Kitchen Table Kibitzing Friday – not enough protein in pareve bedbugs
Kitchen Table Kibitzing is a community series for those who wish to share a virtual kitchen table with other readers of Daily Kos who aren’t throwing pies at one another. Drop by to talk about music, your weather, your garden, or what you cooked for supper…. Newcomers may notice that many who post in this series already know one another to some degree, but we welcome guests at our kitchen table and hope to make some new friends as well. Please do not attack Democratic candidates or drag primary fights into our community.
As most have noticed, I use Twitter as my main newsfeed to get topics for some of my short postings, and even if it seems addictive, I generally try not to go down the rabbit-hole of Twitter #hashtags. This is especially important since so many trends are freeped.
However, I followed this particular trend #AnApologyToMyParents a bit longer if only because it had the strangest set of tweets.

So many of #AnApologyToMyParents tweets were passive-aggressive, if sardonic, but there were many issues of parental homophobia, the Asian incels who follow KPop, and all the items that could be called issues of “broken families” — hating step-parents, trolling absent parents, and making weird disclosures. Most could be false statements but some did seem to have that truth that comes with having the anonymity(sic) and spontaneity of being on Twitter.
Then there’s buffoons like Ben Shapiro and Jacob Wohl:
I sorta met Ben Shapiro once at CNN. He was talking to someone about how was afraid of his upcoming gig at Berkeley because of protests. Classic Keyboard Cowboy. Also, I feel sorry for his family he is legit putting them in danger for clicks. https://t.co/Oi5oWvyP9G
So Jacob Wohl got an actor to play Kamala Harris's secret lover for a publicity stunt, but ended up giving Kamala a new voter. Lmao I CANNOT ðŸ˜ÂðŸ˜Â😂😂ðŸ˜ÂðŸ˜Â
“After researching Harris, Newaldass said he’s now likely to vote for her presidential bid.”https://t.co/jpOE7WOYMG
Inept conservative operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman held another bizarre press conference in Burkman’s driveway on Wednesday, this time to smear Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) with obviously fake allegations of an extramarital affair.
And like past efforts to manufacture sexual claims against Trump foes—fromRobert Mueller, toPete Buttigieg, to Sen.Elizabeth Warren(D-MA)—the Harris charade fell apart quickly.
The pair’s bogus accuser—26-year-old Sean Newaldass—told The Daily Beast on Friday that he had no idea the event in which he alleged that he was in a romantic dalliance with the Senate was real. That’s because Newaldass had met Wohl and Burkman by replying to an adposted on Craigslistseeking a “male actor” for “performance art.” When he showed up at Burkman’s Virginia home and delivered his lines alleging an affair, Newaldass was under the belief that the press conference was actually an audition for a Spike TV show. He said he had no idea that Harris was a politician. Indeed, he assumed she was a fictional person.
Ever notice how everyone who calls Jane Fonda “Hanoi Jane” never want to bash the civilian politicians who sent 58,000 Americans to die in that war – just a young actress' naive protest of it.
They also hated The Dixie Chicks for being right about W.
At first he was afraid, now he's petrified He's spent oh so many nights just tweeting how Dems have done him wrong. And he kept on. And on and on and on. And now he's back in outer space and Pelosi she just keeps that haha look upon her face #ImpeachASong
Giuliani associates, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, had reportedly worked in an unspecified capacity for oligarch Dmytro Firtash. Federal prosecutors described Firtash as an “upper-echelon†associate of Russian organized crime.https://t.co/XWF5bRDORX
The only constraints on sustainability are cultural. Because “eat a bug” shouldn’t be a dare, and we need to be more tolerant of spiders.
Insects can provide protein of comparable biological value to meat and fish. Insects also provide high-quality monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids and are rich sources of minerals and vitamins such as iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, selenium, biotin and pantothenic acid.”
