sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, black olives, New Haven wood-fired style ("apizza" in the local lexicon), tomato sauce, low-moisture mozzarella
eggplant too if they can make it right (there's a place here in Durham that can)
alternatively, white pizza (olive oil, ricotta, mozzarella), same style
congratulations!
What incredible company!

this is… not good so far
starting Kyoryuger Brave and *wow* they did not even *try* to match the mouth flaps when they dubbed it in Japanese
That's good. I mean, I knew it was unsympathetic to anti-vaxxers, but I appreciate that it's as vociferous as I am, even as I regret that it came from such a tragic and personal place.
What I will say is that the author isn’t, and never was an anti-vaccination. Her daughter contracted measles before she was eligible for the vaccine (1yr old in the UK at the time) and died at 11yrs old of measles related illness. The author calls out Wakefield very explicitly in the piece.

William Hope Hodgeson: what if you hated the sea and everything in it and also there was a mushroom
but they're like fish sauce in East and Southeast Asian cuisines, a bit intense on their own but transcendental used as an ingredient
and I'm given to understand that fresh anchovies are a wholly different ingredient; it's just very hard, if not impossible, to find them in North America
if I were to define *my* cuisine, it's probably centered on diaspora Italian-American cuisine because of the massive Italian diaspora in the Northeast and how, if left to my own devices, I tend to go for pasta when asked to fend for myself
and, yeah, I don't really like anchovies on their own
taste, such as bacon dressing (Pennsylvania), pickled okra (the South), and salted anchovies (Italian diaspora), among many other things, but to me it's all good
I don't much care for Spam, but I'm also mildly allergic to something in it (I don't know what), so it's moot for me anyway
sausage gravy I can only assume that either you're vegan or keep kosher, both of which would preclude even turkey sausage because you need milk for the gravy
or, failing that, that you've never had it made well
there are absolutely foods from every corner of my cuisine that are at best an acquired
I'm born and bred a Southerner, grew up in Bridgeport, CT, and have spent most of my adult life in North Carolina, so I have an abundance of delicious foods in all the cuisines under those umbrellas
I know okra can be polarizing, but to me it's delicious, and if you don't like Southern biscuits and
adequately express the depths of my contempt for him and his cheerleaders but suffice it to say I cannot think of a punishment sufficient to match the gravity of his crimes against humanity
Hague (although he probably should be) but he created too many true believers who are compromising herd immunity and refuse to believe that what they're doing is killing people, especially children and the elderly, and layered on new levels anti-autism hate and misunderstanding
I don't know how…
fucking Andrew fucking Wakefield decided he deserved to cash in on a vaccine patent and published one of the most damaging articles in modern scientific history, costing millions of lives and setting back public health decades
he's been as censured as hard as he can be without being tried in the…
the people who knew firsthand how polio and measles and mumps and whooping cough and so on killed so many people and left many others permanently disabled were mostly dead by the 2020 pandemic, especially in the developed world
we were on the precipice of sending polio the way of smallpox and…
it's the NYT, so I'm not going to bother reading it, and I'm also still a public health policy economist when you get down to brass tacks, so it's not news to me, but generations of mass vaccination have made people forget how devastating the diseases we inoculate against really were
“What I didn’t know was that measles can cause long-term complications. A child can seem fine while the virus slowly replicates in her brain… Because both Britain and the United States are confronting outbreaks, I am sharing my story. Parents should know just how dangerous this disease is.”
watching the latest episode of Bill Maher to prep for the I Hate Bill Maher podcast and this guy is just a total dipshit, huh?
You remind me of someone I used to be.
Happy lesbian visibility week to people who are definitionally lesbians but who don’t feel comfortable claiming the label 🌸
the synthesizer is not a singer
and of *course* it's also turbo fuckin racist
Maybe we don’t call it a ‘singer’ if it doesn’t have vocal cords.Making a synthesizer reproduce violin sounds does not make it a violin.
Lots of reasons to take back the White House, but at least one of them is so someone can get a fed grant to study whether maybe we should be giving cocaine to the fish even if instinctually it seems wrong.
