We (me, my girlfriend, and her housemate) spent a lovely afternoon at Sinophilia, a Chinese tea shop in Boonton, NJ.
They offer Chinese Tea Ceremony, and it was splendid. It turns out that the process was Guong Foo.

Stephen Miller represents everything vile about this administration and drawing more attention to him will (a) make it harder for the administration to pretend this isn't creepy white nationalism in action and (b) likely make Trump jealous to the point he shitcans him like Elon.
Win-win.
Win-win.
More people should be talking about the utter freak that is Stephen Miller and his white nationalist worldview. He's the architect behind most of this chaos as Trump is golfing, falling asleep during meetings, making money of memecoins and tripping while climbing stairs.

Judge Reyes is asking if the DoD cited a Beyonce album in their anti-trans policy, would the attorney demand she ignore common sense and just listen to the album.

I’m going to talk about pages 11, 12, and 13 of this brief in depth, because that is the part where the Trump DOJ tries to defend the Trump Executive Order.
The lawyers here so deeply misrepresent some of the cited material that it should be cause for sanctions in any just world.

There was a recent post about misting beans before grinding them to control static. I am using a 3Bomber. Plenty of static (except for one set of beans?) A light spritz does the trick. Thanks for the tip. #coffeefeed

John Roberts is very upset that the public has lost confidence in John Roberts and the institution John Roberts leads following a series of confidence-cratering actions by John Roberts and his colleagues, and therefore would like everyone to know that this is not John Roberts' fault, it's yours.
