@DannyCampsalot says if you post about Poland, that will bring out the bots. Sounds fun. 👿 So I had to listen to this nonsense to "validate the transcript" for the ex-CIA guy who reached out to build an ICD of the @DataRepublican drop. (ICD is the intelligence version of a Grumpy Take). This 🤡 paint's this crazy science fiction scenario where Trump decides he no longer like Marco or JD, and wants to run himself. And then sure, the USA would go apeshit. They don't get that Trump was willing to walk away until they sent the FBI to count his wifes underwear. The progs created their own enemy. FIrst they messed with him, then they made him sit in a courtroom for 6 months so he watched the lawyers at play and learned. Now Poland: So a judge decided that he was the king, and the population said: No. Which jab did you have? Because I had the one that didn't make you think Biden was fine, and doesn't make me think I can be king or a woman by saying so. I think all the progs and the Polish judge had the other one. Because I knew in 2020; no politician wants to campaign from their basement because there's a 1% chance they might get a bad cold.

Klueless Kommies... I can't see sane people going to the barricades and governors deciding the federal government is illegitimate because someone won't uphold the constitution. But I had to listen to this nonsense today arguing that Trump is going to dig in to be President past 2028. And Kotax my Governor ran ads claiming her opponent was far-right for supporting the Constitution. 1. They don't get that he's kidding. 2. They don't realize that he only came back because they wouldn't leave him alone. 3. Whole speech assuming science fiction scenario to justify their fantasy.

Basically, I'm a political funny cat video. Video 1: clip of everyone saying "transpartisan". Video 2: clip of first, Chatham House RuleS, then clips of everyone saying, in the recording, "nobody record this". Plus some snarky lead ins. nitter.siddz.com/GrumpyTechBro/status/2… nitter.siddz.com/GrumpyTechBro/status/2… Video #2 has generated the most buzz, because everyone loves to dump on pompous superior assholes, Now just find something funny they all say in the transcripts to generate a new one.
32 insurrection-adjacent folks saying “transpartisan.” Secret password for the Kewl Kommie Klub. Making “fetch” happen. h/t: @DataRepublican and @SKDoubleDub33 for the data and the word. LOL

One of the subtle bits of humor is that its Chatham House Rule_ no s. Which means the people saying "Chatham House RuleS" are just repeating something they've heard and don't understand, and have never thought about. Which is why they say that in front of a Fathom avatar that says recording and taking notes... And why they think Trump is some kind of criminal mastermind who is "hand wave" controlled by (Putin or Bibi depending on the week), who somehow managed to control a mob from 1.6 miles away, with his mind, while he was giving a speech...so they have to save democracy from him.

I'm a UI nerd. Voting has a UI problem. You have to design for humans as they are, not as you wish they were. Bush v. Gore: the butterfly ballot. I honestly don't think a bunch of old Jews in Miami wanted to vote for Pat Buchanan. But the D's signed off on that design, so they were stuck with it. Hello, hanging chads. Brazil: no ballot at all. You type your candidate's number into the machine. Get the number wrong and your vote is null. Lula 60M. Bolsonaro 58M. Null ballots: 3.9M. More nulls than the margin. That's a stupid, human-hating system. Alaska, 2022 at-large House special: Republicans got about 59% of first-round votes. The Democrat won anyway. About 5% of ballots were exhausted because voters didn't rank a second choice. That's a lot of unhappy Alaskans. This year it's two Dan Sullivans on one ballot. The state threw the second one off after interviewing him. Someone paid his legal bills, and he's back on. Trump says if the margin is smaller than fake Dan's total, it's a mulligan. The DOJ sued to block certification. Dems call that overriding the will of the people. RCV already confuses the will of the people. You shouldn't need a strategy guide to vote. Or a memorized number.

Looks decadent.
Potato Pancakes Stuffed with Savory Beef and Cheese Ingredients Beef filling 1 lb (450 g) ground beef 1 tbsp olive oil (only if beef is very lean) 1/2 small onion, finely diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp paprika (sweet or smoked) 1/2 tsp dried oregano (or Italian seasoning) 1/2 tsp kosher salt, to taste 1/4 tsp black pepper Optional: pinch chili flakes Potato pancake batter 2 lb (900 g) russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled 1 small onion, grated (or 1 tsp onion powder) 2 large eggs 1/3 cup (45 g) all-purpose flour (or potato starch for GF) 1/2 tsp baking powder (crisper edges) 1 tsp kosher salt 1/4 tsp black pepper Cheese 1 1/2 cups shredded low‑moisture mozzarella (or Monterey Jack/Provolone) For frying Neutral oil (canola/avocado), plus 2 tbsp butter for flavor To finish (optional) Chopped parsley or chives Sour cream or garlicky yogurt for dipping Instructions Make the beef filling Heat a skillet over medium-high. Add oil if needed, then the beef and onion. Cook, breaking up, until browned (5–6 min). Drain excess fat. Stir in garlic, Worcestershire, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and chili flakes; cook 1 minute. Taste and adjust seasoning. Cool slightly. Prep the potatoes Grate potatoes on the large holes of a box grater (or use a food processor). Immediately place in a bowl of cold water 2–3 minutes to reduce starch and prevent browning. Drain in a sieve, then squeeze hard by handfuls in a clean towel to remove as much liquid as possible. This is key for crisp pancakes. Make the batter In a large bowl whisk eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper to a smooth slurry. Add grated potatoes and grated onion; toss to coat evenly. Pan-fry the first side Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium to medium-high with a thin film of oil and a dab of butter. For small pancakes: spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons batter per cake and spread to a 3–3.5 inch round. Cook 2–3 minutes until the underside is deep golden. Add fillings and top Place 1–2 tbsp beef and a tablespoon of shredded cheese in the center of each partially cooked pancake. Spoon a thin layer of potato batter (about 1 tbsp) over the top to fully cover the filling. Flip and finish Carefully flip. Cook another 3–4 minutes until deeply golden and the cheese is melted. If browning too quickly, lower heat to medium. Move cooked pancakes to a wire rack (best for keeping them crisp). Repeat with remaining batter, beef, and cheese, adding oil/butter as needed. Serve Sprinkle with parsley or chives. Serve hot with sour cream or garlicky yogurt. Garlicky yogurt dip (quick) 3/4 cup Greek yogurt + 1 small grated garlic clove + squeeze of lemon + pinch salt and pepper. Tips Squeeze potatoes very dry for maximum crisp. Keep finished pancakes warm in a 250°F (120°C) oven on a rack. Make-ahead: Cook, cool, and refrigerate up to 2 days; re-crisp in a lightly oiled skillet or 375°F (190°C) air fryer for 4–6 minutes. Variations: add finely diced pickles to the beef (cheeseburger vibes), swap in cheddar or provolone, or mix 1 tbsp Dijon into the beef for tang.
