An analysis from @gregsargent.bsky.social and @polphilpod.bsky.social that is a great companion to Jamelle’s column:

"people always have the idea that the question is "how do we get people thinking in a hopeful way again? how do we run on optimism? How do we reestablish common ground?"" And we're not going to do any of those things. We run on fear. And we run on hate."

"free enterprisers kept saying that we're right near the edge where we're about to collapse into totalitarianism. And it was always bullshit, but now it's kind of true"

"the common sense has been established for so long that it is the left that produces big brother government and the nanny state, and it is the right that opposes it. And it's something that I think really is very, very important to challenge in public debate"

you need to cook the lamb/mutton for wayblonger than she says (i think she means cook in a pressure cooker), but i love this recipie bsky.app/profile/polp...

there's a fair bit of variation. the core features are a meat curry with tamarind & a little coconut milk i use the recipe from here, which is apparently the version that's still served in karachi railway station www.amazon.co.uk/Summers-Unde...

apparently, it's a colonial era thing—something they served on the dining cars of trains during the british raj bsky.app/profile/denn...
