#TVP 1

[eat-healthyisgood]

Vegan Stuffed Cheesy Bellpeppers

.

4 bell peppers

2 cups cooked rice of choice

1 cup textured soy protein or chickpeas

1/2 cup light coconut milk

1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color you like)

4 tbsp crushed tomatoes

1 medium-sized onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp Braggs aminos

1 tbsp oil (e.g. sesame oil or coconut oil)

1 tbsp peanut butter

1/2 tbsp curry powder

1/4 tsp smoked paprika

salt and pepper to taste

vegan cheese sauce (or your favorite vegan cheese) to taste

chopped chives to taste

Instructions:

Cook your favorite rice according to packaging instructions. You will need 2 cups of cooked rice for this recipe

Soak 1 cup of textured soy protein (TVP) in a bowl with 1 cup of hot water (or vegetable broth) and set aside for 5-10 minutes (skip this step if you are going to use chickpeas). The TVP will begin to fluff and absorb all the liquid

With a knife, carefully remove the "lids" of the 4 bell peppers and also discard all the seeds

Heat oil in a skillet, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, the textured soy protein and fry for 4-5 minutes over medium heat

Add the chopped 1/2 cup bell peppers, crushed tomatoes, Braggs, peanut butter, spices (curry, smoked paprika), salt/pepper to taste and coconut milk to the skillet and let simmer for about 5 minutes on low-medium heat. Stir occasionally

Now add the cooked rice and check if the mixture needs more salt/pepper/spices

Fill the 4 peppers with the rice/veggie mixture, add your favorite vegan cheese to taste or make my easy vegan cheese sauce, and cook in the oven at 190 degrees C (about 375 degrees F) for about 30-45 minutes. You will probably have some leftovers of the rice/veggie mixture

Tagged by @kudzucataclysm to answer these questions. I'll be answering for my witch noir The Stranger series.

I. What is the main lesson of your story? Why did you choose it?

I don't have a "lesson" so much as a "message" I guess. IDK, I presume this question is really just referring to theme? I hope lol. In which case, the main theme of the witch noir series is bodily autonomy and the various systemic and interpersonal ways it can be violated. So we're talking fantastical depictions of sexual assault, domestic violence, institutionalization, reproductive control, substance use control, capitalism and other forms of material coercion, the prison industrial complex, etc. In part this theme comes from convention inspiration, as this series as a concept first began as a genre study, and in part is simply a sensationalized expression of my own personal The Horrors as a neurodivergent Jewish transgender abuse survivor lmfao. Which is just another flavor of genre convention, when you think about it! Everyone give it up for genre conventions. All my homies love genre conventions. RE: Cyrus. Obviously I can't say for sure since... NFHR (Not Finished, Haven't Read). But! I've so far been interpreting what I know of SE to have themes surrounding conservation/disaster, scientific ethics, capitalism, war, and retrofuturist dystopianism. Sort of a The Day After Tomorrow x Jurassic Park x War of the Worlds situation.

II. What did you use as inspiration for your worldbuilding?

This is also pretty much down to genre convention! Like I said, this series started its life out as a genre study, which means it functionally speaking came with a starter pack lol. I've also used a lot of real world culture and history to contribute to and/or base things off of. For example, Eddie's power type is built around some beliefs and superstitions common within her cultural background (Mexican Catholic). The world's history, geography, etc are based on real world people, events, places, etc and changed to synonyms/close matches (i.e. Sugar Ln to Cane St, Freddie Mercury to Izzy Quicksilver, etc) so I don't have to come up with that stuff whole cloth but I also don't have to worry about accuracy. RE: Cyrus. Haha, you said War of the Worlds. I'm getting a good grade.

III. What is your MC trying to achieve, and what are you, the writer, trying to achieve with them? Do you want to inspire others, teach forgiveness, or help the reader grow as a person?

Well, aside from solving the murder and getting the girl, Eddie just wants to feel fulfilled as a person. She just wants to matter. She wants someone to care about her without obligation, to want her without needing her. And she wants to have a Purpose; she wants there to be a Reason that she exists, and exists Like This. As for what I'm doing... I'm just expressing a concept. This is what this thing is to me. What the reader does with that is the reader's business. RE: Cyrus, about doormat characters. You're right and you should say it. Louder.

IV. How many chapters is your story going to have?

Well. Original outline has it at 7 for Curse The Messenger (book 1), Gilded Verdict (2), and Latchkey Craft (4), and 13 for The Vanishing Point (3), but I'm thinking I probably should split them up more because that's putting us at an average of about 10k words a chapter, which I guess is Gucci for fanfiction but Too Long for a book? But I was doing an "unlucky number" gimmick sooo.... Maybe I'll go with 13 chapters for CTM, GV, and LC, and 19 chapters for TVP. Actually I just looked up the numerology for why 19 is unlucky, and um. Yeah! Yeah, I think I'll do that lmao. So. 13 x 3 + 19 = 58 chapters total (which, incidentally, is a lucky number! #perfect).

