Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

It’s a new day. Light all those Biden polls of young people on fire and throw away the ashes.

The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend itself. it’s up to us.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Biden: Oh no. We’ve upset Big Pharma again.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

I desperately hope that, yet again, I am wrong.

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Just another quick question about food- Why do they even make soft tofu? The firm tofu is the only one you can really cook anything with if my experiences are accurate.

Is there some purpose to soft tofu that I have just missed?

    I believe the soft is used in soups and the like. There’s actually more than two types: Chinese and Japanese tofu is different.

    If any rightwinger offers an insight on a matter of freakin’ soft tofu, I swear it’s gonna be Pow! To the Moon!

    Please, don’t shatter stereotypes–only lefties answer the critical “food” question.

    Cordially…

    Heh. I like tofu a number of different ways, but it is hard to beat chilled tofu and soy sauce. Doesn’t get any simpler or any tastier than that.

    So you eat soy bean curd in soy bean sauce? I don’t know, that almost seems like it would violate the whole don’t boil a calf in its mother’s milk restriction.

    Tofu is not my bag, but I love Thai food, and I can pick around it. Soft Tofu sounds a little squishy and liberal to me, bleh.

    Soft tofu is used in any manner of Chinese dishes. Ma-Po To-Fo for instance. (a very staple dish.)

    In Taiwan, hard tofu is used mainly as a side dish or in some kinds of noodles.

    Soft tofu gives you bitch tits just like the hard variety, but at least they look nicer.

    I had never eaten tofu until I discovered that my 10 year old son is allergic to many foods and I started searching for substitutes. He’s allergic to dairy, gluten (bread, etc.), eggs, etc, etc. In short, most of his favorite foods. Can you imagine telling a 10 year old he can’t ever eat ice cream again? (It’s not a pretty sight) For people, like my son, who are allergic to dairy products, soft tofu can often substitute. You can make ice cream with it, mayonnaise, and as someone pointed out above, smoothies and shakes.

    The last three posters have it right and I had it wrong; in East Asian cooking, soft tofu is used somewhat like custard.

    Self-correcting blogosphere in action.
