From wikipedia: Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement that rose to prominence in early-20th-century Europe.[1][2][3] Fascism is characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[3][4] Opposed to communism, democracy, liberalism, pluralism, and socialism,[5][6] fascism is at the far right of the traditional left–right spectrum.[1][6][7]

Salmon Stew Ingredients: 1 T garlic chili paste (can be substituted by adding more fresh garlic, chili powder, and cayenne) 3 cloves garlic 2 limes 1 can coconut milk 1 good-sized slab of salmon 1 bunch cilantro, chopped ¼ white onion, chopped 2-3 green onions (can be substituted for an additional ¼ white onion). Salt 1 tomato chopped (or half a can of chunky tomatoes) Recipe: Crush or food process together 2 cloves of garlic, juice of 1.5 limes, salt (to taste), half the chopped bunch of cilantro, the green onions (or half the white onion), and the chili-lime paste. Remove the salmon from its skin and cut it into chunks. Size to your preference, it tends to fall apart in the stew. Marinade the salmon, , the tomatoes, and the white onion in the food processed/crushed mix for half an hour. Add cold water as needed to cover the salmon. Reserve one clove of garlic, the remaining half of the chopped cilantro, and the remaining half lime. Put a large stew pan on medium / medium low heat and add about a tablespoon of neutral cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, remove the salmon chunks from the marinade and cook them in the oil, stirring occasionally. Reserve the marinade to be added later. If you like a thicker stew, add 1-2 tbsp of cornstarch to the cooking salmon and stir well. Once the salmon is browned, add the can of coconut milk and the remaining marinade. Simmer until the broth is as thick as desired. Add more water if it thickens too quickly (before the salmon can cook). Just before serving, turn off the heat and grate in the remaining clove of garlic, add the remaining cilantro and the juice of the remaining lime and stir. Salt to taste. Serve over white rice.
The walkout did not change the raw political dynamics in Republican-dominated Texas, and Democrats remained in the situation they were in before they left: powerless to permanently stop the new map from being adopted. When that happens, as expected, they have vowed to challenge its legality.
Malcolm Harris @BigMeanInternet on twitter What do liberals think the Democrats should do about being so incredibly unpopular right now, despite having followed a strategy that's focused on doing popular things so as to become popular?
Edward Owen-Burge It has been easy for people to laugh at this. "She's not real. It's too far. My kids knew straight away!" But how many professionals on LinkedIn use - almost rely - on AI tools every day? To sense check. To shape decisions. To act as a sounding board. And it's the same reason 150k people follow Mia. They feel a connection. Of course we know she's not real. We know it's not real when we ask ChatGPT to write/design/create/draw it's not real either. But we need an output and we feel the connection. And that's ok. It's ok to seek a new perspective. It's ok to be unsure and want non-judgmental advice. It's ok to want someone in your corner. The difference is, they need to be real. Not artificial. Not automated. Not performing. Just honest, human, listening, challenging, and helping you think better. Image below is an obviously AI young blonde woman.

Reddit post from r/dimensionjumping: "Has anyone been noticing more lately? You know the little things where you can't find something for a couple days despite knowing exactly where you put it, only to find it there after some time. Or finding things in my jacket pockets that I KNOW I took out and put away the day before. Lately I've been finding items I've never seen before. A brush I've never owned just showed up in my purse, a keychain I've never seen was in my gym bag. Even grocery items I never bought showing up in the pantry. It seems so much more frequent lately."

SEOUL — South Korean lawmakers are filing into the National Assembly after Speaker Woo Won-Shik asked all members to arrive Tuesday night for a plenary session to respond to the martial law declaration. The law can be lifted with a majority vote by the parliament, which means 151 lawmakers would need to vote in favor. About 160 lawmakers have arrived, some breaking through police barriers and entering through windows, according to South Korean media.

Twitter screenshot. Haldi: "Is the Catholic church woke?" Reply from another Twitter person: "Nowhere in the Bible is a catholic church or one founded in Peter discussed or established. Gal 2:8 clearly shows Peter was the apostle to the Jews & Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles. Catholics are saying God established a church to the Gentiles on the apostle to the Jews"
