We Cooked Corn on the Cob 8 Different Ways and Found the Method We’ll Do Forever

Good to know I have been doing this right all along:

So, What’s The Best Way to Cook Corn?

After testing all of these methods for cooking corn on the cob, grilling them in their husks was the clear winner. The husks helped steam the corn, keeping it moist and preventing it from drying out. Also, the husks charred, giving the corn all the bold, smoky flavor of grilling without the drying or burned bits.

If you don’t have a grill, boiling corn in salted water is a great alternative. You won’t get that charred flavor, but the kernels will be plump, juicy, and perfectly salted.

I researched every attempt to stop fascism in history. The success rate is 0%.

Historically there is no peaceful path out of this mess.

And *if* we get through this, can we PLEASE punish the evildoers like we never have in this country? Not the Civil War, or the Depression, or Jim Crow, or Watergate, Iran-Contra, the Iraq War. No one ever gets their due. And the nation continues to suffer more and more.

Who’s questioning women’s right to vote?

Women voting for Republicans confuse me. They are literally trying to take the right to vote away from women. It is on the table, yet, still, some women say “yes” to getting rid of their own rights.

Hell, I’m still confused why evangelical Christianity – if not the whole dogma at this point – is freely allowed to espouse hatred of women, gays, minorities, you name it, without censure. Without taxation. Without recourse and punishment for the literal abuse of children permitted inside the church.

Tribal groups assert sovereignty as feds crack down on gender-affirming care

If this country is going to survive with even a small chance of looking like it did in better times, it will be up to a couple blue states and the tribes to keep the faith. Everyone else has either knuckled under or given up since no one paid heed when they gave the warning alarms.

Here’s one area of human rights the tribal nations are leading on, as “progressive” politicians – calling you out personally Buttigieg – pull back/eliminate support for folks they should be caring and protecting.
