White British women who wore headscarves. They all but disappeared by the 70s-80s, but you saw them all the time in old news coverage when they interviewed people in the streets. Even Queen Elizabeth!!

[Ronan @fitzr1189]

What type of guy or type of gal has disappeared from the world in your lifetime. Maybe died off, but more interestingly aged out and then future generations didn't replicate the schtick. Give me some examples.

Same question:

Question - I am looking to buy a wok at my local Asian grocery (since I had a lot of success with the molcajete I bought at a Mexican grocery). Unfortunately a lot of them are not well-marked. Anything I should look for? How can I tell that it's actually carbon steel?

Somehow, I imagine your family is pretty happy you're gone.

[David Weigel @daveweigel]

Whoever tried to just say hi to me and got a blow off — wouldn’t normally do that but can’t see my family for days and not in the mood to riff. Some other time.

And to be clear, I don't consider people saying that he was asked to prove himself less than a woman or Black candidate as an example of Buttigieg Derangement Syndrome (BDS) - those are legitimate comments. BDS is people making unfounded claims that he sucked at DoT.

[Salad Shooter 🇺🇸🇮🇱📟🚁 @saladprocessor]

The Pete Buttigieg derangement syndrome is among the most insane trends in politics. I've been following politics since 2000 and only times the Transportation Secretary came up before Buttigieg was when Bush appointed a Democrat and Obama appointed a Republican to that office.

@diettomatoes Interestingly I never actually watched it. My PBS station usually had it after "Waiting for God" or "Keeping Up Appearances" (which I did watch) and I usually hung around towards watching that show's intro because I liked the song.

[Salad Shooter 🇺🇸🇮🇱📟🚁 @saladprocessor]

Rewatching "Tomorrow Never Dies" for the first time since 1998 and I had completely forgotten than Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer shared a scene in the beginning (the two of them being the leads in the Britcom "As Time Goes By", which got heavy play on PBS stations in the 1990s).

IDK why I was so wedded to having bean sprouts in Pad Thai. Probably because restaurants do. Made it by substituting Vidalia onion slices for the bean sprouts and it was much better. Now I don't have to buy them again and rush to use them.

Plus I got much better tamarind paste.

There was one by my office that had a buffet until 2025. In other news, my weight loss journey became much easier after it closed.

[Nostalgia @NostalgiaFolder]

Remember when Pizza Hut had a buffet?

All because he beat Bernie in Iowa and achieved a lot at a young age.

[Salad Shooter 🇺🇸🇮🇱📟🚁 @saladprocessor]

@JoosyJew 100%. Not least because that creep Owen Jones is so strongly associated with it.

@TitlowTthe2 Palestinians, the Irish, and MAGA.

There was some very stupid shit Republicans did this election, but Monica de la Cruz disparaging her opponent as "a quinceañera singer" is pretty far up there. Pulido used the comment as a campaign hook and performed at ~80 quinceañeras in the 81% Hispanic district.

[Hakeem Jeffries @hakeemjeffries]

Last week @PulidoForTexas crushed his MAGA opponent and flipped a Republican House seat.

This week he just won a Latin Grammy Award for Best Tejano Album.

Felicidades and what a month for Congressman-Elect Pulido!

[Ari Emanuel @AriEmanuel]

No one’s hands are clean here. However, Mr. Secretary Buttigieg, you had four years in the job and infrastructure money, yet made zero progress modernizing the FAA. You left a failing system in place. THANKS!

[Salad Shooter 🇺🇸🇮🇱📟🚁 @saladprocessor]

@Frasier67Blank I mean, if he's appointing Trotskyite Socialist Action members to his GLC administration and spoke at Militant Tendency-organized conferences, I think I'm justified in calling him a commie even if he wasn't an official member of a communist party.

[Salad Shooter 🇺🇸🇮🇱📟🚁 @saladprocessor]

In 1981, in an off-year election, Labour won the Greater London Council election led by a moderate, Andrew McIntosh. He was booted out shortly afterward by a commie, Ken Livingstone, who then made such a mess of the GLC that it probably prolonged Thatcher's rule.

Pic unrelated.

[Salad Shooter 🇺🇸🇮🇱📟🚁 @saladprocessor]

This whole thing is fishy. The claim is that he wants the Strategic Response Group (meant for counterterrorism) to not be involved in policing "protests", but why dismantle it then? What part of the NYPD is going to be responsible for counterterrorism?

[Mossadil Commentary @MOSSADil]

🚨 MAMDANI PRESSED ON DISBANDING NYPD COUNTERTERRORISM UNIT

REPORTER: “Who responds to terrorist threats if the Strategic Response Group is disbanded?”

MAMDANI: “As I’ve said… I’m committed to disbanding the Strategic Response Group and that I do not believe that the responsibilities of counterterrorism and enforcement and First Amendment response are one and the same.”

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani faces questions over his plan to dismantle the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group, an elite unit deployed for terrorist threats, mass shootings, violent crime and major emergencies.

The question remains: Who takes over those critical responsibilities?

I have privately told colleagues that I don't want to be the Nizam-ul-Mulk of Hyderabad.

@AlpoPup69 Yeah, 100% the parents share a lot of the blame.

I suppose we're lucky she didn't turn out like Andrew Cunanan, whose parents indulged him so much he was apparently given the master bedroom as a kid.

Greta Thunberg accused her mother of "stealing her future" because the flights she took to concert gigs "caused climate change". Her mom then ended her career.

Now Thunberg laughs at people who want to stop climate change.

You rarely see this big of a narcissist that isn't male

[New York Post @nypost]

Greta Thunberg laughs hysterically when told Fridays for Future, climate change group she founded, still protesting: 'They still do that?' https://t.co/E2jm8gsKIU
