Man, the GOP terror of AOC is real. Can't even tweet about her *indirectly* without the bought-and-paid-for troll accounts descending. Blocked 12k and it's not even 9:00 AM.
Ha ha ha this woman isn't even old enough to run for president, and they're already running the Hillary Clinton playbook.
Update: 17k.

Anyone who's followed me for a bit knows I'm pretty amused by appalling mid-century cookery. But there are absolutely reasons food got so bad in the 50s through the 70s, y'know.

The big one? Mechanization.
Food production-- due in part to the natural march of progress, and in part to the demands of supplying troops in WWII-- became more efficient, more productive, and easier. As a result, food was cheaper, and there was a LOT of it. And manufacturers got very good at processing it.
They canned it, boiled it, jarred it, froze it, turned it into convenience foods with long shelf lives, durable food that lasted for years. And when the US Army stopped buying, the decided to sell it to housewives.

This was a literal attempt to phase out home cooking.

Had a ton of dried apricots left over from my holiday charcuterie/fruit/nut/cheese board feast, so I decided to make a pie. Kinda wingin' it; added some lemon juice, cinnamon, and ginger. Seems to be working out, fingers crossed.
My husband loves sweets and he's been feeling sick, so this is gonna be his chicken soup stand-in.
Pie dough is mixed, rested, rolled out, and filled. experimental dried apricot filling tastes wonderful, and the syrup is just the right consistency. So... Please work?

One more dump from my last couple hours in #Fallout4.

I know I said I was going for Cait next, but her Perk is... kind of shit. SO, Deacon. Which means joining the Railroad, which I was gonna do anyway, so.
My Charisma at this point is 12 outta 10 (naturally maxed, got the bobblehead, & I walk around in a newsboy cap), so while he tries to lie to me CONSTANTLY, he never gets away with it.

"I'm a synth, ya know." Da'fuq outta here w/that.

Anyway, here he is in the duds I gave him.
I went the lore-friendly route and gave him lots of anonymity-enabling gear, like goggles and a bandanna. I figured he'd like that.

A couple of not-altogether-random thoughts:
- The constant complaint that "left-of-centre" values are now -unfairly, yet- prevalent over "conservative" ones may well be inaccurate, given the longtime deliberate strategy in some quarters to shift public perception of "centre" /1
dramatically rightwards. For example, the Republicans of today would consider that President Eisenhower was "dangerously liberal" for his fight against fascism and for decent lives for the poor. Americans generally still agree with Ike, though the Tea Party movement shifted the/2
#GOP's position further rightward; a resurgent racist, pro-fascism element is adding its pressure to that of the "1%" donor class to go even further into fullblown authoritarianism. That is, their new "centre" was what the 1950s called rightwing extremism. But most Americans /3

Thread: An Old IC Guy Weighs in on Polygraphs and More

1. There was a lot of heat but no light shed on Dr. Fraud’s two-question polygraph during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings. I am here to tell you that polygraphs are so NOT objective.
2. The polygraph tech can often "enable" a person to pass by how they question as well as spin them up to fail - sometimes by mere tone of voice.
3. I have seen "true believers" pass while lying their asses off and honest persons fail because they either second guess their own honest answers (honesty is difficult) or they take it personally when the questions are gone over for the third (or more) time - ….

⁉️WHAT⁉️

Sen @ChuckGrassley & @LindseyGrahamSC recommend that DOJ pursue *criminal charges* against Christopher Steele, alleging that he lied to federal authorities about his contacts w/reporters regarding information in the #SteeleDossier‼️🤬 1/

nytimes.com/2018/01/05/us/…
If Christopher Steele really lied to the FBI or other federal agents, have NO DOUBT that Team🇺🇸Mueller / DOJ would have already pursued criminal charges.🙄

Grassley’s and Graham’s push for criminal charges is LUDICROUS and politically driven‼️ 2/
In Dec’16, @LindseyGrahamSC: “The first thing we want to establish is, ‘Did the #Russians hack into our political system?’ Then you work outward from there.”🤔

Now, he & Grassley are leading the #GOP hit job on Steele in a pathetic attempt to discredit his #SteeleDossier‼️🙄3/

A Thread for Men: When your #woman is #emotional, #crying or #stressed out, do not hold it against her. One of the lies of #feminism is that men and women are the same, including that we should process #emotions the same way. Reject the lie. Listen and learn in the posts below.
#Women have much greater #hormonal fluctuations each month than #men do. Simply put, a woman's thought life and #emotions are more prone to high highs, and low lows. This isn't a "design flaw" but rather how #God made a #woman to be in touch with the needs of small #children.
Nothing is more short-sighted as a #man than viewing a #woman as an "overly emotional" or "flawed" version of a man's thought process or #emotions. A woman that does not let her emotions out will become very #passiveaggressive, #depressed or #angry. Your job is to be an #outlet.
