Time to head to Costco for some coffee beans.
It's good that there's a 25% tarriff on imported coffee now. This will incentivize people to purchase American coffee, grown in the New Jersey coffee forests

I got to visit one of my very favorite bookstores today! Any guesses where I went?

When asking for mercy feels like an attack, you might want to self-reflect.

This—not the President—is what’s spiking the price of eggs.
Data released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture which showed that over 20 million egg-laying chickens in the U.S. were killed by H5N1 bird flu in the last quarter of 2024.

I’ve been wondering this as well. 🤔
Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Does everyone do this? To find my favorite accounts from other platforms, I look up an account I respect— like @politicsgirl.bsky.social or @rbreich.bsky.social , etc.— and click on their “following”. Everyone’s there! Way better than lists—vetted and so easy.

Bookmark ONE Instagram reel about sautéed cicadas to gross out my kid, and the algorithm decides I am an aspiring entomophage. 😳 (If it skitters, they make fritters.)

Since Congress and the Supreme Court wants to ban TikTok because it's owned by a Chinese-company, then they should also ban Twitter for being owned by an apartheid loving South African.

I will never understand how my fellow Americans decided they wanted this again. 💔
Whenever disaster strikes, Trump and his heartless maga cult immediately use it to attack their political opponents. They make up wild conspiracy theories, and lie about recovery efforts. They politicize the victims, and try to distract from the fact they'll do nothing to help them.

Our country is about to be run by a convicted felon. Not just any convicted felon, but a singularly stupid one.

Let’s get one thing straight: the cost of the Green New Deal is far less than the cost of losing our planet to the climate crisis.
