Have a look at late night TV commentary shows. Seth Myers. John Oliver. Colbert. You don’t have to stay up late, they’re all on YouTube the next day. Might be the most honest news commentary available.

Edited to add I know nothing about Tokyo. I could draft a floorplan for a 500 sq ft New York studio that would be a perfect studio. I could do the the same with a New York one bedroom if I had 750 sq ft for it. My vote? I'll have to abstain.

History suggests that the systems will not be maintained until there are several disasters. But the disasters could be avoided if voters understood the importance of their water supply, and made clean water a priority. We will probably have to go through the former before we get the latter.

Yet another housing problem that could be solved but won't be generally as the homeless problem extends to people into their 90's and has for many years.

MAGA governance does not work. The world is getting a real life example of this and they’re not going for it.

Keep it classy, MAGAs.

Second. I ordered a hamburger from Wawa and got food poisoning a few weeks ago.

@wtg said in WTF Cookbook: From wtg: Risotto Ai Funghi in the Instant Pot 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped 1 cup arborio rice 1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms OR 1/2 cup dried porcini mushrooms, chopped and soaked to rehydrate 1/4 cup dry white wine 1/4 cup dried tomatoes, chopped and soaked to rehydrate (optional for me) 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Heat oil in pressure cooker (medium Saute setting). Add onion and saute until translucent. Add rice, stirring often, until lightly golden. Add mushrooms, stir to mix. Add wine, stir to mix. Add tomatoes and broth. Set cooker to Pressure Cooker, high pressure setting. Cook for 7 minutes. Use quick pressure release. Stir in Parmesan cheese. (To double the recipe, only increase the broth to 3 1/2 cups.) I use this risotto recipe all the time, but last night I set it for 6 minutes instead of 7. A little al dente, not so smushy. 6 minutes will be my go-to from now on. Also, I’ve been using the rest of a giant Costco bin of dried mushrooms, so this is a pantry dish at this point. (No tomatoes.) Winner!

We have a tool library here in Portland. I joined it because I needed a metal detector (lost a scrimshaw stick pin in the back yard), but found my lost object myself as soon as I signed up!

I expected Swiss bankers, or even bonkers, but not bunkers.

Yes they may believe all of those things, but the simplicity of that message got lost by all except maybe Buttigieg who has the skill of making things understandable.