V. Is it fanfiction or original content? Where do you plan to post it?

The Stranger series, and everything I talk about in any real detail on this blog, is original. I plan to self-publish it but I don't have any more specific plans than that yet. I'll decide more when I actually have a completed draft lmao. I do also write fanfiction though, which I post on AO3!

VI. Do you have any words of encouragement for fellow writers of writeblr? What other writers do you follow?

More advice than encouragement I suppose, but: outlining and rough drafting are for figuring out what you want to do, editing and final drafting are for doing it on purpose.

I recommend and/or tag: @radley-rambles @vacantgodling @words-after-midnight @gailynovelry @albatris @ellierenae @kjscottwrites and @thesylverlining.

[ID: A close-up on a dish with glossy noodles, spinach, carrot, mushroom, and sesame seeds. End ID]

잡채 / Japchae (Korean noodle stir-fry)

Japchae is a popular Korean dish made with glass noodles. Sweet potato starch noodles are fried in a flavorful sauce, combined with colorful, tender-crisp vegetables, and dressed with sesame; the result is chewy, savory, garlicky, slightly sweet, and highly satisfying. Because of its versatility and the ease of preparing large batches, japchae is frequently served for banquets at weddings and birthday celebrations.

"Japchae" is a compound of "잡" "jap" "mixed," and "채" "chae" "vegetables"; both syllables are Korean readings of Chinese characters ("雜" and "菜"). Like the name, modern japchae dishes combine Chinese and Korean elements: the cellophane noodles now considered central to the dish originated as a Chinese import towards the end of the 20th century. From the 17th century until then, japchae had been a royal court dish consisting only of stir-fried vegetables (frequently mushrooms, cucumber and radish).

Japchae, along with other Korean foods, is becoming more prevalent in the Philippines and Malaysia, by way of privately owned Korean restaurants usually owned by migrants. Dr. Gaik Cheng Khoo writes that, despite the South Korean government's campaign to promote the globalization of hansik (한식; Korean food), it is these independent restaurateurs who actually engage in Korean "gastrodiplomacy" by interfacing with clients in their particular contexts.

Recipe under the cut!

Patreon | Paypal | Venmo

Ingredients:

For the dish:

8oz (230g) 당면 / dangmyeon (Korean sweet potato starch noodles)

1 medium carrot, cut into a thick julienne

1 small yellow onion, sliced

2-3 green onions, cut into 2" pieces

6oz fresh spinach

1 cup (65g) sliced shiitake or wood ear mushrooms

4oz beef substitute of choice, or 1/2 cup (30g) soya chunks (chunky TVP)

1 clove garlic, chopped

Neutral oil, to fry

Sesame seeds, to garnish

Both dangmyeon (which may be also labelled "sweet potato vermicelli") and soya chunks / nutra chunks (from a brand such as Nutrela) may be found at an Asian grocery store.

For the sauce:

2 cloves garlic, grated

4 Tbsp Korean soy sauce

2-3 Tbsp brown sugar, to taste

2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil

1/2 tsp ground black pepper, or to taste

For the marinade:

1/2 cup vegetarian 'beef' stock from concentrate, or vegetable stock (only if using nutra chunks, which need to be hydrated)

1 tsp dark soy sauce

1/2 tsp brown sugar

1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil

Instructions:

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, prep your vegetables and mix all ingredients for the sauce and marinade.

2. Mix beef substitute and all marinade ingredients to coat.

3. Once the water is boiling, blanch the spinach for 30 seconds to a minute, until bright green. Drain and shock in cold water. Squeeze out excess water, roughly chop, and dress with a bit of salt.

4. In the same water, boil sweet potato noodles for 6-8 minutes, until translucent and softened. A firm pinch should break the noodle.

5. When noodles are fully cooked, drain and shock in cold water to halt cooking. Cut them in a few places with kitchen scissors to make them easier to eat. Toss with a bit of sesame oil to prevent sticking.

6. While noodles are cooking, begin stir-frying the vegetables. Heat 1 tsp oil in a medium skillet on high. Stir-fry carrots, onion, and a pinch of salt for a minute or two until slightly softened.

7. Set aside and add more oil to the pan; stir-fry mushrooms for a couple minutes until they have released their water. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.

8. Add green onion and cook for 30 seconds to a minute; do not allow it to soften too much. Set aside.

9. If using nutra chunks: drain and reserve liquid. Fry for a minute on high, agitating often, to brown. Pour in the rest of the marinade and cook until dry. If using another beef substitute: fry according to package directions.

10. Heat another Tbsp of neutral oil in a large skillet and add in noodles and about half of the prepared sauce. Stir fry, tossing often, until fragrant. Remove to a bowl and stir in vegetables, beef, and the rest of the prepared sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve warm.

Leftovers may be served hot or cold, as a side dish or a main, or over rice.

