BACK WHERE I BELONG
1½ oz. Amaro di Angostura
½ oz. overproof Jamaican rum
½ oz. banana liqueur
½ oz. coffee liqueur
1 oz. espresso
1 tsp. cinnamon syrup

This is an original of mine. I thought it was fitting now that I’m back semi-regularly sharing my daily cocktails...

Yet in 2010, Noem—then a congressional candidate—had “20 speeding tickets, three stop-sign violations, two seat-belt violations and a citation for driving with no driver’s license.” She had six court notices for failing to appear, and had two warrants out for her arrest. trib.al/uQSDaqR

WORDSMITH
¾ oz. overproof Jamaican rum
¾ oz. Green Chartreuse
¾ oz. maraschino liqueur
¾ oz. fresh lime juice

A Last Word riff created by Chuck Taggart (sazeracla). He swaps out gin for Jamaican rum, bringing funk while keeping that equal parts balance intact. It reminds me…

Every so often, Canada reminds the world who we are.
Not through speeches or slogans, but through small acts that echo for generations.
This is one of those acts.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Tariffs: giant tax, code red. #econsky
Thanks to Donald Trump's tariffs, Americans are currently experiencing one of the largest tax increases in American history.

This is a code red for our economy.

Imogen is a delightfully rich, yellow rose from David Austin with delicately frilled petals with pale edges around a classic button eye. Her medium-sized blossoms are produced in clusters of 3-6 with a gentle apple-scented fragrance. Imogen only improves with age, from Rebecca Naumanns garden.

Opinion: Our current tax code is not asking the wealthy to reinvest in our economy, and that failure is weakening services and programs working Canadians may use to get ahead.

An important thing that is often ignored about Mamdani: he's cheerful! Taking the city's (and country's) problems seriously doesn't have to mean projecting nothing but darkness and rage. His positive vibe is an unbelievably effective way to make the tent bigger. As is fun/dorky stuff like this.

Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has been repeatedly disgorging lava at its summit crater about once a week since late last year.
Kilauea's lava soared as high as a skyscraper during a 6-hour eruption. Here's what to know
Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano erupted for six hours on Wednesday. Officials say lava fountains reached 1,300 feet or 400 meters before petering out.

Trump's trillions defy basic arithmetic #econsky
Trump to the UN: "In just eight months since I took office, we have secured commitments and money paid for $17 trillion. Think of it." (The entire US GDP is $30 trillion, so I'm thinking of it and the math ain't mathing.)

"25 percent of the black male vote he got. This is the least racially polarized election since the 1970s. He has a multiethnic coalition behind him." And at least some of it is driven by the toxicity of the Democratic brand and not love of Trump.

Geologists Dorothy and Keith Stoffel, with pilot Bruce Judson, make a final pass over Mount St. Helens. A M5.1 quake strikes. Ice and rock collapse into the crater.

Below them, the north face heaves—then gives way. The largest landslide in recorded history begins.

if 10% of consumers consume 50% and get all the tax breaks, why would companies care about tariffs/inflation, when the 10% are immune?

RIP David Baltimore. He is famous for breakthrough work that challenged dogma that information flows from DNA to RNA. In viruses, it is the opposite. This took virology in a new direction.

This was NIH funded research.
