Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

This blog will pay for itself.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

We still have time to mess this up!

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

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.
