Give it a shot! The super fine roots are an interesting addition to stuff like pho

If you wash it thoroughly the roots are fully edible. They have a really interesting almost noodle texture. It’s a bit more annoying work when they’re grown in soil, but when we grow hydroponic cilantro we eat the whole thing, minus the tiny tough bit where the stems join the roots

I’ve never loved describing imperial Japan as fascist. Not every right wing authoritarian state needs to fall under the same umbrella. Both the social structure and historical forces were so different from fascist Germany and Italy. At some point the term gets stretched so far it’s not descriptive

They treat it like cheering for a sports team. You get exactly the reaction you’d get if you tried to tell someone your social programs hinge on who wins the superbowl. It simply doesn’t not compute for them.

No, it would have to be something that directly impacts people, and it would have to happen too quickly to get normalized. Maybe something like the gas price doubling overnight

I’m morbidly curious what it will take to push his approval numbers below 30%.

Ever, ever. I already have popcorn ready to pop for the gong show the next time someone tries to open the constitution to change so much as a comma

If you don’t enjoy seeing it, just stop following him? You don’t even need to block him and he’d 99% disappear from your Bsky experience A weird amount of his replies are from people who follow him that are upset he‘s showing up in their feed. He seems happy doing his thing. You can ignore it

I do too, but realistically we’d be getting into constitutional amendment territory.

I wonder how much of this is fed by the commercialization of the internet in general? People no longer know how to interact with people. It’s all brands and accounts This is one of the few places left with organic discovery. If you see a post on a meta or google site, it’s never an accident

Will didn’t “find” that person. That person went to a post that he made on his own timeline and commented on it Are you really saying it’s unreasonable to reply to the people who reply to the posts you make on your own timeline? That Will’s timeline is a public square for everyone except him?

We either need to give cities powers that match the responsibilities the public already thinks they have, or we need to radically adjust our expectations

Part of the problem is that our cultural assumptions about their jurisdictions had almost no relation to reality. Legally, cities are basically just the provincial departments in charge of local zoning & PR. That public and media expectations completely exceed that is an issue

If you’d asked me five years ago, I’d have said google search was an unlikable natural monopoly. Turns out that might be wrong

If we’re talking money making, I’d rather do 400 pushups every day than eat 16 hot dogs. Doing 25 pushups each hour I’m awake would be barely noticeable. Eating a hotdog each hour I’m awake would turn into existential torture

You have to re-use a paper bag a lot to break even on energy cost compared to a plastic bag. Dozens of times. For a cloth bag it’s hundreds of uses. Plastic really is a miracle material. There’s some really nuanced factors about what “environmental“ looks like. I remember the “save a tree” campaign

So stop following him? He basically just posts on his own timeline. If you’re tired of seeing him, he’s probably the easiest “big” account to completely ignore.

It’s particularly fascinating to me in that he does almost all his posting on his own timeline. Very rarely does he go argue in someone else’s comments If you don’t follow him, or people who repost him, he’s probably the easiest “big” account to completely ignore.

It’s certainly a death spiral in the sense that I don’t see an ideological off-ramp for them Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be a death spiral in the sense that it’s causing the end of their party, at least in the immediate future

Organic eggs could very well have a higher carbon footprint, while still overall being the better choice in terms of health, ethics, and the environment
