Tonight's cocktail is a clarified Orange Chocolate Negroni (a classic milk punch): gin, Campari, vermouth, Cointreau, cocoa bitters, orange bitters and chocolate milk! Garnished with a wedge of orange dark chocolate.
Lovely drink with the silky smooth mouth feel of a clarified milk punch.

I don't know why people keep saying 'we just have to get through 4 years'. The US has passed through the event horizon and is now on the other side. It is not ever coming back.
Trump is not going to leave in 4 years. People should accept this. He's telling you again and again.

As a Canadian observing the chaos erupting in the US on a daily basis, I have one question:
Where are the Democrats?
(My question is genuine. I can't understand the silence. The 'price of eggs' talking point is long past its Best Before date.)

Did you know that Canada and Denmark had a long-standing territorial dispute in the Arctic over Hans Island to which both countries laid claim? As a means of expressing their sovereignty over the disputed area, each country at least once a year. would visit the island to assert their claim. (½)

While Trump is trolling Canada about annexing it, Canadians are in Los Angeles tonight dropping water on the Palisades fire. He’s a disgrace.

Interesting... content moderation will continue in the EU. I wonder how long before Trump starts to threaten the EU with tariffs on the basis the EU represses free speech.
The Tech Bros are falling in behind Trump for a reason and it isn't because they believe in his policies.