It came to me on the run, but what is each of the Poly 141 favourite food?

According to you this time since I literally wrote a half kilometer long reblog on the recent birthdays reblog ;)

Fennnicccc- you're gonna kill me with these. Please stop dropping these absolutely baller ideas, I will go insane.

Since you asked so politely tho~

Price

Bro eats cigars. What can I say? No but in all seriousness, I genuinely can't decide for Price. Y'know what that means? I'MA BOTHER MY BROTHER FOR ANSWERS! :D (same way I got Froggip Graves)

Me showing him a generic photo of Price

Sibling: "this man likes fried eggs with ketchup"

Me shows the dumb quokka smile™ "does this change anything?"

Sibling: "..."

Sibling: "with hash browns."

So there's your answer folks! He likes fried eggs with ketchup and a side of hash browns! Thanks @discordantcongregate ~

Nik

Bro eats food from all around the world (and people lmao, Nik is a fuck boy). But y'know his favorite? Price's homemade bread. He doesn't make it often, he almost never has the time, but it's his GamGam's recipe and it tastes like home. While Nik is very much the cook in the relationship, he knows it'll be a good day when Price pulls out is '#1 captain' apron the Sargents jokingly got him.

Ghost

Sweets. I dunno who made it, I dunno if it's for some lore-reason, but I love sweets enjoyer!Simon. Again, someone said that he gets all his dad jokes from candy wrappers and stuff and... ACK. ITS JUST REALLY CUTE. I wanna believe he's really fond of those sticks you dip into the chocolate? But like- just the sticks? Idk, might be my own nostalgia talking but he likes the little animals on them (someone please tell me you know what I'm talking about, I don't wanna seem crazy)

Soap

So I can't decide between haggis (because Scottish.) and muffins. I think in all honesty, he'll eat anything. *Absolutely* the kinda guy to eat your leftovers, nothing goes to waste when he's around. Growing up in a big family with lots of shithead sisters, he's used to stealing food and getting food stolen. Really though, I think a nice blueberry muffin is his weakness (dispite never admitting it).

Gaz

Ughhh... So I really *really* want Gaz to be vegetarian. Not in a preach-y way, he's not gonna go off on how superior he is for eating a salad, he just goes about his business. Eats meat substitutes as well, not just like- plain tofu or whatever they think vegetarians eat. But... It's also the military. He goes on month long mission with nothing but rations, he can't really be picky about that kinda stuff. I mean, if you've been starving for a week after getting captured by the enemy, you're not gonna turn down some chicken soup. That being said- he really likes TVP (textured vegetable protein). Idk why, I just think he puts it in everything, very versatile with it as well. It's a good source of protein and he can flavor it in hundreds of ways.

Roach

He eats drywall. Nah but seriously, I'm gonna say he's a sandwich enjoyer. As already stated (thank you Kio) he won't stop eating stuff he's allergic to? Like bro, no. Stop. Put the tomato down, it makes you feel bad. Still, despite that he can appreciate a good sandwich (allergies included). All different combos as well, likes to try something new wherever he goes.

Red

Oranges. In literally any form. Juice, fruit, the fucker eats the peels as well.

Feeling really off about AI stuff (why do I force myself to write, express my creativity, risk judgement, pour my soul into something because I enjoy it... When some random guy can type "Gaz (from cod) fic" and get the same product?) so for the foreseeable future (prob like a post or two?) I'll be slipping my own OC in. Feel free to ignore them, they'll always be at the bottom, I just... Sometimes I wanna give my self insert some love? It's never gonna be to take away from whatever ship (poly 141) I'm writing, it's just an optional sprinkle for my own mental health.

Subject: Request for Media Coverage on Cyberbullying Incident in the K-Pop Industry

Dear [News Channel Name],

I am writing to request your support in covering a critical issue currently unfolding in the K-pop industry that highlights the growing problem of cyberbullying and its severe impact on artists. Recently, Seunghan, a member of the popular K-pop group RIIZE, was forced to leave his group after facing intense harassment from anti-fans.

Seunghan had initially been placed on a 10-month hiatus following the leak of his private photos, just two months after his debut. When SM Entertainment, his management company, announced his return on October 11, 2024, anti-fans responded with online death threats and even sent funeral wreaths to the company headquarters, demanding his removal. Instead of defending their artist and protecting his privacy, SM Entertainment succumbed to the pressure, leading to Seunghan’s departure from the group.

This decision raises serious concerns about the company's professionalism as it encourages cyberbullying and toxic fan behavior without any consequences. In response, Seunghan’s fans launched a petition on Change.org calling for his reinstatement, which gained 63,705 signatures in just 8 hours. Fans from other fandoms have also expressed their solidarity on social media in hopes that no artist will have to face such mistreatment from both anti-fans and their management in the future.

We kindly request your support in broadcasting this important issue on your news channel to raise awareness and help combat the growing culture of online harassment and bullying. By highlighting this situation, we hope to contribute to a larger conversation about the responsibilities of entertainment companies in protecting their artists.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We believe your platform can play a significant role in addressing this critical issue, and we would be grateful for your support in raising awareness.

