legal system which in some of its finer moments managed to approximate justice.
I've never married, but I've always had housemates in shared rentals. What this (humorous but with a definite core of reality) piece points out is exactly why I tend to highlight the simplicity and durability of cast iron instead of making it out to be some kind of finicky diva. The cleaning is so easy and quick, you don't have to worry about scratching it or overheating it, yadda yadda.
I honestly think the bad taste left over from some people being all hyper protective or finicky about their cast iron is just an unfortunate result of poor seasoning. I too was overprotective for the few early years when I thought I knew how to achieve a good coating but actually didn't yet. And all that, in turn, is just an unfortunate downstream effect of the fact that cast iron skipped a generation or two in so many families, so much knowledge and practice was lost and had to be restarted by word of mouth and the Internet. Alas.
A new housemate moves in, sees the several cast iron items, and typically says something like "ooh, I'll leave those alone, I wouldn't want to mess up your special wares." -- because of the many pansplainers they've already encountered before. I tell them "no, seriously, you can play rough with these pans, it's fine. All I ask is that you not leave them sitting in water overnight." There really isn't that much they could do to harm them.
I expect it to be (more or less) permanent
Why were they making a movie about Donald Regan?
Thing is, yeah they're fucking stupid but they're also voters who the Dems could have persuaded and hardly tried. Repeatedly spamming "vote for us or you get Trumped again" doesn't count as persuasion.
it's not even remotely close to half of the city burning down. But given the damage estimates are running somewhere around $150 billion, it's bad enough
Can I fully agree with you about them doing that, while also maintaining that in the long run insurance of all kinds will be unsustainable in light of the ongoing (and really just beginning at this point) climate catastrophe, not to mention the whole rest of the polycrisis facing humanity
I can't help feeling that the real bad news is not that online platforms have been ruined, but that people have been and remain dependent on them.
no, he'll block federal aid and claim that Palisades residents didn't rake their yards well enough.
