Hi, I’m Jason. You might know me from How Long Gone, a podcast I do with my friend Chris, or maybe for my efforts as a DJ. I live in Los Angeles and am interested in everything related to food except cooking it professionally for hundreds of people daily. Watching competition cooking shows, I dream about being a judge more than a contestant. I spend most of my days buying, cooking, and thinking about food in my own little world.

Welcome guys!! For everyone that’s new here and doesn’t know me- Hi! I’m Nara you may know me from uploading cooking videos on a couple different platforms or from way before when I wasn’t cooking at all and documenting all my outfits and parts of my life online. Sometimes social media can feel like you’re not getting to know a person well enough. I want to connect with all of you on a more personal level.

I have no shortage of burger recipes. Here are a few that you should make: I find burgers to be such an easy, delicious weeknight meal year round. But the fact that we can grill them up any time during the summer? Sign me up ! My lovely father always orders a Hickory Burger from any restaurant that serves them. I feel like it was only a matter of time before I did my spin on this classic recipe.

Free Spirited Retards of the World, RISE UP! This week, the one and only Dr. Ben Braddock joins the program. Ben is a twitter anon, esoteric health influencer, and commissioning editor of rw dissident magazine im1776. He joins Poolhouse for this ultra-cosmic discussion that covers a wide array of touchpoints, and is centered on themes of managed decline, spiritual warfare, and the true meaning of the American spirit. It is a meeting of the minds, resulting in the type of classic backklash content that you will not find anywhere else.

A year and a half ago, I wrote what might be a terribly naïve column for The Washington Examiner titled “High school debate can save America”. Hyperbolic headline aside, the underlying premise was one I hoped desperately to be true: that by creating a culture where people listen to a wider range of perspectives, our republic could be strengthened. As a former high school debater myself, I felt strongly that if more young people were encouraged to contend with ideas outside their comfort zones, over time would we develop a healthier democracy.

Happy Ides of March! Or as we call it at Sovereign Sunday, One of the abstractions that has been running through my mind recently is the difference between High Trust and Low Trust Societies, and the corrosion in trust, productivity and standards of living that our descent from a high-trust to a low trust society is causing. High-trust societies are characterized by a strong belief in the reliability and integrity of individuals, institutions, and the government.

I am a 39-year-old male with multiple sclerosis who was treated with interferon-beta before having two courses of alemtuzumab. It was about three months after the second course that I developed right hip pain and, two months after that, left hip pain. After an MRI of my hips, my orthopaedic surgeon diagnosed me with bilateral avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip. Apparently, the high-dose steroids I was given to prevent alemtuzumab-related infusion reactions are responsible.

All I have to say is one word, and I’m going to stretch it out and make it count: Noooooooooooo! One of my favorite places in Savannah, Georgia, is the old-school Krispy Kreme on Skidaway Road, which I usually hit whenever I’m in the area— after checking in on the last 1970s Taco Bell sign down the street, of course. This evening, I was alerted to a post by Jesse Blanco of the food site Eat It & Like It reporting that the location had closed.

My weekly take on America's news, culture and ideas -- from exactly 30 years ago. From 1989 to 2007, during the last Golden Age of print, I wrote a weekly newspaper column about what I found interesting, provocative or ideologically subversive in the incredibly diverse and powerful world of magazines. This one appeared in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 30 years ago this week. Nov. 18, 1993 Daniel Patrick Monyihan of New York, widely regarded as one of the smartest men in the Senate, recently wrote an essay that attracted a lot of attention among the chattering class of pundits and commentators.