@thinnem2 @mynameisb3llahadid

Hey guys! I'm sorry for disappearing the past days... But I've made a small compilate of my favorite vegan high protein/low calorie meals. The instructions on how to make each dish are listed below the cut:

Disclaimer: all kinds of beans must be soaked in water for 8-12 hours before they're cooked. Throw out the water afterwards, as it contains toxins that make digestion harder.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

1- Tofu muffins

Herbs and spices I use: oregano, basil, chives, turmeric and chili powder

Preheat oven to 180°C or 356°F.

Add the chopped onions and a pinch of salt to a sauce pan and sauté them in a little bit of water until golden. Then, add the chopped garlic and let it cook for another minute. Finally, add the grated carrots and zucchini to the pan and sauté them for 2 minutes.

Process the firm tofu, water, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, salt, herbs and spices in a food processor until smooth.

Incorporate the sauteed veggies and chopped tomatoes into the mixture (I save some tomatoes and herbs to use as toppings). Transfer the batter to a non-stick muffin pan and bake it for 25-35 minutes.

-> Let them cool down for at least 10 min before eating.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

2- Kafta

Herbs & spices I use: smoked paprika, garlic powder, Aleppo pepper and parsley

Preheat oven to 200°C or 392°F.

Boil some water, remove from heat and add the TVP with a tbsp of vinegar to the pan. Let it soak for 10 minutes, then rinse and squeeze to remove all excess water.

Add the chopped onions and a pinch of salt to a pan and sauté them with a sprinkle of water until golden. Then, add the chopped garlic and let it cook for another minute. Combine the lentils, TVP, more salt and smoked paprika to the mixture and cook for 5 minutes.

Add the mixture to a food processor with the chickpea flour and all the other herbs and spices, process until combined.

Roll mixture into sausages and stick a skewer to them. If you want to, spray some olive oil into a baking pan before adding them to make a crust. Bake or air fry for 20 minutes, then flip and bake for another 15 minutes.

-> Serve with freshly squeezed lime juice or tzatziki sauce.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

3- Egless Omelette

Herbs & spices I use: basil, turmeric, garlic powder and black pepper

Add the silken tofu, chickpea flour, almond milk, nutritional yeast, salt and spices to a blender and blend until smooth.

Add the chopped onions and a pinch of salt to a non-stick pan and sauté them with a sprinkle of water until golden.

Add the tofu batter to the pan along with chopped tomatoes and some basil. Cook it on medium low heat for about five minutes or until it thickens up.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

4- Green Pea Croquettes & Tzatziki sauce

Herbs & spices I use: chives, parsley, cilantro, smoked paprika and chili powder

Preheat oven to 200°C or 392°F.

Add all of the ingredients to a food processor and process until thoroughly combined. Mold them into whichever shape you'd like (the thinner, the crunchier/the thicker, the softer). Bake or airfry in a non-stick baking pan for 30-40 minutes.

For the sauce, sprinkle some salt on the grated cucumbers and let it sit for 3 minutes while you chop the garlic and herbs. Then, squeeze the cucumbers to remove excess water, combine with all of the other ingredients and mix with a spoon.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

5- Creamy Lentil Soup

Herbs & spices I use: rosemary, sage, cumin, turmeric and cayenne pepper

Add chopped onions and a pinch of salt to a pan and sauté them with a sprinkle of water until golden. Then, add the chopped garlic and let it cook for another minute. Finally, add the tomato paste, vegetable broth, almond milk, lentils and chopped pumpkin. Let it cook for about 8 minutes or until the lentils are soft.

Blend the chickpeas with the herbs, spices and some water until they turn into a creamy sauce. Add it to the lentil soup and mix well until it thickens.

-> Optional: Serve with freshly squeezed lime juice.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

6- Zucchini Roll-ups

Herbs & spices I use: basil, oregano, black pepper

Add the chopped leek and a pinch of salt to a pan and sauté them with 1 tsp of olive oil until golden. Then, add the chopped garlic and let it cook for another minute.

Slice the zucchinis thinly using a mandoline, then sprinkle with salt to shrink and soften.

Process the tofu, sauteed onions and garlic, 1 tsp olive oil, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, salt and spices in a food processor to make vegan ricotta.

Pour half of the tomato sauce into the bottom of a baking dish and wipe the excess salt off of the zucchini slices.

Spread vegan ricotta on each zucchini strip, then roll it up and place in the baking dish. Cover with the remaining tomato sauce half and bake for about 20-35 minutes or until bubbly.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

7- Cookies

Cover the dates in water after removing their pits and let them soak for at least 4 hours.

Preheat the oven to 180°C or 356°F.

Process the other ingredients, except for the baking powder, in a food processor until thoroughly combined. Finally, slowly incorporate the baking powder to the mixture.

