I signed up to sell coffee art on Etsy. Going through the set-up process. I already regret it. Not just the Etsy, but the internet. It wasn't my idea, but I regret it. #coffeesky #art #hustle #itsnotasidehustleitisallthatido

I remain convinced that this image will provide the bump to get Mattingly elected into the Hall of Fame next month. Meanwhile, the Contemporary Era ballot includes some decoys.

From Wikipedia, "Generation Z, often shortened to Gen Z and informally known as Zoomers, is the demographic cohort succeeding Millennials and preceding Generation Alpha."

I've received numerous press releases and guest inquiries from coffee roasters who are (paraphrasing): Shaking up the coffee industry for Gen-Z'ers through innovative instant coffees!
Serious question: how many new ways are there to produce instant #coffee that we'd consider "innovative?" #coffeesky

The team with the shortest offseasons over the past 2 years continues to burn it at both ends… and win. How will the #Dodgers do after last night’s marathon? Just fine, I believe.

People often ask me,* "How often do you think about getting a 'real' job?" Which I hear as, "Are you finally admitting you're terrible at this and giving up?"
My answer always varies, but inevitably ends at, "Not today."

For Fresh Cup, I wrote about coffee wilt disease, which devastated production and livelihoods in West and Central Africa during the mid to late 20th century.
In recent times the disease has retreated, and has consequently been largely forgotten. But it remains a threat. #CoffeeSky

Lessons From Coffee’s Forgotten Foe
Coffee wilt disease once wreaked havoc on Africa’s robusta farms. Today, the disease is mostly forgotten—but its lessons must be remembered.

I'm thinking about skipping a concert that I really wanted to go to tonight because it is raining and cold and I don't like going out late after dark and it is a long drive and I kinda want to curl up on the couch in front of a fireplace with the dog instead. Does that make me old?

An important thread debunking Starbucks' PSL invention claims. #CoffeeSky
So uhh...I just impulsively decided to fact-check the official origin story for the pumpkin spice latte and it is A LIE or at least incorrect.
Starbucks claims to have invented it in 2003
But a coffee shop in Portland was selling them in 2001 (the earliest mention I can find)

![Starbucks began developing the pumpkin spice latte in January 2003, following the success of winter beverages such as the peppermint mocha and eggnog latte.
