Engineer Yoshitada Minami had the technical know-how to develop the first-ever rice cooker. But he had no idea how to cook perfect rice. Besides, in the 1940s and 50s, that was still "woman's work." So he asked his wife, Fumiko, for help.

With all these ‘look at HK’ posts flying around, I thought I’d offer you this from 2019 - a picture of a cop falling flat on his face, based on a real photo sans goose. May it bring warmth in these cold days. Add oil!
Came across this the other day while digging. Forgot we had a whole series of naughty goose protest art. Am rooting for the goose. Happy holidays!

In season one of Bridgerton , Anthony sleeps with an opera singer that he discards very casually after an affair. This happens very often in historicals. Actresses and opera singers are the other woman and not the heroine
Not so here

I think a good romance series people should read is the Palace of Rogues by Julie Anne long because it is about people that try starting their lives again after setbacks. They’re all standalone but one of my favorites is My Season of Scandal

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.”
The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

Spent many years of my life in Asia (esp China) and a year in Spain and the only time I remember anything overtly anti-American was a drunk French guy in Beijing in 2003 mocking me about Bush bombing Iraq. I was like, "yeah I hate it too" and that was that

It's not really discussed that often because it can't be definitively proven in either direction but I think that if Uncommitted hadn't happened a much higher % of Arabs, Somalis etc would have simply stayed home in the general election in 2024.
I actually think the opposite, the Arab and Muslim American public were quite dejected in early 2024 and Uncommitted enabled collective political action in states like Minnesota and Michigan. Then Uncommitted encouraged people to vote against Trump.