Divide batter into large cookies and bake on a non-stick baking pan for 20-30 minutes. Open the oven at 10 minutes and flip cookies.

-> Let them cool for at least 15 min before eating.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

8- Energy Brownie Bites

Stir all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly combined. Cover the mixing bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours until they are firm enough.

Roll mixture into balls or any shape you'd like. You could also use an ice cube silicone tray to make sure they are all the same size.

Eurovision 2024: #23

23. POLAND Luna - "The Tower" 29th place

Decade Ranking: 85/153 [Above Luke Black, below Tvorchi]

POLITICS CLAIMS ITS FIRST VICTIM!!! ORACLE NATALIA WAS RIGHT!!

JK, I wish that were canon, but I cannot reverse-engineer our reality into a fiction where Serbia qualifies over Poland by a hair because they blanked them after Xi's visit hijacked the live broadcast.

Anyway, this section of the ranking is always chaotic and inconsistent. Bad songs with acts that made me lol, alongside kind of charming hopeless filler, alongside great songs with painfully bad lives.

Enter "The Tower". People been saying it's a bland, generic song and as is often the case in a democracy, the people are fucking WRONG!!!! Quirky indie wenches with brittle voices singing metaphorical build-me-up synthpop is MY safe zone and you won't make me leave it!

This came with the addition of Luna having the best warbled pronunciation since Maggie Burger ("BREAUXKEN BAWDEEZ SCAATERT FRUE MAHISTERRY" OB*SESSED*.) and being relatably bad at chess (same, girl.) I refused to believe Luna was birthed into this world. She emerged fully formed from a pod, (designed by the same crazy medical students that have now captured Slimane to use his live voice as ethical (for the patient) cancer therapy), created with the sole purpose of fitting the template of a Bubblecore Fave. Luna represents EXACTLY the sort of act I would love to overrate at my leisure.

Sadly... nope. It all kinda went the way of Roxen in Malmö. It was badly performed and badly mixed. I feel like a lot of Poles (I'd say "people" but do "Poles" count as such? Isn't selling your entire soul for the first bad banger a mandatory initiation for Eurofan Poles?) would just scapegoat Luna because THAT WITCH BEAT JUSTYNA, but I disagree. I sympathize with her and I think her team did her dirty. This Polish NQ was a group effort and Luna was only one cog in that machine. 🙂 Besides, Justyna deserved a break from the spotlight so she can enjoy her four remaining Christmases.

The capital mistake was to not recognize the level of performance maturity Luna had. She's fairly inexperienced and not the most powerful vocalist. She's also NOT a dancer. At the time of the contest she was at a level of "can hold a tune when standing still, on a good day."

So if she struggles to perform the act you've planned, somebody's got to step in and make it so she can perform it every time.

Simplify and practice it until she's able to do it.

and do not, for the love of Sennek, make her MOVE WHILE SINGING?!!

LET HER CONCENTRATE ON HER VOCALS, YOU SHITS.

WE ALL SAW HOW ROXEN MURDERIZED FOUR SONGS INTO AN EARLY GRAVE FOUR YEARS AGO AND THEN DIED THE FOLLOWING YEAR WITH AMNESIA UNDER AN ELABORATE CHOREO.

HOW HAVE SOME DELEGATIONS STILL NOT LEARNED THIS EASY, ESSENTIAL STAGING LESSON?!

IF YOUR PEFORMER CANNOT SING + MOVE, PICK ONE ("sing" unless she's Kaleen) AND STICK TO IT. FIND SOME OTHER WAY TO ADD IN MOMENTUM.

(lol sorry for the rant but i'm writing these late at night on whatever energy reserves I have left so I can to keep up with 1 update per day. Anger's all I have left. 😔)

It's not like the MV didn't offer an easy way into good Eurovision-friendly staging. Dear TVP, what exactly was wrong with this?

Just stick her in the middle of the cross on a podium, and drape finery around her until she resembles the titular tower. The song was about self-discovery and growth, and that would send the message across with minimal confusion.

But Poland went with what they went with and sigh. It was the opposite of Slovenia, really - it looked AMAZING but didn't really compensate from the fact that it sounded VERY BAD.

But if the staging looked that good, then why was it bad? Well, Poland had a concept, an idea and it could have worked, but it didn't.

Conceptually, this is good staging. The backdrops and floordrops were rad and the chess-themed styling worked gave it a beautiful and unique feel like we'd never seen before.

However, it came across as Poland making an attempt at directing the part of Europe that weren't on Xi Jinping's visit schedule away from their song, and this an erroneous display of disrespect. Visualize according to what the song needs in order to shine as a song. Don't obfuscate it with flourishes that don't synergize with it.

There were too many elements. You don't need three chess piece dancers, AND LED sorcery AND an elaborate choreography AND two giant rook props AND two fucking dress changes (one of which happened in wideshot because ofc it did).

