Happy to be of service. Zhug by itself is a pretty strong sauce so you use small quantities of it, but you can make it into more of a dip by mixing it with about two parts of yoghurt (vegan yoghurt works fine too).

I see your Toum and I raise Yemen's Zhug: another absolutely banging middle eastern condiment. It's easy af to make, you can decide how spicy you want it, and it rips. I put it on basically anything.

I Should Be Able To Mute America (www.gawkerarchives.com)

As the US elections draw near, I must once again bitch about being subjected to US cultural hegemony.

It's so fucking exhausting folks. Please, God, somebody invent the "Mute America" button. I would genuinely get one of those brain chips implanted in my head if it would allow me to smoothly silence any content about US politics.

As a weakling who only speaks two languages, I am cursed to either suffer my home country's discourse (which, trust me, is just as brainrotten as the US's if not more), or to stay in the anglophone media space where America reigns supreme. Nowhere is safe. There is no dark corner where I can hide from Trump's dementia-ridden quotes, or Gamers4Harris, or whichever way Musk is embarrassing himself this time, or the general attitude of people regularly forgetting that the world - and more specifically their online audience - does not all live in the US.

The world should institute a reverse Great Firewall to contain American discourse within the physical boundaries of the 50 states, like the dangerous infohazard that it is.

Please. I beg for mercy. We have suffered enough.