The beauty of Art is knowing what elements you can keep and which you can (and should) take away. (does not apply to "minimalist art" which lands somewhere between "decoration" and "scam".) Simplify, rather than complicate. Don't thrown in all the ideas you have as a Hail Mary (notice that this route is often taken by desperate countries that are notoriously shit at Eurovision - Poland, Denmark, Malta, etc). Test out which elements work, and choose those that suit the artist the best.

Poland's failure is choosing excessive staging that pushed too hard for (1) a performer who was not ready to execute all the pieces (2) a really simple, fun basic synthpop song. It overwhelmed both Luna and "The Tower".

It was not Luna's fault. Not entirely. The Polish creative team had a series of lapses in judgement, and it ended up in a shock NQ that I didn't see coming until it actually happened. Even though I like the overal package (the song's really that good!) I didn't feel it was an undeserved elimination.

What killed Poland wasn't just inexperience, politics or overambition.

It was foremost a lack of confidence in their own product.

Poland's Trzaskowski on course for tight presidential election win

WARSAW, June 1 (Reuters) - Liberal Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski appeared set for a razor-thin win in Poland's presidential election on Sunday, an exit poll showed, in a vote seen as a test of the nation's support for a pro-European course versus Donald Trump-style nationalism.

An exit poll by Ipsos for broadcasters TVN, TVP and Polsat showed Trzaskowski of the ruling centrists Civic Coalition (KO) winning 50.3% of ballots. His rival, a conservative historian and amateur boxer, Karol Nawrocki, backed by nationalists Law and Justice (PiS), was at 49.7%.

Official results were due on Monday, although a late poll that mixes some results with exit surveys was expected to be published overnight. The exit poll carries a margin of error of 2 percentage points.

Trzaskowski, 53, campaigned on a promise to help the government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk complete its democratic reforms, which they both say aim to repair an erosion of checks and balances under the previous nationalist government that lost power in 2023.

"We won," he told jubilant party members after the exit surveys came out. "I will bring people together, I will be constructive, I will be a president for all Poles. I will be your president."

Polish Defense Spending to Hit 4.7% of GDP by 2025 | Gen. Jarosław Kraszewski

Poland's largest defense expo is underway in Kielce, with over 750 companies displaying cutting-edge military technology. Notably, Poland is increasing its defense budget to 4.7% of its GDP by next year. Amid the signing of major contracts, including an airport protection system from a Spanish firm, there’s also a push to develop domestic production, such as a planned ammunition factory. Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz has also emphasized the need for "precise" contracts, including ongoing negotiations for more K2 tanks from South Korea. General Jarosław Kraszewski, former Director of the Armed Forces Supervision Department at the Polish National Security Bureau, joined us today on TVP World to discuss these developments.

P.S. The Poles have made a very correct decision! Glad to hear: "Poland is increasing its defence budget to 4.7% of its GDP". Considering the high level of political corruption in the West and the extent to which Russian spies and agents of influence have infiltrated Western societies, Western security "guarantees" and "international laws" cannot be relied upon at all: 1) The Russian imperialists would never have started the war against Ukraine if Western capital, specifically German, French, Dutch, American and all other businessmen, had not invested huge funds in the Russian economy and in the restoration of the Russian military potential (the Russians obtained the military technology they lacked, both directly and indirectly, the West donated for the Russians possibility to steal Western military technology secrets without hindrance); 2) The West significantly reduced the military potential of Western European countries and CATEGORICALLY REFUSED TO INCREASE the defense of Eastern Europe and the Baltic regions at leas since 2006. Even when the Russian invasion of Georgia began in Europe in August 2008, the West pretended that nothing was happening...;

Even more, Western politicians started pushing the idea that NATO is no longer needed, the Western fiasco in Syria, and the West went so far in an absurd situation that they even started talking about giving the Russians a "sphere of influence" in Europe...it must be allowed to attack Ukraine and the Baltic States without hindrance. A. Merkel's German policy in relations with Russia was a particularly big shame for Western politicians, and of course the political circus organized by Donald Trump in America.... It is such a shame that there are no words to describe it... Of course, the Kremlin and Beijing saw all this activity of the Western useful idiots very well... the Russian army, together with Iran, entered Syria without interference, continued attacks in Ukraine, Beijing is becoming more and more aggressive, and this is only thanks to the useful idiots of the West, who have betrayed absolutely all the West's civilization values....

EU to provide €5.5 mln in emergency funds for Radio Free Europe

May 20, 2025

The European Union will provide emergency funds to keep Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) operational after the Trump administration froze funding for the global pro-democracy broadcaster.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said on Tuesday [May 20] that the bloc's foreign ministers had agreed to a €5.5 million contract to "support the vital work of Radio Free Europe."

She described the short-term funding as a "safety net" for independent journalism.

RFE/RL, which broadcasts in 27 languages across 23 countries in Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East, lost a major portion of its financing after President Donald Trump's administration cut off funding in March, accusing the media outlet of pushing a liberal agenda.

Last month, a U.S. federal judge ordered the administration to restore $12 million that had been allocated to the broadcaster by Congress.

Lawyers for RFE/RL warned it would be forced to shut down by June without the funds.

Kallas acknowledged that the EU could not cover the broadcaster's global shortfall but said the bloc could help it continue operating in countries within the EU's neighborhood that need independent news sources.

Founded during the Cold War, RFE/RL has its corporate headquarters in Washington and journalistic headquarters in Prague, the Czech capital.

NASA beats the clock to save Voyager 1 from deep space doom

By David Szondy May 18, 2025

It was race against time as NASA engineers recently raced to fix a thruster problem aboard the vintage Voyager 1 deep space probe. It's hard enough to repair a craft at the edge of the solar system, but this time they faced a potentially deadly deadline.

Launched almost half a century ago, Voyager 1 and its sister probe Voyager 2 have a special place in the heart of NASA, which is determined to keep the robotic pair functioning so long as there's a trickle of current coming from the onboard nuclear generators. It's a bit like keeping a vintage car on the road, except this car is 15.46 billion miles (24.87 billion km) away, a radio message takes 23 hours and two minutes to reach it, there are no spare parts, and no one around to even adjust a screw.

Despite this, NASA has been blessed by the Voyager spacecraft being insanely over-engineered. The people who built and launched it might all be dead or retired, the manuals literally turning yellow with age, and the code that runs on its computers the digital equivalent of Sanskrit, but both probes are still operating, albeit at a much lower level. Over the years, the engineers have had to contend with a radio unit switching itself off, data feeds suddenly spouting gibberish, and continuing thruster problems, but they still keep ticking along.

The thrusters have been a particular problem because they are among the very few systems with moving parts left running on Voyager 1, and something moving means something can go wrong. Essentially, there are four thruster systems on the spacecraft. One of these controls the attitude of the spacecraft so it points in the right direction, the second controls its roll, and three and four are backup systems.

Over the 48 years since Voyager 1 was launched, these thrusters have begun to show their age and NASA has had to deal with clogging fuel lines and persnickety valves by all manner of work arounds, including switching from the primary to the back up systems and then back again.

In the latest instance, the primary roll thrusters have built up so much residue in their fuel lines that it's feared that the whole system could seize up in a few months. To avoid this, the engineers spent March of this year coaxing the secondary thrusters back to life. These had already been declared unserviceable in 2004, but the team found that by reactivating some internal heaters they could get the back-up thrusters going again, so Voyager 1 can keep its radio antenna pointed at the Earth by locking onto a guide star.

This isn't the first time such a cosmic correction has been made, but there was a particular sense of urgency about this one because NASA was facing a target that, if missed, could have meant the end of the mission.

Voyager 1 is kept in contact with Earth through NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN), which consists of three antennas at the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex near Barstow, California; the Madrid Deep Space Communications Complex near Robledo de Chavela, Spain; and the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex near Canberra, Australia. Unfortunately, only Canberra can track Voyager's part of the sky, and its main 230-ft (70-m) DSS-43 antenna was scheduled to undergo a major refit beginning in May 2025 and continuing until February 2026. During this time, Voyager would be incommunicado with only brief contact in August and December.

This meant that NASA had to repair Voyager 1 and ensure that it could autonomously carry out routine attitude adjustments using a new schedule of firing times and durations to put as little stress as possible on the systems – not to mention turning on the dormant back-up thrusters after 21 years without them blowing up.

According to the space agency, Voyager 1 responded to commands on March 20. This was two days after the orders were sent, so there was quite a bit of pencil chewing, nail biting, and coffee swilling in the meantime. In the end, telemetry reports confirmed that the temperature of the thruster heaters rose as predicted and Voyager 1 can carry on with its mission of exploration as it hurtles into interstellar space, never to return.

"It was such a glorious moment. Team morale was very high that day," said Todd Barber, the mission's propulsion lead at JPL. "These thrusters were considered dead. And that was a legitimate conclusion. It's just that one of our engineers had this insight that maybe there was this other possible cause and it was fixable. It was yet another miracle save for Voyager."

[ID: Small flatbreads stuffed with ground 'beef' and green olives; a plate of mlouwi and a Moroccan teaset are in the background. End ID]

بطبوط معمر بالكفتة / Batbout m'mr blkefta (Moroccan stuffed flatbreads with 'beef')

Batbout—also known as toghrift (تغريفت) or mkhamer (مخامر), based on the region—are Moroccan flatbreads which usually have an interior pocket. Large batbout are often served with grilled meats or to sop up juices from tajines, while smaller ones are stuffed with various fillings. Batbout are sometimes made thicker so that a pocket does not form, and then dipped in a honey-butter syrup like baghrir; some Moroccans reserve the term "mkhamer" for this preparation.

Batbout are eaten year-round, but are especially enjoyed during Ramadan as a side dish on the ftour (فطور; fast-breaking) table, where they are stuffed with ground beef, tuna, chicken, or cold cuts. You could also serve stuffed batbout as a main with a green salad or Moroccan cooked salad.

Recipe under the cut!

Patreon | Tip jar

Makes about 15 small flatbreads.

Ingredients:

For the flatbread:

1 cup (120g) bread flour

1 cup (165g) semolina flour

1/2 Tbsp active dry yeast

1 1/2 tsp kosher salt

1/2 tsp sugar

About 3/4 cups water

For the filling:

3/4 cup TVP (textured vegetable protein)

1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp water or vegetable stock

1 tsp soy sauce

1 tsp vegetarian beef stock from concentrate, or substitute more soy sauce

1 onion (yellow or red), minced or grated

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1 Tbsp tomato paste

1/2 small green bell pepper, minced

1/2 small red bell pepper, minced

Small bunch of green herbs (ربيع / rbi'): cilantro and/or parsley

2 tsp sweet paprika

1 tsp ground turmeric

1 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp ground cumin

Red chili powder or hot sauce, to taste

Squeeze of lemon juice (optional)

Olive oil, to fry

You may use your preferred ground beef substitute in place of the TVP; in this case, omit the water and stock concentrate.

Instructions:

For the flatbread:

1. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Make a well in the flour and add in just enough water to make a smooth, slightly sticky dough. You may need more or less than 3/4 cup.

2. Once the dough comes together, knead it by hand for 10 minutes, or in a stand mixer with a hook attachment on medium-low for 7 minutes, until it is very smooth, soft, elastic, and tacky. Add additional water or flour as necessary.

3. Form the flatbreads. Larger flatbreads may be formed by breaking off a small handful of dough, rolling it in flour, and patting it flat until it forms a round about 1/4" thick. Small flatbreads are often made by rolling out the dough about 1/4" thick on a floured surface, then cutting circles of the desired size out with a cookie cutter or glass.

4. Set flatbreads aside in a single layer on a floured surface, cover, and allow to rest for one to two hours, until noticeably puffy.

5. Heat a large dry skillet on medium and add as many flatbreads as will fit. When they puff up slightly, flip each one to the other side. Continue to cook, turning over as necessary, until flatbreads have dark golden brown spots on each side. You may find that the flatbreads puffing up gives you room to add more to the skillet; continue in this way until all flatbreads are cooked.

Batbout breads may be kept at room temperature for a couple days at this stage, or frozen for use later.

For the filling:

1. Mix all ground spices in a small bowl. Hydrate TVP for about 10 minutes in hot water, stock concentrate, soy sauce, and a spoonful of the spice mixture.

2. Heat 3 Tbsp olive oil in a large pan on medium-high. Add TVP and spread it out in a single layer. Allow it to brown without agitating for a few minutes before stirring it, scraping the bottom of the pan. Repeat this process a few times, adding more oil as necessary, until the TVP is deeply golden brown on all sides. Remove TVP from the pan.

3. Heat another 2 Tbsp of olive oil and fry onion for a couple minutes until softening. Add bell peppers and spices and fry for another couple minutes until spices are fragrant.

4. Add tomato paste and stir to combine. Add olives and herbs and mix. Return TVP to pan and mix to combine. Remove from heat. Add hot sauce and lemon juice, as desired.

To serve:

1. Cut a slit in the side of each flatbread with a small, sharp knife. Stuff with hot filling and set aside. Serve warm.

dogslop v1 has... 61 grams of fibre. not feasible right away. would take a month or so to transition to avoid horrible tummy pain and farting all the way to the moon. meets almost all nutrient needs for a muzzlegirl sized girl though!

1 cup dry TVP

1 cup frozen peas

1 cup dry red lentils

1/2 cup brown rice

1/2 cup quinoa

oneion (1 onion)

1 cup butternut squash

1 can crushed tomatoes

1 cup greek yoghurt

soak ur things that need soaking in the requisite amount of liquid of choice (probably bone broth bc otherwise the yoghurt is the only source of B12) & do not cut the skin off the squash, that's where they keep the nutrience. add seasonings and toppings of choice (i would go variously indian or mexican with it)

this sounds filling enough to stop me eating other foods and boring enough to make other foods very valuable to me

[legumepowered]

vegan chili cheese fries

water in a pot, add:

tvp [red lentils would also be good

peppers [I used dried]

precooked black beans [made in crock pot]

tomato powder [a puree would work well, just use less water)

seasoning: my everything seasoning, s+p, taco spice blend [I would use chili powder/ more red pepper flakes next time, there was no heat]

Serve over fries [ I used premade + heated in my air fryer]. Topped with vegan cheese, but use anything you want

I also had an apple with PB and dried cranberries on the pb.

I didn't measure anything, so I really don't know the macros. I probably had about a 1/4 cup tvp - 16g protein just from that. + everything else. I'm sure it was over 20g protein, which isn't bad.
